John Bolduan

One 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 Orchestra

The 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.
$10.
