The Almost Irish Band will perform Sunday, Aug. 11. Hailing from Mount Airy, N.C., the group plays Irish and other Celtic music, as well as oldies, The Beatles, and lots of other gems from past decades.
Luke Mears & Friends will perform Sunday, Aug. 25. Mears blends blues, country, rock, and boogie into a style all his own that includes both flat-picking and finger-style guitar. With a strong vocal style, he is wise beyond his years in both his lyrics and musical taste.
