Artist Website:www.poconut.org | www.pureprairieleague.com Why They're Worth Watching:POCO After rising in 1968 from the ashes of the Buffalo Springfield, Poco began infusing the L.A. folk/rock sound with their deep-rooted lyricism and the instrumentation of country music, a revelation and inspiration for the Eagles, Linda Ronstadt, Jackson Browne, and other future headliners. PURE PRAIRIE LEAGUE is an American country-rock band whose roots began between 1964 and 1969 in Waverly, Ohio with Craig Fuller, Tom McGrail, Jim Caughlan and John David Call. The band's name was chosen in 1970 by McGrail after a 19th century temperance union mentioned in the 1939 film Dodge City. The band has had a long run, active from the 1970s through to the late 1980s and was reborn in the late 90s and again in the mid 2000s. Their biggest hit was “Amie” an iconic country rock song about an on and off again relationship. For Fans Of: Eagles, Little Feat, Firefall

Eric performs aggressively soulful, self-penned compositions plus searing renditions of several obscure treasures from the back catalogues of classic blues artists. When Eurhythmics founder Dave Stewart first witnessed Joanne Shaw Taylor at the the age of 16, he thought her Telecaster skills were so perfect, he asked her to join his super-group D.U.P. to tour Europe.

The Verve Pipe "An Acoustic Evening" w. Seth Glier Monday, February 22 8pm $22.50
Artist's Website: The Verve Pipe MySpace | Seth's MySpace Why They're Worth Watching: In the Darwinian egosystem of rock ‘n' roll, survival depends on musical instincts, and they don't come any keener than those of The Verve Pipe.

Some observers have had trouble categorizing The Verve Pipe's music, mostly because the band itself has steadfastly refused to be pinned down. However, fans have long understood what The Verve Pipe is all about: great songs performed from the heart. For Fans Of: Better Than Ezra, Collective Soul, Stone Temple Pilots
Howie Day
w. Serena Ryder Tuesday, February 23 8pm $20

He later expanded that sound to include electric instruments, strings, and a full backing band, a move that resulted in such pop/rock hits as "Collide" and "She Says." For Fans Of: Matt Nathanson, Shawn Mullins, Martin Sexton
