Performers include: Kathy Boyd & Phoenix Rising (folk/original roots bluegrass) on Friday evening at 4pm (pictured here). Tony Graham (with his special brand of acoustic muse of Pop/Rock/Folk at its very best); Wayne Richards and Southern Nights (Americana with a special twist); Sky In The Road, a trio that blends Traditional Folk, Bluegrass, Pop, Rock, Blues and a whole lot more with a beautiful World Beat; the Alt Country of the singer-songwriter John Twist, with his special blend “Acoustic Folk with the bushwhacking spirit of America’s backroads”; Heartstrings, a duo armed with a dulcimer and standup bass that captures Folk and Pioneer spirit through the enchantment of their music; and the captivating musician Cyndi Hubb, featuring her music that has been thoughtfully described as “the elusive echo of a solo flutist”. And, of course, there will be other entertainers who will be onhand to demonstrate their talents.
Don’t miss the “World’s Record-Breaking Watermelon Launch” (Saturday afternoon), where catapults and other specially-designed launchers for watermelons and more into the atmosphere.
