The Haunted Windchimes sound draws from traditional folk and American roots music. The songs have a vintage quality, as if they might have been written yesterday or 75 years ago. Grounded in honeyed harmonies and spirited pickin, it lies in a nowhere land between distinct styles: Its not quite bluegrass or blues or country.
When their voices blend, it is nothing short of beautiful, writes Bill Reed of The Colorado Springs Gazette.
The sound is often moody and melancholy, but it is always deeply affecting. Desirae Garcia (ukulele), Chela Lujan (banjo) and Inaiah Lujan (guitar), Mike Clark (harmonica, guitar and mandolin) and Sean Fanning (stand up bass).

This show features the songs of Jim Ringer and Mary McCaslin. Known for her songs about the West, its landscape, and its outlaws as well as her insightful songs about relationships, Mary has influenced countless other performers.

Mary McCaslin
Mary McCaslin represents an unbroken link between traditional folksingers and today's "new folk" singer-songwriters. Her music ranges from ballads of the old west to her own songs of the new west and modern times. Regarded as a pioneer of open guitar tunings, and known for her distinctive vocal style, Mary's influences can be heard in many younger folk performers.
LARRY KELP KPFA, BERKELEY
"She sounds as if she had risen out of the Western soil and became its voice."
