Here are more snapshots of recent performances, taken as we find an opportunity. These smaller shots link to denser, uncropped originals.

The local Cajun band Sauce Piquante led off our SF Free Folk Festival Preview on July 6. Sauce Piquante members are Jim Ruth, Blair Kirkpatrick, Steve Tabak, and Kathy Price.

The duo of maritime singers Peter Kasin and Richard Adrianowicz followed.

The partly Neil Young tribute band Sugar Mountain closed out our preview. They are Paul Kotapish, Joe Cadora, and Bethany Sorkey.

Erica and Friends (or as it happened, Friends of Erica, in Erica Hockett’s absence) led off our On-Air Folk Festival for the year on June 22. The Friends are, from left to right, Charlie Hancock, Jason Courtney, Tom Lindemuth, Chris Hammond, and Anne Bingham Goess.

Diana Gameros, local singer with Mexican roots, came next.

Diana was joined by noted songwriter and novelist Ben Arthur.

The duo Kaptain Bottletop, David Boyden and Lee Corbie-Wells, joined by Nickolay Georgiev, closed our part of the festival with a collection of Scandinavian tunes.

Paul Kamm and Eleanore MacDonald of Nevada City made their long-awaited return to our air on April 6.
