The Chris Wenger Trio : "Chico-based guitarist Chris Wenger has gone through a steady transition from rock to classical, to jazz. He is frequently found performing in the Chico area with his own group, but also with singer Holly Taylor, saxophonist Mark Bloom and other bands. For this show Chris played with his trio, which features Shigemi Minetaka on piano and Christine Lapado on bass." From an interview on http://anewscafe.com/ by Dave Short, founder of Jazz at Old City Hall. A little bit about Chris: "I was exposed to performance by listening to my father play folk and bluegrass music. I got into rock guitar playing at a young age and even worked as a semipro rock guitarist for a while. I became interested in music theory and studied classical guitar in college. I still play classical, rock, and even country music, but jazz became a huge interest — partly because there is such a fine jazz community in Chico. I studied with Charlie Robinson, who, as you probably know, is a legendary jazz guitarist in Chico. Now I teach music at Butte College, which is very supportive of music education and has a fine new facility, and I also teach local private students."

Eric Arellano and Band : Eric Arellano has performed all over the world, and recently added Redding to his repertoire of locations. "Eric's pursuit is to continuously develop as a musician and to be active in sharing the gift of music. His inspiration to make and perform music lies in the opportunity to tastefully combine tradition, creativity, innovation and originality." (text from: http://ericarellano.com/live/) Dave Short, the founder of Jazz at Old City Hall has this to say: "Eric has really grown as a performer in the past few years, and his time in Sweden at Gothenburg University has allowed a whole new side of his musical personality to develop. A great way to kick-off the 2010 season!"
