Music Line Up
Junction Park Stage:
Beer Wine & Turpentine 1-2pm
​
​
Beer Wine & Turpentine rose from the ashes of the Boulder Creek Brewery, where
they and fellow musicians lit up Sunday nights with high-energy jams until the beloved venue untimely fiery demise. Carrying that spirit
forward, this powerhouse of multi-instrumentalists
(Dave Kaufman, Jeff Hayes and Mark Becker) has carved
out their ownsound – Zepgrass – a wild fusion of gritty
songwriting, soaring vocals, and intricate guitar work.
They shift seamlessly between hard-driving originals
and unexpected reimagining's of classic tunes, keeping
audiences hooked with arrangements that surprise and
performances that ignite – a live experience that feels both
timeless and electric.
Lloyd Whitley Blues Band 2:30-3:30pm
Lloyd Whitley was born in rural Baton Rouge, Louisiana in 1942. As a child, his first instrument was the harmonica. Having had the opportunity to see blues legends like Lightnin' Hopkins and Slim Harpo from the kitchen area of his families clubs, he picked up his brother's guitar and he was off to the races, developing his own self taught, finger style of playing that few can match! Lloyd is joined by seasoned local bassist Michael Curry and blues drummer Gerry Woodling and they have been entertaining blues audiences for over 10 years.
Kentucky Mule 4-5pm
Kentucky Mule started out as a project for singer/songwriter Coleton Tidwell to mash together varied music influences. Shortly after deciding on a moniker, Tidwell met guitarist Scott Willis who also shared a vision for creating music that was a little bit outlaw country, a bit Americana, but also a little bit subversive and strange. Bassist Will Iermini joined shortly thereafter bringing along harmonies, melodies and a love for all things groovy and psychedelic. Wisconsin born fiddle player Lizzy Smith joined the fun bringing a rustic authenticity to the group that only she can deliver (with three part harmonies to boot). The collective total is a collage of train beats, introspective ballads, and funky dance numbers that show the true range of what “Americana” can mean.
