Soulrising will be at Divided Sky in Meyers on Jan. 16 at 10pm.

The Trespassers have been playing original, string band music together for five and a half years.

They will be at Divided Sky in Meyers on Jan. 29 at 10pm.

The band is most often described as a Bluegrass band, but the influence stems from many genres. Bronco Ben’s songwriting is gritty and gutsy.

Lavish Green will be at Divided Sky in Meyers on Jan. 15 at 10pm.

Living life and creating honest music for more than 14 years, Lavish Green continues to grind away and work hard to bring entertainment to a wide range of audiences. Whether it is on a huge stage fully blown, a high energy rock show or a more intimate unplugged setting, the band brings an original approach to finding places to sing and play our hearts and souls out.

Montana Slim String Band is an emerging newgrass string band from San Francisco.

They will be at Divided Sky in Meyers on Jan. 23 at 10pm.

Combining diverse musical backgrounds and influences, they have succeeded in creating a sound all their own. Built upon invigorating live performances, peppered with dueling melodic fiddle, mandolin and acoustic guitar improvisation, Montana Slim will have the dance floor swaying.

Passionate vocal harmonies, reflective lyrical tales, and solid foundational bass rhythms can all be found in Montana Slim’s original youthful interpretation of bluegrass.

Mark Williams, Lake Tahoe Community College music instructor, will be singing duets with some of the area’s best divas to raise money for a concert grand piano for the college’s music department. “It Takes Two: A Broadway Valentine” will be Feb. 6 at 8pm in the Duke Theatre.

Tickets will be a $20 donation.

“In trying to think of an idea for a fundraiser, I thought it might be fun to do an evening of duets with lots of my female friends with whom I have performed over the years,” Williams said. “I contacted 16 ladies from South Lake Tahoe, Gardnerville, Minden, Carson City, Reno, and Incline Village, the majority of whom have been my leading ladies in a show, or have performed leading roles in shows for which I have done the musical direction.”
