Feeding Leroy, 11:30 am Feeding LeRoy is a unique project that came out of the collaboration of Sonja and Lee’s original songs blending with their songwriting and vocal harmonies. It’s a family affair now, with brother Luke step- ping in on the harmonica and longtime friend and bassist, Adam Staupe on the upright bass, adding harmonies that create somewhat of a gospel undertone.

Evergreen Grass Band, 1 pm With an energetic and original three-piece including guitar, bass and banjo, the Ever-Green Grass Band has been winning ears and hearts alike with their straight-forward, face-melting ungrass songs, toe-tappin country tunes and original grass arrange-ments of covers in any genre.

Spruce Roots, 2 pm Spruce Roots features frequent perform-ers on the local music scene. Eric Frost, accompanied by a stellar cast with Jim Elverhoy on harmonica, Jessa Frost on fiddle, Bill Hansen on dobro and Travis Wickwire on bass, the ensemble weaves through a repertoire of Americana, folk and bluegrass with a touch of swing and rock and roll to get you on your feet.
