Few Miles South
Few Miles South is a female fronted, national touring country and roots group created by Grammy nominated producer/engineer, Blake English, and classically trained singer, Tori Lund. Dubbed "the country Pretenders" (WSM, Grand Ole Opry Radio), Tori's ethereal vocals are the yin to Blake's “grandiose guitar picking, that even the likes of Billy Strings and Molly Tuttle would be proud of” (The Boot). Thoughtful songs set to nostalgic twang and knee slappin' grooves attract listeners across generations.
3:00 pm - 4:00 pm
Spring Creek 45
Spring Creek 45 is an Alabama-based bluegrass band that plays original tunes and some traditional covers. The band was assembled to record an album during March 2023, and the album was released on vinyl on the Common Loon Records label in November 2023. Most notably, Michael Prewitt plays mandolin and sings with Spring Creek 45. Wes Knapp, Mike Bailey, Kelsey Cunningham, Steven Salter, and Justin Stickler.

IBMA-nominated bluegrass musician, Michael Prewitt and his band play top-notch bluegrass original tunes. Prewitt has just released a bluegrass instrumental CD and by the time of the festival will have vinyl copies of his second solo album available.
5:30 pm - 6:30 pm
Chloe Kimes
The Nashville based singer-songwriter is actively defining the next generation of folk-singing troubadours with an old-soul sensibility for storytelling in a spirited alt-country outfit. She released her debut album in 2022, a strikingly live self-titled with rafter reaching vocals and songwriting that garnered her comparisons to the likes of Lucinda Williams (Jonathan Frahm, For Folk’s Sake) and landed her a spot on NPR Music's Top 10 Nashville Artist's on the rise in 2022. Since then, the record has also been awarded Listener’s Choice Album of the Year by her home state’s WYCE Radio Jammie Awards. Following in the footsteps of many Michigan artists looked up to throughout her career, (Billy Strings, Lindsay Lou, The Accidentals, to name a few) Kimes continues to forge the Michigan-native-Nashville-based pipeline with an electric band not to be missed.
6:50 am - 7:50 pm
Stillhouse Junkies
A crowd-thrilling trio from the Colorado mountain of Durango, Stillhouse Junkies share the kind of strangely charmed chemistry that elevates both artist and audience alike. Since forming in 2017, the Durango-bred band have offered up a hypnotic and high-energy form of roots music anchored in the free-flowing interplay among the three lifelong musicians (Fred Kosak on guitar and mandolin, Cody Tinnin on upright bass, Alissa Wolf on fiddle). While they’ve gained major traction in the bluegrass world in recent years — including winning the IBMA Momentum Band of the Year award in 2021 — Stillhouse Junkies ultimately inhabit a genre-blurring and subtly inventive sound informed by everything from blues to classical to Texas swing. When matched with their nuanced songcraft and soul-stirring harmonies, the result is a one-of-a-kind musical experience that immediately transports the listener into a more enchanted state of mind.

8:00 pm - 9:00 pm
Chatham Rabbits
Chatham Rabbits are beautiful music personified. They play an old-time style with a modern, relevant feel. The band is made up of husband and wife, Sarah and Austin McCombie. They are great friends of the festival, and they exemplify North Carolina’s tradition of producing artists who embrace the state’s many cultural resources and diverse musical traditions.
