• Jailbox with Stephen Sebastian

Introspective, at times ethereal, but always innovative and imaginative, Jailbox contains emotion, thought, planning in the writing and arranging into the waters of prog. Stephen Sebastian is an observant scholar of the past, a bold poet of years to come, or maybe just a cool guy who might as well be your next door neighbor.

• Adam Klein and Gabriel Mintz

Adam Klein plays Americana, country, and folk rock once again set to beautiful lyrics, often much avowed and strikingly poetic. Gabriel Mintz has written more than a hundred songs that tell of characters and sketched out scenes. Vocals are a gangly call. Dirtied, but on. Closer to the mic, his lower register becomes unashamed of its beauty. He's roots type Americana-leaning with a warm spatial drone.

• Big Al Hall & Marching Rams with The Armchairs

Alex Hall, or Big Al, was raised in the bread basket of traditional old time and string band music. He fell in love with the raw beauty in the ancient music. The Armchairs play music that makes you want to stand next to yourself and compliment your own shoes.

• Pipe with Tonk

Yes, that Pipe. Look, either you're at this show or you have to turn in your Chapel Hill "I-remember-back-in-the-day" decoder ring - no excuses. Tonk play country music the way God intended it to be played, that is, country music pre-somewhere-around-1978. Heavy on the Ray Price shuffle-walking-bass-line sort of thing, but bleeding into a Waylon / Paycheck harder honkey tonk style. You know, anything before the Eagles and Pure Prairie League bent country music over a barrel and had their way with it.
