Considered one of the true treasures of American acoustic guitar music, Reid is truly a giant of the steel strings.

Friday, July 12: PermaGrin
Classic rockers witha funky touch.

July 16: The Ameros
A rock, reggae, hip hop and funk powerhouse that combines thought-provoking lyrics, incendiary guitar, party vibes and revolutionary spirit.

July 23: The Maybelles
This all-female band is a beautiful blend of old-timey folk and alt-country.

July 30: Izzy & the Catastrophics
Rockabilly for the 21st century.

The veteran duo of Rex Fowler and Neal Shulman are in their fifth decade of presenting contemporary folk-pop. Including a trib ute to Simon & Garfunkel.

It’s all about the blues. Sugar Ray’s voice combines the roadhouse grit of Muddy Waters with a lonesome desperation all his own.
