Alfredo Muro has been described as a Latin guitar virtuoso, but his musical styles and tastes are far more versatile, ranging from standing classical repertoire to jazz. His forte is South American music in its many guises: folk, jazz, Brazilian, classical. Whatever the style, it's the emotional content of his music that carries the day.

Based out of Fort Collins, CO with roots in Memphis, TN and Dominican Republic. Bevin Luna’s guitar- and gut-driven songs package sly intelligence inside a rough-and-rugged sound.

Playing various configurations including fronting a four-piece band that combines heavy riffs, punk rhythms, blues accents, and grunge-inspired arrangements with hints of country and folk, she concocts a versatile style she calls “rock and roots.”

Her tough yet soul-searching sensibility “straddles the line between insightful songwriting and full-blown rock and roll in the grand tradition of The Pretenders” (Salt Magazine), while her deep, honey voice evokes the heady tones of Grace Slick and articulations of Patti Smith.

Rick Lobato (Guitar, vocals) and Chuck Leddes (steel guitar) return to the Kabaret.

"Growing up in an urban environment looking west to the Rocky Mountains, Denver based producer and vocalist Fi Sullivan emerges from augmented and experimental realms, as well as her natural surroundings.  Her sound is layered vocals traveling a three octave range mapping subtle bass and pulsing beats - the sweet surreal inspired by the natural world."
