Van Walker, finger-picker, story-teller launches his bittersweet country-folk songs. With songs varying from tales of paranoid spies and love-sick rabbits, to urban bandits and tram-hopping adventures, Van Walker is a young singer-songwriter of the old school, whose songs draw you into the heart of the matter.

The Bluegrass Support Group formed in 2007, with the four members gathering regularly to support their "need" to play bluegrass music and sing soulful harmonies. The members of the group are well known local and experienced musicians Danny Boothman on vocals, guitar, mandolin and harmonica, Terry Cupples on vocals and bass, Greg McGrath on vocals, banjo, and guitar, and Carolyne Boothman on vocals and guitar. They enjoy performing traditional bluegrass songs and instrumentals, combined with recent bluegrass material and believe that everything should be played in the only style possible ..... bluegrass.
