The Accidentals<br />

The Accidentals is made up of two amazing young girls and a<br />

lot of energy. Savannah Buist who plays acoustic guitar, violin,<br />

banjo, mandolin and bass and Katie Larson on cello make<br />

music a celebration. They are joined by Michael Dause who is<br />

their drummer. “Our music,” Savannah tells us, “has been<br />

described as genre-blending. We love that idea to combine<br />

genres! Gypsy jazz, rock, folk… it’s a lot of fun!”<br />

Their album, Parking Lot was recorded last spring and was<br />

self-produced and self-released. The title track, “Parking Lot”<br />

is an inside joke within the band. “After high school we hit the<br />

road doing 230 shows a year. When we started touring the<br />

west coast, we found out the some venues have rules where if<br />

you’re not 21 years old, you’re allowed to go inside and set<br />

up, sound check, but you have to wait out in the parking lot<br />

until it was your performance time. So we spent a lot of time<br />

in parking lots,” Savannah laughs, “but now we’re out of the<br />

parking lot!” To find out more about the band please visit them<br />

Charlie Mars<br />

Charlie Mars, originally from Mississippi, says he writes music<br />

to connect and to share with everyone. His CD, The Money<br />

which is the final volume in the Charlie Mars’ Texas trilogy<br />

was released in 2012 and has been described as solid from<br />

beginning to end.<br />

Following that, his new album, Beach Town was recorded in<br />

Texas and has more of a country feel than he’s ever done<br />

before. It will be released in August. You can find more at<br />
