Their singular sound features upbeat grooves, inspirational lyrics, memorable hooks, superb musicianship and an overwhelming sense of celebration. They’re an American institution – socially conscious yet eternally danceable.

Nashville-based singer-songwriter Todd Snider is one of the sharpest and funniest storytellers ever to espouse folkloric tales and meditations on contemporary culture. Big-hearted and hilarious, the perpetually barefoot misfit's wrenchingly insightful lyrics and Americana/alt-country/folk sound are at once pin-sharp and ragged, ramshackle and sophisticated, mixing sharp character portraits with brilliant bouts of philosophy. As champion of the hapless Everyman, you'll often find him heading up his new band Hard Working Americans, and his Shakori Hills show finds him backed by longtime comrades and premier boogie rock masters Great American Taxi.
Amy Helm is an American singer-songwriter who played in the celebrated alt-country collective Ollabelle and alongside her renowned dad in the Levon Helm Band. Blessed with an organically soulful and expressive voice full of heartfelt gospel urgency, she draws upon a deep well of American musical traditions for her emotionally resonant and spellbinding explorations.
Fusing elements of Afrobeat, dub, spacey jazz and psychedelic funk, the 10-piece ensemble aptly called Big Mean Sound Machine brings together the musical languages of West Africa, Latin America, the Caribbean and North America to create a lush bed of rhythm and harmony.

Crafting a powerful signature sound of arena-sized rock grooves, dirty funk and dance rhythms layered with lush electronic embellishments and soulfully triumphant vocals, BIG Something’s sound is driven by relentless jams, excellent musicianship and a spirit of fun. With humorous and pointed lyrics, strong hooks and a sense of flair, these Burlington, NC natives combine guitar, synth and saxophone into rich rock ’n’roll grooves dripping with soul, jazz and fusion flavors.

The Rochester, NY-based crew delivers air-tight dub, roots reggae revelry and Afrobeat affirmations, flavoring their positive message with upbeat energy and meaningful lyrics.
The Blind Spots are a five-piece “moxy rock” band from Ithaca, NY featuring electrifying lead singer and magnetic force of nature Maddy Walsh. Rich with imagery and metaphor, her powerhouse lead vocals leap over bold and inventive electric guitars and an eclectic library of vintage keyboard sounds to create a tight, raucous and uplifting sound.
Dr. Bacon is a genre-defying Appalachian soul-grass band from Boone playing an infectiously danceable blend of energetic rock ‘n’ roll. Their sound is a rollicking amalgam of bluegrass, soul, funk, hip hop, blues, jazz, folk and more, with traditional bluegrass instrumentation bolstered by harmonicas, horns, jaw-harps and kazoos. Their unique and multicultural sound is a joyous shout from the mountaintops.
In a post-modern world of skyscrapers and handheld computers, Driftwood looks beneath the concrete and circuitry to find their sound. Based in Binghamton, NY, their unique blend of old-time folk with modern and world music features blazing fiddle action, boundaryless banjo, booming upright bass and gleeful guitar alongside a scrap wood kick box, clapping hands and stomping feet.
Holy Ghost Tent Revival’s rhythmic riot features throttling acoustic guitars and horn rave-ups, conjuring a ragtag New Orleans street corner band scouting out the land of indie rock. Bursting out of Greensboro, they offer up tightly crafted gems with timeless melodies, great harmonies and an organic rush of joyful energy. Like a jug band in a jazz dancehall, their Dixieland hilarity and rock sensibilities add up to pure and wonderful dance music.
Singer-songwriter Jim Lauderdale is a Nashville treasure who helped lay out the blueprint for the Americana movement of the ’90s. After finding success as one of Nashville’s most successful songwriters, he began earning high critical marks for an eclectic series of his own albums that spanned hard country, slick pop, rootsy rock ‘n’ roll, blues, folk, R&B and bluegrass, including collaborations with Ralph Stanley, Robert Hunter and Donna the Buffalo.
Preston Frank
Dance, Zydeco
Accordionist Preston Frank has been laying down his blazing bayou boogie and fearless yet traditional Louisiana zydeco for decades. His trademark swamp groove is a combination of Cajun, funk and soul, cooking up a smooth and flowing Creole sound that instantly makes you start to move. The jumping rhythms and festive vibes rest in his hands while his fingers work magic on the diatonic accordion. Firmly planted in his musical roots for fifty years, Preston Frank remains an important force in preserving traditional zydeco and Creole French music.
Sarah Shook & The Disarmers is a hardcore country band from Pittsboro with a wild, reckless energy and songs that threaten to burst apart from emotional pressure. Twangy, aching and true, she’s an angelic and gritty singer with bruises and scars on display.
Travers Brothership is a wild and intense alternative soul funk ensemble from Asheville that's positively overflowing with joyous energy. Founded by twin brothers Kyle and Eric Travers, their epic concerts are thrilling throwdowns with perfectly blended vocals soaring above groovy beds of heartfelt rock and blues.
