Participating artists include Matthew Kahler, Eliot Bronson, The District Attorneys, Tedo Stone Arlington Priest, the Bitteroots, The Flint Hill Specials, Maria Gabriella, Chris Stalcup and the Grange, Spencer Smith, Kristen Englenz, Ryan Flanagan, The Skipperdees, and Mike Killeen and the Dregs.
In addition to three nights of music, this year’s event will also include two Saturday afternoon concerts for families featuring Eric Litwin, the “guitar-strumming, book-writing, song-singing, national-award-winning” bestselling author of the Pete the Cat picture books. The shows are at 11 a.m. and 4 p.m. and will be hosted by Little Shop of Stories.
