Chris Jones and the Night Drivers
Chris Jones & the Night Drivers make some of the most distinctively elegant yet driving bluegrass music heard anywhere today. Deeply rooted in tradition but never bound to it, they deliver original music with tight arrangements, emotional authenticity, and engaging humor. As actor and banjo player Steve Martin says, “Chris Jones’ voice is there with the great masters,” adding that the Night Drivers are “some of the best players in bluegrass.”
Lori King & Junction 63
Lori and her husband, Joe King, were previously part of Bluegrass Addiction prior to forming their award-winning band, Lori King and Junction 63. Located in the upper Midwest, the King’s debuted their band at the Bluegrass Music Association of Iowa 2nd Annual Des Moines Area Festival in February 2014. The band is well known for their traditional sounds and hard driving instrumentals, paired with midwestern determination and grit.
Dry Run Creek
A five piece band from the Cedar Valley playing all your country favorites! These performers are known throughout the community for hosting a good time with quality music. We couldn't think of a better band to join our lineup!
SpringStreet
SpringStreet started in 1990 as a dream of Mike Williams and Dan Nieto. They had gone to see Bill Monroe & The Bluegrass Boys perform at The Auditorium in Eureka Springs, AR. Inspired by this performance to start their own musical career, they chose the band name "SpringStreet" after the city street where The Auditorium was located. More than 30 years later, SpringStreet is still going strong entertaining folks all over the country.
The Bluegrass Blondies
The Bluegrass Blondies are a family of talented musicians and vocalists, providing audiences across the Midwest delightful entertainment experiences in a wholesome, family oriented style. Performing Traditional and Contemporary Bluegrass, Country, Old-Time, Traditional/Southern/Contemporary Gospel, Patriotic, Acapella, Comedy, and good ole’ down home fun – the Bluegrass Blondies provide entertainment for everyone!
The William Lawson Band
William started playing mandolin around 6 years old, after being
inspired by the sounds of bluegrass music since before he could
speak. At 16, William has already played on stage alongside greats like Bobby Osborne and Ricky Skaggs. He has won several competitions throughout the country. William can be found playing various festivals and events throughout the midwest.
