Cattle Ax
CattleAx are McCall Idaho's ambassadors to the glory days of Honky-Tonk music. Led by Sean Tracey on guitar, harmonica and vocals, the band is rounded out by Elise Giddings playing fiddle as well as Doug Ratkovich and Jayson McGinnis holding down the rhythm on upright bass and drums respectively. CattleAx provides a conduit to classic and obscure country covers as well as songs written by Sean in the Honky-Tonk groove.
Braid
From McCall, Braid is a home-grown, acoustic band, consisting of Mark Stoeckl on clawhammer banjo and melodica, Barb Pyle on guitar and mandolin, Karla Miller on fiddle, Bill Cleaves on guitar, Pete Pride on mandolin, and Izzy Olson on bass. Like strands of a rope, they weave together harmonies with elements of bluegrass, americana, country and traditional fiddlin' to craft their sound.
Open Range
Open Range has been playing in and around McCall for more than 10 years. Annie Nies on mandolin, Irwin Mulnick on guitar and Jeff Box on bass play a variety of genres and musical styles from Gillian Welch to Neal Young and Frank Sinatra. Their sound has evolved over the years to incorporate vocal harmonies, instrumental solos and some unusual song choices to produce a mix of harmonious and uplifting entertainment. There’s something fresh and familiar, engaging, and often startling for everyone with this trio.
Johnny Costa
Acoustic Roots music. Johnny's blend of Americana with bluesy SoCal and hip-hop undertones is sure to keep you feeling the summer vibes all night. Johnny has played in bands since the 7th grade spanning classic rock, live hip-hop, bluegrass and jazz. His solo guitar singer songwriter style blends in and out of eclectic covers making sure each show is a one of a kind experience.
Louise Gilbert
singer/songwriter/bass player
Louise performed for many years as the bass player and singer for "Hurricane." She is performing this year at Locals' Night with the help of Ed Didisse, one of the most rock steady musicians in Valley County and thereabouts. You can often find him playing bass with his band, "Dusty Huckleberries." For this venue, he is on guitar and vocals. Don't miss his slide guitar. You will be hearing mostly original tunes by Louise, Ed and Lance Hansen. A little blues, a little rock, a little country...sit back and enjoy.
