Bo Ramsey: Photo by Danielle ClareBorn and raised in the blue-collar Mississippi River town of Burlington, Iowa in 1951, guitar-slinger Robert Franklin "Bo" Ramsey is perhaps best known for his collaboration/friendship with revered folksinger Greg Brown. Ramsey has played guitar on nine of Brown's discs, and produced/co-produced many of Brown's best known works. Tonight, Bo will be celebrating the April 8 release of his own new solo album, Fragile.

Bo has also produced records for Lucinda Williams, Joan Baez, Kevin Gordon, Dave Moore, Teddy Morgan, Pieta Brown and David Zollo. He has toured with Lucinda, and appeared with her on "The Late Show With David Letterman", "The Tonight Show" with Jay Leno, and "Late Night With Conan O'Brien." Other tube appearances include playing with Lucinda and Elvis Costello in the first segment of CMT's "Crossroads" series and again with Lucinda in award-winning German film director Wim Wenders' "Soul Of A Man" segment for Martin Scorsese's seven-part series on the blues for public television. Bo's distinctive, inimitable guitar sounds have graced the recorded works of artists such as Kate Campbell, Pete Seeger with Larry Long, Ani DiFranco, Iris De Ment, R.B. Morris, Mark Stuart, Brother Trucker, Joe Price and Jennifer Danielson.

Phil Heywood more than holds his own in the company of even the best guitarists on the planet, bringing a gentle, warm spirit and a flawlessly precise fingerstyle technique that he applies to classic tunes from Mississippi John Hurt, Joseph Spence, Leadbelly and his own originals.
