I saw her last year at the Hot August Festival - she was shredding with her white Gibson SG. Very Good. She is playing soon here in DC but I think it's indoors. I'm not sure if I'm ready for that yet.
Saw this guy open for The Waterboys at The Egg a few years ago. Did a really nice show. The Egg is a pretty cool venue. If you haven't taken in a show there, it's worth the effort.
