| Brothers Lazaroff Read It in the News L N Day and Night self-released 2015 All the songs today are from albums released in 2015 which I enjoyed, but none of these songs were played on the show before. This St. Louis outfit definitely deserves more play in 2016.

| Martin Carthy I'm Champion At Keeping 'Em Rolling N Joy of Living: A Tribute to Ewan MacColl Compass 2015 I bet I've seen Carthy close to 20 times - he's a breathtaking guitar player, a terrific singer, and a hoot on stage.
