Michael G. Ronstadt has been captivating audiences throughout North America for nearly two decades. He last performed at the church with the Ronstadt Generations, and we are excited to have him back. Michael has appeared on more than 200 albums in the last 20 years. His versatile work has been tapped for studio and concert work by such artists as David Bromberg, Linda Ronstadt, Murial Anderson and Craig Bickhardt (SKB). He has opened up for artists like Ruthie Foster, Jorma Kaukonen (Hot Tuna, Jefferson Airplane), Steve Katz (Blood, Sweat & Tears), Ramblin’ Jack Elliott, Neil Young, Death Cab For Cutie, Smashing Pumpkins and Josh Groban.

Aislinn Landolt has been performing with her father for many years. She has a beautiful voice that can be heard on many of Craig's albums. We look forward to welcoming her back to the stage.

Tom Hampton, another veteran of this concert series, is a multi-instrumentalist, sideman, session musician and singer/songwriter. In April 2020, he joined the country-rock band Poco as guitarist and vocalist. Hampton's abilities on an array of instruments (guitar, lap steel, pedal steel guitar, dobro, banjo, mandolin) created a niche for him over the years as a first-call utility player for a number of notable artists - some of whom he tours and records with on a regular basis. Hampton frequently tours with Craig Bickhardt and Craig's band Idlewheel. He has also toured with Hooters guitarist John Lilley, Dan May, J.D. Malone, and Cosmic Americana band Boris Garcia, folksinger Tracy Grammer, Craig Fuller of Pure Prairie League and Little Feat, Paul Cotton of Poco. He has also backed and performed with Marshall Tucker Band, Pure Prairie League, Eric Andersen, Jonathan Edwards, Jim Photoglo, Vonda Sheppard, Don Henry, Julie Gold, Daryle Singletary and many others.
