DOUG ESTERLINE -
Born of a deep family tradition in music and stage performance that rings a note of the Carter-Cash saga, DOUG ESTERLINE embodies the classic roots of American Singer-Songwriter. Skilled in many stringed instruments DOUG is well known in Okinawa for the past 15 years for his superb musicianship. His ventures include anchoring many of the hottest local bands from CRY WOLF to Ad-Lib, to STEVIE ?n DOUG and finally FULL CIRCLE. Not-so-well known is DOUG ESTERLINE?s talent as a composer/songwriter. With his style rooted deep in the Folk and Acoustic Rock traditions of Americana, DOUG ESTERLINE is a perfect addition to the BotE Productions/ACOUSTIC LIVE lineup. Come see his next show.

KLUSO -
...formerly with the Tokyo based ChickMagnets, now a solo artist and producer-promoter...spotlights his style on bringing the audience a unique blend of adult oriented originals mixed with not-so-well-known covers of classic and current influences. KLUSO's current collection of originals covers a wide range of styles from AAA/Alternative, to Pop/Rock, and Americana/Alt-Country. In essence, KLUSO is a story teller. His lyrics take you on a humanistic view of our journey through life and poignantly dig deeper than what may be apparent at first listen.
KLUSO's solo debut CD - DELICATE EYE - released in August 2006. It is a collection of all original tunes backed by his band The ChickMagnets and other Tokyo artists. Visit KLUSO's homepage at www.klusot.com (or go to LINKS) and come see his next show.

BARBARA READ ?
Singing before she could even talk, BARBARA READ is the epitome of the American artist/song crafter. Her golden voice rings as clear as an Okinawa blue sky on a summer day. From an early start as a roots-based ?folk singer? and ?rocker? BARBARA READ?s artistry and repertoire has matured -- now incorporating the best of early American folk and pop, as well as contemporary acoustic selections. Already well known throughout Okinawa BARBARA has recently joined forces with the BotE Productions coop of ACOUSTIC LIVE artists. Often accompanied by other musicians, BARBARA READ?s live shows are a MUST SEE.
