1:00pm – 2:45pm DRYMILL ROAD (Bluegrass) http://www.drymillroad.com/ This four piece band from Winchester, Virginia is popular up and down the East Coast and Canada for crafting old-timey newgrass/bluegrass with upbeat instrumentation and fantastic harmonizing vocals. They perform high energy and heartfelt original material, with a good mix of traditional music and “not so” traditional takes on Led Zeppelin, Hank Williams, Bob Dylan, and the Beatles…to name a few. The band brings a full-blown entertainment experience with some very different blends of old, new, traditional, with some surprising twists and turns.

Seven piece band – Voted the Best Blues Band in the Mid-Atlantic Region 12 years in a row, the Kelly Bell Band from Baltimore, Maryland is “among the most genre-expanding acts on today’s blues scene. Who else can combine elements of hip-hop, funk, and blues-electrified here, Delta there, horn driven elsewhere – and still manage to sound sincere? A forward view of the way blues is transitioning in today’s scene…Bell’s an honest poet and an outstanding singer with lots to say. ” Blues Revue Magazine.
