October 8 Jimmy Magoo & Friends
Beloved Jimmy Magoo is an award-winning singer/songwriter, actor,  
director, composer, playwright, and poet. From his first days as a  
member of the Somnambulist Project theater company to his recent  
musical scoring of the PaperHand Puppet Intervention show at Chapel  
Hill’s Forest Theatre, Jimmy has inspired and delighted audiences of  
all ages, shapes and sizes for over a decade. He leads several ongoing  
music, theater and performance workshops for kids and adults, and has  
recorded seven CDs, including Short & Sweet, his first album for kids.  
Often billed as kid's music for grownups and everyone in between.

October 15      Wood & Steel
An acclaimed piedmont bluegrass band with a reverence for traditional  
sound yet unafraid to feather its repertoire with a variety of songs  
and styles, from beautifully harmonized original songs to gospel to  
bluegrass versions of Dylan, Wood & Steel keeps crowds moving and  
should not be missed!

- Microbreweries and local breweries will be on hand - sausages, polkas  
and lots of fun and here's the music line-up!!!!
Haw River Waltz -Former Rockers are making a special appearance playing  
a mishmash of old Americana, Sea Shantys and lots more thrown in for  
fun - Haw River Waltz is a brand new venture and proving to be lots of  
fun!
Memphis -Some of the best music the south has to offer - garage roots  
rock in a winning blend of ageless musical genres. Take the energy of  
rock, folk, blues, jazz, rockabilly and psychedelic;  focus them into  
musical harmonies, and you get the undiminished soul of MEMPHIS. This  
is beautiful stuff in all its ragged, raise-your-glass glory.
Brown Mountain Lights- Brilliant Americana-Twang - with immaculate  
sound.  Everly Brothers harmony, Rubber Soul era songwriting and  
c&w/bluegrass guitar.  Singer and multi-instrumentalist Janet Place  
brings a honky tonk kick to her Patsy Cline-esque lead vocals ...As  
luminous as the ghostly North Carolina phenomenon that inspired their  
name, the Brown Mountain Lights make a memorable impression.
Regina Hexaphone -Regina Hexaphone has created some of the most  
inventive arrangements to come out of North Carolina this year, with  
everything from vibes to lap steel to cello to runway feedback - yes,  
runway feedback—on tunes about ice, insects, heroes and lost love.  
Pastoral dream music filled with evocative imagery, subtle style and  
backed by sublime violin.  Don't miss them!
