Featuring: 

Terri and Rob Duo - (folk/singer/songwriters): Terri and Rob Duo perform a mix of covers and originals and they encourage you to see them live and enjoy their musical talents. Rob DeSorbo showcases an eclectic mix of styles and was a member of the Blue Mountain Band (BMB), which formed in 1971 with a rock and blues focus that ultimately evolved into a jazz fusion focus. Terri Lachance has been playing and writing songs since her early teen years. Her songs are rooted in her life experiences and her deeply held beliefs. Every tune emanates from her heart and soul.  (A special thanks to Terri and Rob for running our second stage all day!)

After The Fall - (progressive rock): This latest release from veteran US-based prog rockers After The Fall is classic lyrical & instrumental Prog Rock on steroids! Tracks range from acoustic and lyrical, to hard driving fusion instrumentals, to full-blown Progressive Epics.

Troy Millette - (Touring pop/ folk singer/songwriter): Heart, humor, and humility are the keys to success for singer/songwriter Troy Millette, a Fairfax, Vermont native who has quickly earned himself a reputation as one of New England’s most promising up-and-comers. Millette’s shows are guaranteed to entertain music-lovers of all kinds through their striking original songs, imaginative covers, and witty onstage banter.

Mattabesset String Collective - (bluegrass band): Mattabesset String Collective is a five-piece acoustic ensemble playing an eclectic mix of bluegrass, blues, folk, mountain, country and rock, all in a string band style. Its present lineup includes Barry Chernoff (guitar), Marc Eisner (mandolin), Rebecca McCallum (fiddle), Gil Skillman (banjo, cuatro, and dobro) and Kevin Wiliarty (bass).

Steve Dedman - (Americana singer/songwriter, founder of Plywood Cowboy): Keyboardist and guitarist, Steve Dedman writes heart-born songs that interweave the rich heritage of country roots with singer-songwriter traditions. Dedman’s songs are featured on Plywood Cowboy’s 2016 debut album, Channel 33. Accolades for the music describe it as a “seriously hooky debut EP” (The Day) and “steeped in tradition, with lyrics full of longing, truth and heart” (Sound Waves Magazine). He was nominated for a Grammy in 2018.

Frankie and The Know It Alls - (blues/ rock band): Frank Albert has been pleasing crowds with his renditions of rock, jazz and rhythm & blues for over 30 years.
