9pm – 10pm – Doubleclicks

Genre: Nerd Folk

For fans of: Kimya Dawson, Jonathan Coulton, Amanda Palmer, Tom Lehrer

The Doubleclicks sing heartfelt songs about geeky things like Dungeons and Dragons, dinosaurs, and Pride & Prejudice. The sisters from Portland, Oregon play cello and ukulele and travel the country playing for “nerds” and “normals” everywhere. Their 2013 album Lasers and Feelings hit the top 10 in Billboard’s comedy charts and included the viral hit geek girl anthem, “Nothing to Prove.”

“The Doubleclicks are my favorite. They’re sisters, they play the ukulele and the cello, and they sing about nerd stuff like D&D, dinosaurs, WoW. They are just delightful people, too, and I can’t wait to perform with them again.” — Wil Wheaton (Star Trek, The Guild, Big Bang Theory)

10pm - 12am – George Gilmore

Genre: Folk, Singer/songwriter

For fans of: Nick Lowe, Leonard Cohen, Justin Townes Earle, Kris Kristofferson

This New York City veteran singer/songwriter/guitar slinger has been a mainstay on the Americana/roots-rock scene for over two decades. His latest (I am a Weed) finds him in great form on these (lucky) 13 tunes exploring the journey of life with and without love, accompanied by an able stable of well-known Big Apple players. Tops for me is his gospel-fueled offering “The Good Lord Smote My Eye.”

midnight - 1am – Chris Ford

Genre: Pop/alternative/folk

For fans of: Ed Sheeran, Passenger, Elliot Smith, Damien Rice

During a mad cap adventure to New York Chris had the amazing opportunity of interviewing John Cale of The Velvet Underground. Getting on well, John encouraged Chris to perform for the first time in his life in the west village. Chris returned to London and began writing his first album This Atlantic Low. Released in Ireland, My Strength My Weakness and The Morning Light achieved widespread airplay on national radio. Going back to basics on his next album All Caught Up, an album inspired by Bruce Springsteen’s Nebraska, the track When The Sun Grows Cold started picking up very strong radio support around the UK. After signing with Cooking Vinyl Music Chris has been recording tracks for his next album with Pascale Giovetto [My Bloody Valentine, Elvis Costello, Bjork]

“Imaginative and Captivating” The Guardian
