8pm- Robinson Treacher
Genre: Singer/Songwriter
Similar Sound: Richie Havens, Keb Mo, Otis Redding, Cat Stevens, Ray LaMontagne
Robinson Treacher is a uniquely emotional singer/songwriter whose live shows are focused on passionate performance combined with equally passionate lyrics. His music has been defined as everything from Gospel/Soul to Country/Folk, but he’d rather the listener define it for him/herself. He spends most of his time between NYC and Nashville and is currently completing his third recording due out in the spring.
“Robinson’s smoky and raspy voice quickly excels in the spotlight. He is a true storyteller who gives you goosebumps while listening to his strong and highly emotional songs. This guy needs to be discovered very soon!” - www.rootstime.be
“Soulful, bluesy with a little bit of rock, all combine to elevate this artist from the many others who are active in this market.” - Paul McGee -Lonesome Highway

9pm- Zuni Mountain Boys
The Zuni Mountain Boys are an Americana duo based out of Brooklyn. Connor McGinnis and Matt Campbell formed the group in early 2014. They recorded their first EP in East Nashville in late May over two days, and released it via bandcamp in August 2014. The five song EP consists predominantly of two acoustic guitars, and two part harmonies with Connor singing the leads, and Matt accompanying. Dobro and piano are the only other accents on the recording, leaving the sound spare, with little more than is necessary to deliver the song. The lyrics hesitate to dip into the abstract, and instead paint the sound with ordinary images that allow the listener to arrive at something larger on their own.
