Kelleigh McKenzie
Darkly seductive. Eerily minimal. Brashly assertive and unquestionably wry. Kelleigh McKenzie seasons her maverick blend of folk, blues, old-time and rock with a uniquely urbane edge, stirring the rich melting pot of Americana to make music with intelligence, compassion and wit. Blessed with an achingly haunting voice, Kelleigh plucks and flails out her twist-filled tales on banjo and acoustic guitar, all while pounding along on her amplified stomp-box. Her stunning debut album “Chances” (Zatchubilly Music, 2008)
is garnering rave reviews and Tony Trischka says it's “a work of art…Kelleigh is a major talent.” Known for her electrifying solo acoustic performances, Kelleigh was recently named a winner in the Mountain Stage NewSong Contest.

Kagero
”A melting pot you’ll want to lick.” - Stephanie Nolasco, The Deli Magazine

Kagero's sound has been described as a melting pot of tonalities and rhythms from Asia, the Middle East and Eastern Europe. Kagero pulls their core rock sound from David Bowie and Neil Young, and adds the gypsy flavor of the violin found in the works of Stephane Grappelli. Kagero's world music goulash is very tasty – even if you don't always know what's you're eating. Just call them your local neighborhood urban-gypsophonic, border-jumping, international debtor's prison groove-loving feelgood band next door.

7:30-9:00pm Daniel Goodman
Folk / Folk Rock

His writing style comes from many diverse sources, including the earlier ballads of Stephen Foster as well as the traditional music of the Appalachian region. The revival of folk music in the 1940's through the 1960's has had a profound effect on Daniel's music and lyrics, including Woody Guthrie, Pete Seeger and, of course, Bob Dylan. Daniel's lyrics have also been strongly influenced by the works of Nick Drake, Jim Croce,Patti Smith and Jackson C. Frank. The musical legacies of Blind Willie McTell,Leadbelly,Dock Boggs,Bascom Lamar Lunsford,Lemon Jefferson as well as the musical dicoveries of John Jacob Niles have also contributed greatly to the context of both his music and lyrics
