Time:	6 p.m.
Location:	Town Center Park
Details:	Upon hearing the unique and refreshing sound of Nicki Bluhm, it becomes immediately clear why she is in the midst of a breakout year. Nicki has filled a void in music with her brand of vintage-tinged rocking country soul -- music thats like an enchanting friend youve known for a short while but feels like youve known forever.Nickis story began at a New Years Eve party when she sang an impromptublues song that caught the attention of musician/producer Tim Bluhm (The Mother Hips). With Tims encouragement Nicki began to write songs and perform in public, and soon was earning fans of her own. They went on to record Nickis debut album, Tobys Song (2008), which appeared on Jambases top ten albums of the year. Nicki and Tim were married shortlyafter and formed her band with childhood friend and guitar player, Deren Ney. The band continued to grow with the addition of Steve Adams on bass (ALO), Dave Mulligan on rhythm guitar and drummer Mike Curry. Nicki has since shared the stage with Chris Robinson, Susan Tedeschi andDerek Trucks, Bob Weir, Phil Lesh, Steve Kimock, Jackie Greene, Pegi Young, Josh Ritter, and many others.Her sophomore album, "Driftwood" (2011), shows an impressive expansion of Nickis natural talent and is well into its second pressing. The sounds range from the AM magic of Linda Ronstadt to the charming duets of Johnny and June Cash to smokey Memphis soul. Since Driftwoods release, Nicki has become the "It Girl" of the San Francisco music scene-- performing with her band, "The Gramblers"; as a duo with her husbandTim; and as a guest artist with an array of revered peformers. Her warm, strong voice and striking presence have undeniable appeal, confirmed by her sensational performances and rousing reception from music lovers at every show.Town Center Park opens at 6 p.m., music starts at 7 p.m. Food and beverages from local vendors will be available.

Early self-produced recordings garnered the attention of venerated label Nettwerk Records, which came on board to release "After The Flood" (2005) and "Smart Kid" (2006). Both albums won a CD of the year nod from the Indie Acoustic Music awards, as well as being nominated for numerous other honors (including multiple mentions from The West Coast Music Awards, and the Canadian Folk Music Awards).

Theirspontaneous forays into musical mayhem can only be experienced in person, and after years of relentless touring the Lovers feel most at home on a stage."Their fusion of bluegrass and celtic with a rock attitude is the soundtrack for a kinetic show that has helped the band become a favoriteof the roots music crowd" - San Antonio Express-NewsPark opens at 6 p.m., music starts at 7 p.m. Food and beverages from local vendors will be available.

Details:	Take a group of Kansas City musicians with a passion for Celtic music, an Irishman with a love of all things American, and you get a cross-pollination of elements that is high octane and progressive, yet rooted in tradition. Since forming in 1998, the Eldershave brought their musical mix of amped-up roots rock, powerful vocals, blazing instrumentals and top-notch songwriting to festivals, pubs and theaters across the United States and Ireland. Through it all their four studio albums, two live albums and DVD have become sales staples at festivals and gift shops across the US.The Elders are fronted by charismatic Irishman, Ian Byrne from County Wicklow, and backed by a group of wicked-fine Kansas City musicians. Band members include guitarist Steve Phillips (The Rainmakers), bassist Norm Dahlor (Tommy Shaw Band), violinist Brent Hoad, drummer Tommy Sutherland, and keyboardist Joe Miquelon (Asleep at the Wheel). These six gentlemen create original music that transcends the stereotypical notion of Celtic music and they deliver it with passion and fire. The songs are mystical, comical, political and cultural, while covering a wide variety of topics such as poverty, civil war, family bonds, spirituality, love and friendship. They tell us stories of people, places and events - some distant, some recent, some real and some imagined.Park opens at 6 p.m., music starts at 7 p.m. Food and beverages from local vendors will be available.

Time:	6 p.m.
Location:	Town Center Park
Details:	Years of European and North American tours, five critically acclaimed albums, two Juno nominations and two Canadian Folk Music Award nominations...little wonder, the buzz around John Reischman and The Jaybirdscontinues to grow. Like the mandolinist at its helm, the group fashions a stylish, elegant take on bluegrass that is at once innovativeand unadorned, sophisticated and stripped-down, happily old-fashioned, yet unselfconsciously new. To see their live show is to believe it. A genial blend of story-telling and side-show humor provides the backdrop to their studied performance of original songs, instrumentals, and newlyarranged traditional material.Hailing from the variegated ranks of the contemporary West Coast acoustic music scene, each of these birds has certainly earned his wings: the list of projects they have contributed to over the years is nothing less than a short list of acoustic power houses. Together, theirseamless ensemble work makes for one of the freshest, most tasteful band-sounds on the folk and bluegrass circuit today. Whether setting the tone for a mournful ballad, laying in fills for one of the groups unique original compositions, or providing essential rhythmic foundation to breakneck speed bluegrass, John Reischmansmandolin acts as the sonic heart and soul of the band and its conceptual touchstone. He is a mandolin master of the highest caliber, having garnered praise from every corner of the music world for his tasteful, classic, and versatile technique bar-none. After cutting his teeth with West Coast groups of now-legendary status (the Tony Rice Unit, the Good Ol Persons) Reischman has once again reached new heightswith the Jaybirds; this time, it is with a singular sound built around his musical tastes and fortified by the intrepid spirit of his musical partners.Park opens at 6 p.m., music starts at 7 p.m. Food and beverages from local vendors will be available.
