• Studio Gangsters with Robobilly

Studio Gangsters been gettin' shell in this mofo for eleven years and see no reason to stop now. Robobilly is what it would sound like if you were to put a robot into cowboy boots into a blender filled with spiders.

• Amy Alley

Amy Alley's illustrious vocal tones and animated musicianship on guitar, spoken word, and (if she's feeling playful), a ukulele, touch on topics that range the gamut of human emotions. The result is a novel style of music that combines the influence of her hearty, spirited mountain folk roots along with a raw, unconventional approach to the folk genre.

• Vintage Fresh with Only Living Boy

Vintage Fresh will bring you right back to those summertime festivals, stifling in the heat and mud, and loving every minute spent with friends jamming to the blues, jazz, and rock-influenced music. Only Living Boy play a combination of the psych rock inherited from their parents' vinyl and the alternative rock of their own MTV adolescence.

• Pagan Hellcats

The words "Pagan Hellcats" coupled together translates into beautiful, raw songs, jittery intensity mixing with good neighborly sentiments with pretty male/female pagan harmonies that pop up generally in the second set.

• The Mercators with Bobby's Fever

Like most of Durham's musical acts, the Mercators started off in small claims court. Now they're four guys, in a basement, making music, high on love, sipping on tea, & toast. Bobbys Fever consists of helium induced smurf voice sucking you in as they strive to bring you their own potent blend of loud, and always obnoxious, punk'n'roll (with hints of angry pop!!!).

• The Screaming Crayons with Philip Henry Mancuso

The Screaming Crayons feature comedic intersong banter, instrument trading, electric percussive watermelons, and even a two-man drum solo. Philip Henry Mancuso plays the guitar, banjo, ukulele, and piano - not all at the same time yet, but he's working on it.
