We are very excited to celebrate our 10th year bringing top-level talent from local, regional, and national acts. This year's headliner will be Della Mae a GRAMMY nominated all-women string band.

They have traveled to over 30 countries spreading peace and understanding through music. On the main stage will also be Buffalo Rose, Cold Chocolate, and the Tenderbellies. Award-winning artist Buffalo Rose hails from Pittsburgh, PA with a modern folk and Americana sound. This charismatic band weaves spiraling harmonies with gorgeously layered instrumentation. Cold Chocolate from Boston is a genre-bending band that fuses folk, funk, and bluegrass to create a unique sound of their own. The Tenderbellies are a Vermont-based string band that seamlessly blends Americana, bluegrass, new grass, jazz and rock.
