  • Friday | Infamous Stringdusters w/s/g Driftwood | 5:15 PM

  • Saturday | Little River Band | 2:15 PM

  • Sunday | Punch Brothers | 5:15 PM

To celebrate 20 years since their inception, the ground-breaking, Grammy Award-winning ensemble The Infamous Stringdusters—whose tone and swagger meld acoustic majesty with the energy of a full-blown rock show—mark this milestone with the release of 20/20.

Little River Band garnered huge chart success with multi-platinum albums and chart-topping hits in the 70’s and 80’s. LRB continues to deliver distinctive harmonies and vocal abilities under the direction of 46 year LRB veteran, lead vocalist and bass player Wayne Nelson. Fans nostalgic for such tunes as “Reminiscing” or “Lady” can join us to hear the current incarnation for a night of fantastic music, memories and more.

Known for pushing the boundaries of acoustic music, Punch Brothers has garnered critical acclaim, including a Grammy for Best Folk Album for All Ashore (2018). The Washington Post applauded them for taking “bluegrass to its next evolutionary stage, drawing equal inspiration from the brain and the heart.”
