SUMMARY:PATIO SHOW: ZG Smith & Madison Hughes
DESCRIPTION:– LIMITED PATIO SEATING IS FIRST COME FIRST SERVE\nZG SMITH & MADISON HUGHES \nZG Smith is the Los Angeles-born\, Nashville-based son of an English professor mother and a shipwreck diver and underwater archaeologist father. For over ten years\, he fronted the band Smooth Hound Smith who headlined tours in the US\, Europe\, and the UK and supported artists like The Chicks\, Collective Soul\, Trombone Shorty\, Jamestown Revival\, and many more. Following the release of their third album in 2019 and a month-long European tour in February 2020\, the band’s eventual hiatus caused Smith to refocus towards other artistic pursuits. “I started seeking out music again like I did when I was younger. I realized that I had been so focused on Smooth Hound Smith and had been trying to push the band forward\, that I stopped listening to music just for enjoyment. Because of the pandemic\, I had time\, so I dug a massive hole in my backyard\, leveled it off\, and laid a patio of over 1\,200 bricks\, all by hand. It took me about a month. I would just be out there all day in the sun listening to North African desert blues\, EDM\, ‘90s hip hop\, or bizarre\, outsider folk music. A lot of that stuff really informed the music I ended up creating months later.”\nMadison Hughes makes music that lives in the in-between — the space between falling apart and finding your footing. Her sound pulls from the women who defined late ’90s Americana — Sheryl Crow\, Norah Jones\, Mazzy Star — and roots it in something country-blues and lived-in. Warm\, honest\, and a little worn around the edges. Like someone you trust quickly\, even if you just met.

SUMMARY:Hudson Freeman + lots of hands
DESCRIPTION:lots of hands\ninto a pretty room — lots of hands’ debut on Fire Talk Records — exists in the tear-stained early mornings of adolescence\, just as the sun makes its first appearance over the horizon and thoughts of the night before begin to subside. A collage of reworked demos\, freewheeling session standouts\, and swatches of instrumental electronics\, into a pretty room offers a touching rumination of grief and loss\, growing up and letting go. \nBilly Woodhouse and Elliot Dryden\, the core duo behind lots of hands\, first connected in a Newcastle school music program at age 16. Following years of cultivating a dedicated fanbase across 3 self-released records\, into a pretty room marks the duo’s first truly collaborative effort\, with Dryden often trekking the vast northern English countryside to write and record in Woodhouse’s bedroom studio. Between pints of beer and rounds of Fortnite\, the two slowly chipped away at into a pretty room. \nTORRI WEIDINGER

SUMMARY:PATIO SHOW: Brendan Lane & The Sugar Packets
DESCRIPTION:BRENDAN LANE & THE SUGAR PACKETS\nOriginally hailing from Annapolis\, singer-songwriter Brendan Lane has been making music since his school days\, where he and his friends — all devout fans of Jimmie’s Chicken Shack\, Bumpin’ Uglies\, and Pressing Strings — channeled their creative energy into a series of initial sonic experiments. Fuelled by the confidence from these early experiences\, Brendan decided to take the leap and commit to music full-time\, his first self-written tracks making their public debuts at a range of local all-ages gigs — and the rest was history. \nDistilling influences from The Beatles to Blink-182 via a deep detour in blues country courtesy of B.B. King and John Mayer\, Brendan quickly became known for his nostalgic\, positive\, soul-rockin’ blend of\, well\, rock and soul — although as an innovator at heart\, nods to more contemporary inspirations like Jon Batiste and Taylor Swift can also be found somewhere in the mix\, keeping things fresh. \nHaving released a number of singles and an EP\, performed in seven countries across three continents to date\, and refined his reputation as an electric live performer both solo and with his band\, The Sugar Packets\, Brendan’s momentum is at an all-time high as he prepares for his biggest year yet. Plans for monthly single releases and a slew of live performances throughout 2024 are already in the works\, which will culminate in the release of a full-length album at the end of the year — much to the delight of his diverse and growing fanbase.

