Main Stage:
Frankie Boots & The County Line: (7:30PM - 9:00PM)
Frankie Boots And The County Line are a folk rock/Americana band roaring out of
the San Francisco Bay Area with a penchant for painting vivid images of late
nights, lost love, and the grittier side of life. Towards the end of the last decade Frank
gave up a promising career in the illustrious world of bartending to pursue a
life of even longer nights and shorter tempers in the music industry. The cosmos, in their infinite wisdom, soon
sent him The County Line and their visceral sound sprung from a primordial soup
of horns, pedal steel guitar, banjo, mandolin, keys, guitars, bass, and
drums. Whether it be country, rock,
blues, gospel, bluegrass, or any other true form of great American music, the
band throws it all into the recipe for a dish that's always served hot.
Free Peoples: (5:45PM - 7:00PM) Free Peoples have quietly
become one of the Best Americana / Roots Music bands in the Bay Area. Fine
harmonies, blues, jazz and rock elements all combine into a cohesive and
musically impressive soul. Their new CD,
"Sitting on a Goldmine" is another tight, focused work with
impeccable musicianship and excellence.
The Dixie Giants: (4:00PM - 5:15PM) The Dixie Giants have
shared the stage with such acts as Bonnie Raitt, Rebirth Brass Band, The Wood
Brothers, Charlie Musselwhite, New Orleans Suspects, Tuba Skinny, The Brothers
Comatose, Glen David Andrews, and many more. The Dixie Giants are infamous for
radiating an infectious energy and always having a blast. While playing the
music of their heroes (Louis Armstrong & The All Stars, Preservation Hall
Jazz Band, Thelonious Monk, Jackson 5), they have also been writing original
music in an effort to continue to evolve the idiom of Traditional New Orleans
Jazz.
The Next of Kin: (2:15 PM - 3:30PM) From Delta blues to
rootsy folk, Next of Kin offers top notch Americana music for your listening
pleasure. The Next of Kin's original songs bring you to your feet for a
stomping' good time; Even though there are only two members, this duo packs in
all types of instruments, such as, banjo, dobro and foot percussion giving you
a taste of music from the olden days with a modern flare.

Sonoma County musical talent. Lead by
soulful drummer/singer Tim Qualls, formerly of Blue Shift will be playing top
hits from every era - Stevie Wonder to Sublime, the Jackson 5 and The Police
