On Friday, May 30, Fiddlers Crossing will present popular satirist Roy Zimmerman in his third appearance in Tehachapi.

As a satirist in the vein of Tom Lehrer, but with a decidedly more political point of view, his "funny songs about ignorance, war and greed" skewer our major politicians and celebrities, as...

The "big dream" for many singer-songwriters is to have their music used in film or TV scores. For Ernest Troost, it was the other way around. Troost became an Emmy Award-winning composer of movie and TV scores first, and only recently became an award-winning folk-blues songwriter, as well. "Songwriting was something I had put in the trunk and sat on for 20 years because it was an impractical thing to do," he said. "I hadn't done it since high school." Ernest Troost will perform at Fiddlers...

What if Mick Jagger and Keith Richards had hailed from California instead of Britain?

Like many of our Americana "roots" music genres, the blues has morphed many times and in many ways from its acoustic origins in the deltas and cotton fields of the steamy south to the electric rock and roll dance halls, clubs and bars in the rest of the country. It has spawned jazz, soul, R&B, rock and country music. Blues itself has become standardized, fitting nicely into eight bars or 12 bars in minor keys with a set pattern to the lyrics and chord structure, and most always a sense of...

In its nearly four years as a venue, Fiddlers Crossing has been introducing Tehachapi to a wide variety of acoustic musicians. Some are well-established favorites in blues, Celtic, bluegrass, folk and Americana. Some are bright young stars-to-be.

Listening to her old-school country songs and honest back porch voice has been likened to putting an archival...
