Sweet Tidings

Sweet Tidings Gospel Jam presents hymns and traditional gospel music with emphasis on Americana roots gospel done jam-style. Fans describe Sweet Tidings as “happy, joyful, charming, new and fresh.” When they played in 2014, due to some technical difficulties, the band decided to come off the main stage and play on the grassy lawn to the delight of the Summergrass fans. Their show was electric, and the crowd loved them!

MohaviSoul

Contemporary Bluegrass-Americana from our soul, rooted in Folk & Country as reflected in our original music & choice of covers, coming from Mark’s West Virginia roots and Randy’s 5th-generation California heritage. They’re a 5-piece award-winning working band formed in 2012 by singer-songwriters Mark Miller and Randy Hanson. Their 3rd CD of original songs are the essence of new and fresh story telling in music with stories of love gone right to gone wrong, nostalgia for vinyl records, plus songs about the road, drinking, homesickness, politics, and the wild West. Prescription Bluegrass wrote “with their soulful style, MohaviSoul achieves a certain identifiable likeability that is hard to find” about their first CD, Every Second. The second CD, Blue Diesel, was Best Bluegrass EP by The Akademia. Hometown Blues & Stories and Memories CDs get airplay with several charted songs nationally, NPR interviews. San Diego Troubadour said “MohaviSoul’s music is swiftly seductive, full of foot tapping, shoulder moving tempos, simple music accomplishing profound emotional effects. Hometown Blues is a genuinely moving contribution to the new roots music.”
