NOAM PIKELNY AND FRIENDS | 5PM
Virtuosic banjo player Noam Pikelny (pictured) headlines the July 4 celebration with his band of friends including Alex Hargreaves, Aoife O’ Donovan (Crooked Still), Chris Eldridge (Punch Brothers) and Mark Schatz (Claire Lynch Band).
THE SWEETBACK SISTERS | 4PM
The Sweetback Sisters Emily Miller and Zara Bode may not be blood relations, but their precise, family-style harmonies recall the best of country music from the Everlys to The Judds, as well as the spirited rockabilly energy of Wanda Jackson, one of the band’s role models. Like the artists they admire, the Sweetbacks are concerned with the traditional subjects of heartbreak, revenge, remorse and staying strong in the face of relationships gone wrong, albeit with a contemporary sensibility.
SPUYTEN DUYVIL | 3PM
“Spuyten Duyvil,” Dutch slang for “in spite of the devil” as well as the creek connecting the Harlem and Hudson Rivers, is a new band of eight old souls playing and singing their hearts out. Led by husband and wife duo Mark Miller (guitar, Bouzouki, vocals) and Beth Jamie Kaufman (vocals) they lean on the history, folklore and sounds of the last 100 years to craft an energetic bluesy, bluegrass, jug band, Old Timey influenced force.
