The lineup of musicians is arranged by Ken Millet, owner of the well-renown Night Eagle Café in Oxford. The caliber of performers at this year’s Colorscape is truly impressive, and you get to see them all for free.

Patty Larkin is a guitar focused singer-songwriter who has immersed herself in a musical world that knows no borders. Her most recent solo release, Red=Luck, showcases a world where the ancient strains of modal folk meet brooding ambient noise. It is a world where Middle-Eastern flavored melodies collide with R&B, where joyous pop and somber reflection, playful eroticism and naked soul searching entwine.

Professor “Louie” & The Crowmatix from Woodstock, NY, are known for their great live shows, songwriting, singing, and jamming. They have been touring and recording nationally for the past four years. They have performed at premier clubs including B.B. Kings & The Bottom Line in New York City, The House of Blues in Los Angeles, The Towne Crier and The Turning Point, NY, and Fitzgeralds in Chicago just to name a few.

The Dust Poets are a five-piece acoustic folk-pop group with roots deep in the Canadian prairie. The band pokes affectionate fun at themselves and the world around them while spreading their own irreverent brand of small town angst. The Dust Poets have performed extensively across Canada and are well known for their infectious spirit, powerful stage presence, genre-bending originals, hot instrumental chops, and juicy harmony singing.
