 Featured Bands include:

Moonshine String Posse is homegrown, high-flyin, old-time- psychedelic, far-out, rockin', groovin', ramblin', scramblin', hootin'-hollerin', good old fashioned, California bluegrass! (well, kinda).  We are Dave Barrow on guitar, Matt Tyrrell on guitar, Andy Roberts on clawhammer banjo, Johnny Cambell on fiddle, Karen on mandolin and Meghan Herring on double bass.

Wires-n-Wood is an acoustic quintet, playing a wide range of dawggy, swingy, jazzy grassy jazzgrass stuff that will have your head spinning and your toes tapping. W&W includes Ted Kratter (guitar, mando), Larry Weissenborn (bass), Steve Joynes (fiddle), Scott Klein (mando, guitar), and Stacey Erdman, (guitar & vocals).

The Stoney Mountain Ramblers play energetic traditional and progressive bluegrass, newgrass, JerryGrass, etc. High-lonesome harmonies, barn-burning instrumentals, and the "odd" cover. SMR includes Steve Joynes (fiddle), "Woodie"  Woodell (mando), Gary Anwyl (dobro), Robert Zeien (guitar), Bill Hamburgen (bass) and Scott Dailey (banjo).

Pathetic Honey is a grassy, greasy, gooey rockin jam-band [Bluegrass Advisory Warning: Drums Ahead], featuring hot picking, singing, and great original material. Pathetic Honey is Dan Newitt (guitar, dobro), David Barrow (guitar), Greg Lauer (mando), Kevin Kelsey (bass), and Karl Jesse on stringless, neckless banjos (aka drums).

Hootenanny was also an old country word for "party". Now, most commonly, it refers to a folk-music party. Expect bluegrass, new-grass, folk, rock, dead-head'ish jams, backwoods traditionals, and musical surprise after musical surprise.

If you like live music, show up. If you play an instrument, bring it.