SUMMARY:Drivin N Cryin
DESCRIPTION:DRIVIN N CRYIN \nDrivin N Cryin is an enduring American rock band whose roots-forward sound and uncompromising spirit have made them a vital force since forming in Atlanta\, Georgia in 1985. Blending Southern rock grit\, folk storytelling\, and hard-charging rock & roll\, the band built a reputation early on as a must-see live act and a songwriter’s band with depth far beyond trends. \nLed by singer-songwriter Kevn Kinney and anchored by bassist Tim Nielsen and drummer Dave Johnson\, Drivin N Cryin broke through nationally with a run of influential albums that helped define late-’80s and early-’90s American rock. Songs like “Fly Me Courageous\,” “Honeysuckle Blue\,” “Straight to Hell\,” “Build a Fire\,” and “Scarred But Smarter” became staples of rock and AAA radio\, with Fly Me Courageous earning Gold certification and remaining a cornerstone of the band’s catalog. \nWhile they emerged during the MTV era\, Drivin N Cryin never disappeared. Over four decades\, they’ve remained a consistently touring\, recording band — releasing new music\, evolving their sound\, and cultivating a loyal\, multigenerational audience. Their influence extends well beyond their own recordings; “Straight to Hell” found new life through covers and collaborations that introduced the song to entirely new audiences. \nThe band’s stature is reflected in both peer respect and formal recognition\, including induction into the Georgia Music Hall of Fame\, as well as Kinney’s induction into the Milwaukee Music Hall of Fame. Touring history includes shared stages with artists spanning multiple eras and genres\, The Who\, Hootie & The Blowfish\, The Black Crowes\, ZZ Top\, Soul Asylum\, Blackberry Smoke\, The Marshall Tucker Band\, Jason Isbell\, along with recent appearances on destination events like Rock Boat\, Outlaw Country Cruise\, and Moon Crush. \nTheir latest album\, Crushing Flowers\, marks a deliberate return to the band’s core. Stripped back to the original three-piece\, the record favors clarity\, chemistry\, and feel over excess — a confident\, back-to-basics statement from a band that knows exactly who it is. Rather than chasing nostalgia or novelty\, Crushing Flowers reinforces what has always set Drivin N Cryin apart: honest songs\, emotional weight\, and the unmistakable sound of a band still fully engaged in the work. \nNearly forty years in\, Drivin N Cryin remains a living\, breathing American rock band — not a revival act\, not a footnote\, but a continuing story still being written.

SUMMARY:Squirrel Nut Zippers: Celebrating 30 Years of “Hot”
DESCRIPTION:SQUIREL NUT ZIPPERS\nWhen Hot first hit the airwaves in 1996\, it didn’t just ignite excitement — it sparked a cultural bonfire. With its infectious blend of swing\, jazz\, Delta blues\, and Southern storytelling\, Hot rocketed Squirrel Nut Zippers from the underground scene of Chapel Hill\, NC\, to the national stage\, going Platinum and defining a generation’s rediscovery of vintage Americana. \nThe band’s breakout sophomore album captured lightning in a bottle. Recorded at the famed Kingsway Studio in New Orleans (owned by Daneil Lanois)\, the record radiated with authenticity. Featuring a warm\, analog sound\, paired with wry\, vivid storytelling\, the album topped the Billboard 200 charts for an impressive 51 weeks and included such standout tracks as “Put a Lid On It\,” “Blue Angel\,” and its biggest hit to-date “Hell.” \n“Hell\,” which at the time\, was considered an unlikely radio single\, topped the Alternative Airplay charts at #13 and has become a pivotal piece of pop culture as it continues to heat up the radio and TV airwaves\, appearing on alt rock and Americana stations and in such prominent television shows as Wednesday (2025) and Lucifer (2021). \nNow\, 30 years later\, the Zippers are celebrating the ever-lasting magic of Hot with the “In The Afterlife” tour\, where the band will play the record in its entirety. The 30th celebration of Hot is not just a look back — it’s a salute to resilience\, innovation\, and the enduring power of a band that never stopped evolving. \nFormed in 1993 by Jimbo Mathus\, Katharine Whalen\, and a tight-knit group of musical misfits\, Squirrel Nut Zippers defied genre from the start. Their sound — an intoxicating mix of prohibition-era jazz\, big band bravado\, and punk-rock irreverence — invited listeners into a world where vaudeville met voodoo and speakeasy swagger met Southern soul. \nLed by Mathus\, and managed by original drummer Chris Phillips\, the modern-day Zippers continue to honor that legacy while breathing new life into their beloved catalog. As the Squirrel Nut Zippers bring Hot back to the stage\, fans old and new are rediscovering what made the album — and the band — so unforgettable. Music that swings\, sings\, and sizzles with soul.

SUMMARY:ENCOUNTERS WITH CREATIVES – JEFF RIPPLE\, ORIGINAL OIL ARTIST
DESCRIPTION:(FREE) Jeff Ripple will be on hand to share his methods in original oil painting and more. \nJeff is dedicated to a poetic realism in landscape painting inspired by intriguing compositions and fleeting moments of emotive light in nature. His style involves carefully planned drawings\, a reliance on sketches and studies painted in nature to inspire studio work\, and a focus on luminous atmosphere. Evidence of a human presence is often absent or subordinated in his landscapes. He sketches and paints regularly outdoors to create field studies that often focus on skies\, light on the landscape\, water\, trees\, rocks or really anything that interests him\, refining those ideas in the studio with a focus on atmosphere and achieving depth.

SUMMARY:GALLERY WALK – LARRY RICCI\, WOODWORK ARTIST
DESCRIPTION:(FREE) Meet and talk with woodworking artist Larry Ricci during the Gallery Walk in July. \nOne of the greatest gifts Larry ever received was when his dad put tools in his hands when he was a kid. He was later inspired by the sculptural furniture of artist George Nakashima and visited the Nakashima studio often in the years that followed. After a 40+ year career in education\, he began working mostly with local\, highly figured hardwoods and burls to create unique pieces of art that maintain the organic beauty of the wood. The wood\, with its shape\, figure\, imperfections and voids\, is what draws his attention and curiosity. Sometimes the imperfections are what creates the greatest interest in studying the piece. Larry always attempts to balance form and function\, but sometimes one of those wins out.
