BUCKY WALTERS (Humboldt Co.)
One can’t get enough of this band based in the soggy bottoms of Arcata,
California. The name Bucky Walters may sound like some folk legend or a
retired baseball player, but in fact these guys are one of the hottest
bluegrass bands around. The sound of this young acoustic sextet has a
nostalgic bluegrass vibe that maintains a fresh, hot-pickin’ intensity,
attracting music lovers across the board. They have stolen the show at
several SF Bluegrass & Old-Time Festivals and multiple Hardly Strictly
after parties. But anytime Bucky Walters play, it’s a party!

BROWNCHICKEN BROWNCOW STRINGBAND (West Virginia)
Blending old-time fiddle music with shades of gypsy, folk, jazz, Celtic,
and bluegrass, BrownChicken BrownCow StringBand, deliver a fresh sound
with a driving rhythm and sophisticated melodic arrangements. They play
waltzes, reveries, reels, and stomps - and move from romping jigs and
swinging dances to seductive ballads, uniquely styled covers, and wholly
original songs about love, relationships, coal miners, tragic murders,
driving with red glasses, and storms that won’t drown out their sound.
This is music the entire family can enjoy.

ADAM KLEIN (Athens, GA)
The slow, lazy rolling days of Summer in the South. Fireflies and little
league games in the evening time. Reminiscences of a past lover and a girl
who got away. Finding one’s self unraveled on a still, dark night, the
promise of youth and potential unfulfilled. These are some of the images
and feelings evoked in Athens, Georgia-based singer/songwriter Adam
Klein’s third record, the nostalgic coming-of-age collection Wounded
Electric Youth. *With special guest Justin Evans (Athens, GA)*
