The weekend long party is jam packed full of the best country, folk, bluegrass, rockabilly, blues, soul and roots music.
The line-up also includes highly influential singer-songwriter Mary Chapin Carpenter, country duos Kelly Willis & Bruce Robison plus Brennen Leigh & Noel Mckay, new folk pioneers The Mike & Ruthy Band plus Gill Landry, bluegrass from Ron Block and a simmering blues stew from Lucky Peterson.
