Plenty of amplified and rocking music - take your pick

Tater, Audioform, Dorian Gris, Ned Lucas Band, No Alibi, David Childers and the Modern Don Juans, Dom Casual, The Carpenter Ants, even Calvin Edwards, Robin Rogers (blues), and Two Dollar Pistols (honky-tonk country) will be here for you if you like to hear it turned up a little bit.

Sure, the festival will have its singer songwriter, old-time, bluegrass and "Gypsy jazz" featuring the best acoustic leaning sounds, but we haven't left out rock, jam, jazz or blues, either. So if your tastes turn to the funkier, the louder, the feel-it-in-your-body type grooves, just check us out on October 20th (and 19th) and you'll find something to move to. Whether it's on the uptown outdoor stage or in one of the intimate venues (the largest indoor stage holds 225) there will be a huge variety of sounds and moods.

Just a couple of notes on these bands. Tater has a hot new CD and sound better than ever; Ned Lucas Band features a blues trio sound with Ned back and forth on Hammond Organ and guitars; Calvin Edwards has that urban blues thing going on. All three of these we're proud to say are local, as is Modern Don Juan guitarist Randy Saxon. Childers is from Mount Holly. No Alibi is based over in Boiling Springs.
