    Lucas and the Lovelys

    Lucas Laws & Tara Jenkins finally met on a back porch. The summer sun was setting, the rain was falling and someone started strumming a six-string. Together they wrote a song reflecting on their surroundings and thus commenced upon their musical journey.

    They started playing at poetry readings, open mics and bookstores and developed their own muscial style performing traditional and original songs about longing, loving, and breakfast on trains.

    The tumbleweeds tumbled along and eventually found a beat with Katherine Seifarth, who brought her confident percussion and a melodious third singing voice to the band. Soon after, they enlisted the sure hands of mutual friend Kelly Brown on bass, and the rhythmic groove was established.

    By the following summer, the newly named Lucas & the Lovelys evolved again with the addition of violin virtuoso Joe Taylor after a chance encounter at a pizza shop.

    On Stage: 2:15-3:15PM

    Gina DeSimone and the Moaners

    One woman, a buncha guitars, and a whole lotta blue smoke. Using both acoustic and electric guitars, Gina serves up a spicy mix of finger-slapping funk, jazzy blues and smoky folk guitar. Her new CD “The Moons of Jupiter” is funky, energetic, soulful. Marked by Gina’s signature sound “acoustic groove” this CD is a journey through space, time and musical genres. You’ll travel from pure rock, to honky-tonk, to acoustic blues and more. Every twist and turn accented by stunning guitar work. Once the grooving rhythms have grabbed your attention you’ll find sincere, meaningful and often humorous lyrics.

    On Stage: 3:30-4:30PM

    Treehouse

    Treehouse is a five-member band: keyboards, percussion, congas, guitar & bass. The Treehouse sound is Indie & Latino rock. Treehouse formed in 2001 when Terry Tucker and co-founder Ardyth Gilbertson, keyboards and percussion, began playing with conga drummer, Butch Sanders. Since then, they've added Matt Robinson, guitar and John Quintanilla, bass. Everyone sings.

    On Stage: 4:45-5:45PM
