SUMMARY:KT Tunstall
DESCRIPTION:Grammy-nominated\, Brit Award-winning Scottish artist KT Tunstall made an indelible mark on the music world with her 2004 multi-platinum debut album Eye to the Telescope\, immediately establishing herself as a formidable force. The album spawned five hit singles\, including “Black Horse and the Cherry Tree\,” “Suddenly I See\,” and “Other Side of the World”. \nTwo decades on\, Tunstall’s career has spanned an eclectic array of genres – from introspective folk to blistering rock and experimental electro-pop – while she has remained one of the most iconic live performers of her generation\, renowned for her extraordinary voice that shifts effortlessly from soulful to bluesy grit to delicate folk-pop. Her music embodies a balance of raw emotion and visceral energy\, always remaining in constant service to memorable melody\, while her live shows are punctuated by a warm and often hilarious rapport with her audience. \nIn addition to her prolific music career\, Tunstall has expanded into composing for film and theater. Most recently\, it was announced that Clueless\, The Musical\, for which she composed the music\, made its West End debut in February 2025. \nTunstall is celebrating the 20th anniversary of her seminal debut album Eye to the Telescope with a series of special performances\, including an inaugural headline show at London’s Royal Albert Hall\, and a re-release featuring additional tracks. After two decades\, KT Tunstall remains a vital\, ever-evolving artist – one who continues to surprise\, innovate\, and captivate audiences around the world. \n

SUMMARY:Pure Prairie League
DESCRIPTION:with Special Guests Little Jane & the Pistol Whips\nFrom their beginnings in mid-sixties Ohio as a group of friends playing cover tunes to the present-day unit featuring founding member/pedal-steel innovator John David Call\, veteran bassist Mike Reilly\, propulsive drummer Scott Thompson and guitar ace Donnie Clark\, Pure Prairie League continues to embellish its rich 43-year history as one of country-rock’s pioneering forces. \n\nTheir eponymous first album – featuring the Norman Rockwell/Saturday Evening Post cover that introduced fans to PPL’s trademark cowpoke “Sad Luke” – has been hailed as a “major early influence in the emerging popularity of country-rock music”. Their second effort\, the multi-platinum Bustin’ Out brought us the classic “Amie”\, along with other gems of the genre. With nine more albums and countless shows\, a legacy was forged and enriched during the ‘70s and 80’s. \nNow in their fifth decade\, Pure Prairie League continues to lead the way for the new generation of country rockers such as Keith Urban\, NickelCreek\, Wilco\, Counting Crows and so many others that cite PPL as a major influence. \nAs crisp and clean as spring water and as comfortable as a well-worn cowboy shirt\, Pure Prairie League still brings it all back home. \nGates open at 6pm.

SUMMARY:JigJam
DESCRIPTION:[vc_video link=’https://youtu.be/8NE2B28VHVc’] \n  \nSOLD OUT! \nWhen virtuoso Irish playing jumps the pond running naked through the wide open fields of bluegrass/Americana\, JigJam is born. Bluegrass and American Folk music originated from the group’s home\, and now JigJam is here to take it back! \nJigJam made its Grand Ole Opry Debut in Nashville in March 2023 to critical acclaim receiving a standing ovation from a sold-out crowd on Country Music’s biggest stage. The group was joined on the night by Garth Brooks\, Trisha Yearwood\, Steve Earle\, Lauren Alaina\, and many more. This Offaly and Tipperary-born band has started the first wave of attack in the new Irish invasion of Americana. \n‘Foot stomping’\, ‘high energy’ badassery is what you’re in for when you see this musical powerhouse live in concert. \nFounding members from Offaly Jamie McKeogh (Lead singer and guitar) and Daithi Melia (5 String Banjo and Dobro) were joined by Tipperary-born Gavin Strappe (Mandolin and Tenor Banjo) in 2016. This year they are joined by Kevin Buckley (Fiddle) to make up this iGrass (Irish Bluegrass) quartet. \nDescribed as ‘The best Irish band in bluegrass’ and ‘sparkling\, infectious’ these lads have been hailed as ‘Ireland’s answer to New Grass Revival’ \nBluegrass has its roots in Irish music and Irish immigration. iGrass and JigJam is what happens when the Irish find their prodigal son. \n  \nBUY TICKETS

SUMMARY:Naturally 7
DESCRIPTION:“A capella group” so vastly underplays what Naturally 7 creates onstage that they had to coin a phrase – “Vocal Play” – to more accurately depict what they do. Naturally 7 is more than a tightly orchestrated collection of great singers. They transform their voices into actual human instruments\, effortlessly producing music of any genre. Their vocal choreography is so perfectly interwoven that they compelled the musical maestro himself\, Quincy Jones\, to declare that “Naturally 7 is the future of vocal music!!” Their sonic mastery was on full display in a series of unforgettable performances on “The World’s Best” TV show\, which premiered on CBS immediately following Super Bowl LIII. Hosted by James Corden\, Naturally 7 reigned supreme as the world’s “Best Group”\, and cemented their singular status among the planet’s musical elite. For the members of Naturally 7 – “Ricky“ Lee Ricardo Cort\, Rod Eldridge\, Kelvin “Kelz“ Mitchell\, Sean Simmonds\, Dwight Stewart\, Roger Thomas\, and Warren Thomas – it’s a privilege to do what they love and bring so much joy to the hearts of their fans each and every performance. It’s exactly what you would expect. When something is pure magic it’s destined to withstand the test of time. Naturally… \nTickets\nAn outdoor event\, rain or shine\, with two ticket options.

SUMMARY:Reverie Road
DESCRIPTION:[vc_video link=’https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bEbw9FEelGA’] \n  \nReverie Road is a fresh\, eclectic celtic combination\, featuring fiddler Winifred Horan and accordionist John Williams (founding Solas members) alongside former Gaelic Storm fiddler Katie Grennan and Jazz and Raga pianist Utsav Lal (Young Steinway Artist).

SUMMARY:Steep Canyon Rangers
DESCRIPTION:The GRAMMY award winning Steep Canyon Rangers have been on a journey that is uniquely their own. The band started in college at UNC-Chapel Hill\,  then dove head first into bluegrass in its most traditional form.
