About the artists

“Michael Manring“can do more with a bass than even the most creative individual could imagine. (Napa Valley Register)” He is, hands down, one of the world’s most innovative and unique musicians. Beyond his virtuosity, as Tom Darter wrote in Keyboard Magazine, “his brand of transcendental chops…is all in the service of … the joy of making music.” Follow the advice of France’s Musicien magazine: “Do not miss your next opportunity to discover the bassist with the most fresh and inventive playing today.”

Brian Gore Guitar Poet gained his fingerstyle guitar reputation the hard way – one show at a time. As founder of International Guitar Night, he performed on live recordings with legends like Pierre Bensusan, Ralph Towner, Andrew York, D’Gary and Lulo Reinhardt.  His solo guitar albums include releases inspired by Santa Cruz and the Sonoma/ Napa and Livermore Valley wine regions. He spent 7 years on his singer-songwriter debut, called “Seek the Love You’re Yearning“, which he’ll be drawing from on this special night.
