Headlining Saturday, or Rock Fest Day is Robert Randolph & The Family Band. This part blues, part gospel and all rock band has been described as “an American original” and the “Jimi Hendrix of the pedal steel.” Paranoid Social Club will also take the open field stage, presenting their Maine-base, punk-pop live show that has catapulted them to cult status. Other artists include NRBQ, and Wild Adriatic.

Country Sunday will feature New Riders of the Purple Sage; a spin-off from the Grateful Dead, however successful in their own right, they are the “cowboys of country rock.” A two-time Grammy Nominee and praised as a creative force in acoustic music, Claire Lynch Band will push the boundaries of the bluegrass genre. Also included are country-blues band, Rosco Bandana and “honkey-tonk heroes,” the Stony Creek Band. More acts to be announced.
