 The Apache Relay 

Folk rock or rocking folk?  Violin, banjo, heartfelt lyrics and a bushy bearded big bellied brutha ...Springsteen meets Mumford meets The Brothers Comatose....The Apache Relay has quickly built a solid reputation touring extensively and putting on great shows across the country.

  Kermit Ruffins  

Kermit Ruffins is arguably THE musical face of New Orleans, America's most musical city.  His passion for the city and his charisma overflow every performance.  You can catch him all around The Big Easy and you'll enjoy any venue he plays at.  Forget Bourbon Street, follow Kermit's trumpet to Frenchmen Street, or the Treme, or....   Speaking of Treme, Kermit has been a star of the outstanding HBO series by the same name - check it out to get the feel for the people who make the city what it is.

 Tea Leaf Green 

Over the years we heard that Phish was the next Grateful Dead, and Umphrey's McGee was the next Phish...well Tea Leaf Green may be the next Umphrey's - in America's never-ending search for the greatest jam band.  Festival favorites, road warriors, TLG brings the improvisational energy to every jam.
