Buxton and The Small Sounds each bring a dynamic hooks, thoughtful instrumentaion, and powerful writing to their indie-infused, folk-inspired blend of Americana. Catch them on the upswing and brag about it later

June 3
Los Skarnales with Karina Nistal
Una buena fusion of ska, pachuco boogie, old school funk and rockabilly with a pinch of punk, Los Skarnales can barely be contained by any stage. Karina Neal's pumping freestyle sets the perfect tone.

June 10
Mike Stinson with Robert Ellis and The Boys
Mike Stinson calls his music "tear-in-your-beer honky-tonk and barnyard rock and roll." Dwight Yoakam likes it so much, he's recorded several of Mike's songs. Come hear Mike and meet Robert Ellis & The Boys for a great night on the hill.
