7:00 pm: Backyard Tire Fire – Led by front man Edward David Anderson, and returning from a short hiatus, this revered Illinois band honors our stage as they promote their latest release. Known for infectious melodies and memorable messages the band has 9 releases and have played countless shows across the US and Canada.  Here is what the Nashville Scene had to say: “Bar Room Semantics is infused with the kind of dusty, bootstrap-pulling resilience that Midwesterners have spent decades perfecting”.

5:00 pm: Jimmy Nick and Don’t Tell Mama – Back by popular demand!  Jimmy is an old-fashioned guitar slinging blues prodigy. His mission is to expose the next generation to the blues. Driven by his Motown-tight band of Chicago Blues Hall of Famers, Don’t Tell Mama, featuring saxophone, bass, and drums, Jimmy excites crowds with his electrifying guitar work, fresh harp, clever lyrics and animated stage theatrics. His high energy blues and rock-n-roll captivate audiences, and forge instant fans.

3:00 pm: Ivy Ford - Versatile, talented, and an old soul. From singing the blues to being sultry, Ivy is an indigo artist whose gift connects those who are around her and those who listen. The “Blues Kitten” serves an experience of music to soothe your soul, fill your heart, with an energy that is most magical.  We are glad she is taking some time off from world tours to be a part of our event.
