John BolduanOne of St. Louis' own, John plays a unique style that reflects his
many influences. He grew up listening to techno, hip-hop, jazz and frequenting
Focal Point shows where the seeds of passion for folk music were sown.
He was classically trained and started writing at a young age when he
began to find unique style as a singer songwriter, writing songs that
dealt with personal and social issues. He currently resides in Bilbao,
Spain where he shifts between folk, rock and samba in a number of active
musical projects.

The Lost & Nameless OrchestraThe Lost & Nameless Orchestra is a five-piece fiddle-driven folk rock group from Austin, Texas, containing members with Saint Louis roots. Singer Patrick Conway was a staple on the St. Louis music scene back in the old Cicero's basement bar days in the early 90s, sharing the stage with all the names that rose from that scene, and fiddler Chris E. Peterson spent time at Wash U., contributing as a member of the band Wagon (and presently in Half Knots). With a 15-year off-and-on history playing together and an endless number of tours under their belts as a duo, including Europe, Chris and Patrick have settled in Austin, Texas, and have formed an insanely great live band with Nathan Quiring (accordion and keyboards) and Kimberly Zielnicki (bass, fiddle, and vocals). Chris Carroll has recently joined them on percussion. Blending contemporary folk with rockin' guitars and traditional fiddle
music, The Lost & Nameless Orchestra has become a local favorite
in Austin with a dedicated listening crowd as well as a scene that likes
to get up and dance to fiddle music. With a mission to not only move
spirits, but bodies and feet too, this combo is energetic and delivers
every time.
