"Coone Bottom Creek" is a local bluegrass band from Wakulla and Leon County. The core of the group started to play together sometimes in 2003 after Billy Samford, on the 5-string banjo, Red "Cornbred" Barns on vocals and guitar, and the Austrian vocal couple Maria and Mischa Steurer, on the upright base and mandolin, respectively, discovered the kick of making traditional and sometimes more progressive bluegrass songs sound quite nice in our living room. Meanwhile, after sticking together over the years, they were joined by Daryl Langston on vocals and guitar and the "youngster", Adam Straubinger, also with some great vocals but up and foremost on his fantastic fiddle. With six folks in the band now the occasionally on-stage performance becomes an interesting logistical challenge. However, the great feedback they receive form the audience every time they play somewhere is just too much of a treat. While most songs and instrumentals we play are not originals, recently Billy and Adam have started to become real creative with their own compositions. Listen closely and you might catch one or the other at the next occasion. We hope you'll meet our band soon and can enjoy our music with us.

The keyboards utilize a variety of sounds, especially Steel Drums, and many other percussive sounds, evoking a rhythmic caribbean feel. Yazid writes most of the songs, using the keyboards to perform all kinds of latin, salsa, reggae, funky music.
Besides playing the keyboards, he being an expert conga drum player, uses three other drummer/percussionists to propel the beat.

She's performed for crowds ranging from 5000 to 5 people and performed on stages, flat bed trailers, and on the plain old ground. Second only to performing on stage is Caitlin's love for songwriting. Caitlin co-write 4 of the 10 songs that are on her debut CD "Country Girl"

 

 

The Mountain Dew Cloggers are a family oriented group comprised of people of all ages from the Tallahassee area.

Clogging gives you the opportunity to get out and enjoy a great social activity and get fit at the same time. Your legs will tone up very quickly. Clogging improves flexibility, coordination, endurance and strength. It increases lung capacity, relieves stress, and it's aerobic and burns fat. Clogging is usually danced in lines because there is a better social group feeling when you can see that your new friends are dancing the same routines as you. Some couple and partner routines are taught to keep in touch with the historic Appalachian clogging styles.

Adding to the talent pool will be Brett Kelly, a singer songwriter from Monticello who performs solo, with his band 19 South, and with his acoustic group The Rusty Nail Company. Brett performs at the Tallahassee Parrothead meetings (the Monticello Phlock) at his restaurant Brick House Eatery in Monticello as well as playing in Tallahassee and South Georgia. Brett is currently working on his first CD, a compilation of his songs with the help of Rick Ott and From the Heart Studio.
