Lyle Lovett “12th of June”
-10 years since last album, original songs plus unique covers, his usual dose of understated southern humor

-heavy metal band from Mongolia, use traditional instruments and Tuvan throat singing where the singer is able to produce 2 or more notes at once, -sing exclusively in their native tongue
Mazel Tov Cocktail Party: “North Country Square Dance”
-Imagine a multi-racial, culturally diverse band consisting of a famous Klezmer clarinet player, an Iranian percussionist, a jazz bass player, a French-Canadian soul singer and rapper, an Arabic oudist guitarist, and 2 producers of electronic beats and samples, their mission to get the whole world dancing
