Sam Bush is the perfect ambassador for bluegrass in the 21st century. He was a founding member of the New Grass Revival and has been called a modern day Bill Monroe.  Throughout his career, he has acknowledged tradition while pushing mountain music into the realms of rock, jazz, reggae, and Afro-pop. He has shared a stage with some of the biggest names in acoustic and folk music, including Emmylou Harris, Lyle Lovett, and David Grisman. He has inspired nationally known bands including the String Cheese Incident, Yonder Mountain String Band, and Nickel Creek. There are few performers in any genre who exude so much joy and energy in performance. To learn more about Sam Bush, visit his website at: www.sambush.com.

Jeff Burke & Vida Wakeman perform original songs spanning from Appalachian bluegrass to alternative country. Vida's powerfu vocals and driving guitar with Jeff's rock-n-roll approach to mandolin and guitar gets crowds feet stomping, and "is about as perfect a combination as you're likely to find".
