“Americana Music (a-mer-i-KAN-a MYOO-zik), n. That's what you'll find here at Snazzy Productions. Americana music is American roots music, from acappella to bluegrass to zydeco. It's folk,rock'n'roll, blues, the weird edge of country. Americana is Hawaiian slack key, rockabilly, and country swing. Sometimes, it's a mixture of all of this, other times its something your niece from Austin just made up.

The artists represented at Snazzy share our peculiar view of birth, death, and the music that comes in between.

Snazzy Productions is a proud sponsor of "PLEASE STAND BY", the live music program on KPIG, Sunday Morning 10:00 A.M.”

TREE HOUSE CONCERTS 
Greg and Juliet Pool present house concerts that are small, invitation-only parties on the Monterey Peninsula (California) for friends who tire of having to drive to Santa Cruz or the Bay Area to see great music.

According to Greg, a driving force in the peninsula music scene, “Our group likes to hear acoustic Americana, roots, folk, and Celtic, and like to book Sunday's, letting performers route through ... you guessed it ... Santa Cruz or the Bay Area on a Friday or Saturday night.

“We tend to book by season (e.g. Spring, Summer, Fall, Winter) and our house can hold 40 people. And all proceeds collected at the door go to the performer.”

They may be reached at info@treehouseconcerts.org and for an invitation contact www.Evite.com
