This year’s line-up is especially strong…particularly on Sunday.

Pete Seeger.
Drive-By Truckers.
Martin Sexton.
Indigo Girls.
Arlo Guthrie.
Josh Ritter.
Jorma Kaukonen.
Billy Bragg.
John Sebastian.
John Gorka.
The Felice Brothers.
Justin Townes Earle.
Chris Smither.

Hope to see you there.

Peace.
