“These are two very talented performers that I would recommend to anyone looking for some great family entertainment. A national treasure!”
8:30 pm River City Slim & the Zydeco Hogs
"The Zydeco Hogs cook up a spicy musical gumbo that combines the traditional sounds of the button accordion and washboard with a driving, syncopated beat. The Hogs turn every venue they play into a rockin' Louisiana dance party!"

Noon Waldo & Woodhead-Masters of Mayhem
“Frantic, frenzied, frenetic, funny, fantastic-- these are just a few words that describe the madcap Waldo Woodhead Show."

" As hard to classify as it is to praise highly enough...an intoxicating blend of roots music styles, with deep traditional roots and a healthy futuristic outlook. Strongly recommended.” - The Rogue Folk Review,Vancouver, BC

“Come highstepping with Sheesham and Lotus!. Old-time rhythms that will blow the mind and hypnotize! ”
8:30 pm The Sweetback Sisters
"Like a pair of luxurious soft cashmere socks for your ears, the silky vocal harmonies of Emily Miller and Zara Bode are a decadent treat...Think "Indigo Girls Meet Sweethearts of the Rodeo and Get Possessed by the Ghost of Patsy Cline While Riding Shot Gun with Bob Wills in a 1939 Ford Pickup," or even "Dale Evans With Attitude and Swagger"
Thursday 7/12/12
Noon Sheesham & Lotus
"Fantastic musicians that that keep you breathless with laughter"
7:00 pm Will Patton Ensemble
"Their repertoire, featuring fiery Brazilian sambas and folk waltzes, gentle choros and hot Gypsy jazz, takes you on a musical journey from a Parisian bistro to a plaza in the heart of Rio, and back home again to your front porch."
8:30 pm Sprag Session
"Lingering somewhere amidst the rich, soulful roots of traditional Cape Breton music and the grooves of a thousand branches of rock and funk. Far from the awkward malaise of mohawked bagpipers and kilted punks, the Sprag Session has created a kind of Celtic fusion that is as much Béla Fleck and the Flecktones and Frank Zappa as it is Ashley MacIsaac.
Friday 7/13/12
Noon Magician Tom Verner
"I like to think that the magic brings not only laughter and surprise, but on some deeper level perhaps, magic plants seeds of hope."
7:00 pm We're About 9
With a sound that colorfully blends acoustic guitar backed harmonies with pop, blues, and coffeehouse rock, this trio from Baltimore delivers a positively enthralling performance."
8:30 pm The Grift
"stunning, energetic live performance that encompasses elements of hook laden jam rock, classic, wrinkle your nose funk, and clever, singer songwriter sensibilities"
