Pretty Boy & Soriana
Luther Hampton & Soriana

lifelong contributions to art
in Tennessee (sculpture).
Terry Saffold, Super Drummer
Soriana & Atoosie, a local artist who specializes in
portraits and caricatures - a regular on Beale Street.
While the rain came down on Saturday afternoon, August 30, 2003, the performers had to sit it out on several stages. But Soriana walked the covered area near the Trolley tracks and entertained until the skies cleared and the rain subsided. Acoustic music is durable and always available. Soriana met many talented musicians, artists, and patrons including those shown on this page. One artist (not pictured) who made a lasting impression was Johnny Bellar, who was performing with Roy Harper, but also promoting his own music. Below are some pictures from the second day of the festival, Sunday, August 31, 2003.
