Local musicians and groups
- Jonathon Best
- local outragous musician Jonathan Best brings all of his various musical talents to the stage, creating music with the audience. With the aid of a looper, he records and layers, live on stage, rhythmic sounds made with such instruments as bicycle forks, a transistor radio, tooth brushes, hedge clippers and his cheeks. He then brings the audience and even the hall itself into the mix, adding seven part contrapuntal vocal harmonies and his inimitable piano playing, covering every style from barrelhouse blues to salsa, all this done by one guy and an audience.
