The son of an English professor and an opera singer, Ned Evett is one of the world’s foremost fretless guitarists, creating music that both celebrates and transcends the novelty of his instrument. He is also an accomplished visual artist, animator, and author.
Evett began playing fretless guitar in 1990 on a modified Stratocaster that he built from various parts, including a basswood body from Luthier John Bolin. He first appeared in print in Fingerstyle magazine’s ‘Bizarre Guitars’ profile, who stated “Ned Evett will make you reconsider the plucked-string instrument”.
Evett developed the use of glass fingerboards for fretless guitar in 1996. In 1996, Evett played the fretless glass-necked guitar with Warner Brothers Recording artists Built to Spill, on their album, The Normal Years.
In 2003, Evett won the North American Rock Guitar Competition and, in 2004, PBS Television broadcast a documentary about the competition titled Driven To Play.The competition launched a series of high-profile opening concert performances for Evett with notable musicians, including Joe Satriani, the Allman Brothers, John Fogerty, George Thorogood, Eric Johnson, Kansas, and Leon Russell.
Evett has released over 12 albums. He lives in Los Angeles.

Lacy J Dalton Christmas Show
2026-12-09 19:00 - 21:00
Lacy will be returning with Dale Poune for a special December show . Count on a wonderful performance featuring her fabulous original songs with a set of fun Christmas songs mixed in. Be ready to sing along if the spirit finds you.
Lacy J. Dalton is a Grammy nominated singer/songwriter from Bloomsburg, Pennsylvania. She’s one of the most instantly recognizable voices in music – the woman People Magazine called “Country’s Bonnie Raitt.” She was awarded “Top New Female Vocalist of the Year” in 1979 by the Academy of Country Music, and quickly rose to national prominence with her hit single “Crazy Blue Eyes,” a song that raced to #7 on the Billboard Country Charts. Lacy’s collaboration with Willie Nelson on his Half Nelson CD was a high spot for her. Lacy was the only woman featured on that recording (which included singing legends Ray Charles, Neil Diamond, Merle Haggard, Julio Iglesias, George Jones, Leon Russell, Carlos Santana, Mel Tillis, Hank Williams Sr., and Neil Young), and was awarded a Platinum Record for it. She also received a Gold Record from Hank Williams Jr. in 1985 for her support performances throughout his Five-0 Tour. She quickly became one of the few women who could successfully share the stage with the likes of Hank Williams Jr., Willie Nelson, George Jones, Glen Campbell, Merle Haggard and Charlie Daniels. Her Hit records are legendary million-airplay cuts: “Hard Times,” “Crazy Blue Eyes,” “Hillbilly Girl with the Blues.” “Takin’ it Easy,” “Everybody Makes Mistakes,” the worldwide hit “Black Coffee,” and her signature song “16th Avenue,” the anthem for Nashville songwriters voted one of Country’s Top 100 songs ever by Billboard Magazine. Her career includes accomplishments in music, film and radio. As an independent artist with her own label called Song Dog Records, Lacy has released three albums, “Wild Horse Crossing” in 1999, a tribute to Hank Williams Sr. entitled “Here’s To Hank” in 2010, and her first Americana album “The Last Wild Place Anthology” in 2006.
