Saturday, June 16th:
The Halftime String Band

Now in their third year of playing together, the Halftime String Band continues to diversify their sound, developing original material and borrowing from a variety of musicians and styles.  Despite their bluegrass/newgrass foundation, they sometimes tend to leak and lapse into other musical directions just for fun.

Saturday, June 30th:
Keith, Joan & Jake Pitzer

"Bringing all the complexities of modern Appalachia to life with beauty and grace, excellent guitar work and delightfully woven vocals that can only come from knowing each other's souls."

-Shenandoah Coffeehouse

Also, Saturday, June 30th:
Weedhawks

Fusing modern themes with old time sounds, the Weedhawks are two of West Virginia’s most dynamic writers and performers. Their energetic live shows have made them a favorite of music fans of all ages.

Saturday, July 14th:
Bob Shank & Big Otter

Playing Appalachian music for more than 40 years; Bob’s influences range from old-time to Celtic, from bluegrass to blues. As a founding member of Hickory Wind, he toured the world and recorded for Flying Fish Records in the ’70s. Continuing to perform throughout the East, Bob is one of WV's most respected hammered dulcimer and banjo players.

Also, Saturday, July 14th:
The Woodticks

Old time from deep down where it counts. Sweet harmonies, soulful playing, infectious rhythms. We sure do enjoy it and we hope you do too. What more could you ask for?

Saturday, July 28th:
Bona Fide

A Southwest Idaho group that performs a wide range of traditional and contemporary Americana music in a country/ folk format with bluegrass elements. They write and perform original music about interesting people, places, events and personal experiences in West Virginia and Idaho. The duo will be joined by surprise local guests.

Also, Saturday, July 28th:
Falling Run Bluegrass Band

A veteran group from the Morgantown area featuring Corey Bonasso on upright bass, Ray Hicks on guitar and vocals, Jesse Milnes on fiddle and vocals and Tim Selman on banjo and vocals. The FRBB keep to the "traditional" interpretation of bluegrass. They play well-known standards as well as lesser-known tunes and original compositions.

Saturday, August 11th:
The Hillbilly Gypsies

The Hillbilly Gypsies are a West Virginia native string band who specialize in playing their own homegrown style of Appalachian old time music, mixed with a hard drivin' bluegrass sound. In addition to their original material, The Hillbilly Gypsies play an eclectic mix of traditional and quite often, not-so- traditional bluegrass standards and catchy old fiddle tunes.

Saturday, August 25th:
Rust Kings

High Energy Appalachian Stompgrass! From the hills and valleys of West Virginia. Originally formed in 1994, Rust Kings have been playing a steady stream of dates on the east coast and beyond. Not bluegrass, not country, not rock but a little of it all….

Saturday, September 1st:
Stewed Mulligan

"Stewed Mulligan blends the old backwoods sound with clever Country Rock to create music that could have been birthed in a basement by the illegitimate sons of The Band. If Fat Albert's Junkyard band had an Appalachian bizarro group, they would be called Stewed Mulligan."
