  • An upbeat Jazz/Funk/Classics fusion band playing for many years in the Northwest 
    
• 7-10pm Barn Dance with The Backwoods Hucksters
  Food and beverages are available throughout the evening!

The Backwoods Hucksters bring an updated take on the music of the Appalachian Mountains, including bluegrass and old-time stringband music, plus the African-influenced country blues of the American South. Incorporating the psychedelic dance-band sound of the Grateful Dead, and throwing in a little rock-n-roll, we call our music ˜Mountain Blues™. The Hucksters offer three-part harmonies, anchored by a solid rhythm section of Cort Armstrong on resonator guitar, Paul Stehr-Green on bass, and Adam Amr on drums, and featuring leads by Sean Divine (harmonica) and Joey Gish (fiddle).



Saturday

• 12-2pm Jean Lenke & Jean Therapy West

Jean’s “Jean Therapy West Band” artfully mixes classic 30’s & 40’s Jazz & Blues with free spirited 60’s & 70’s Folk Rock & Jazz-Rock Fusion, celebrating the soundtracks of generations past and present ~ familiar, yet slightly off center, with haunting appeal. 

• 7-10 p.m. Barn Dance with The Soulshakers Blues Band

The Soulshakers are a five-piece band playing classic and contemporary blues covers and originals.

Featuring Ted Hennessy (Albany, NY blues hall of famer) on harmonica and vocals; Dawn Martin on keyboards and vocals; Mike Pace on guitar and vocals, Terry
Smith on drums; and Gordon Bowlby on bass, we go from Howlin’ Wolf and
Big Joe Turner to The Allman Brothers and The Fabulous Thunderbirds.
