SONS OF WILLIAM -July 17
Rock is clearly a beloved touchstone for this Louisiana trio, who favor bold anthems built around chiming guitars, sturdy hooks and simple choruses elevated by their performance dynamics and melodic sense.
Named for their dad, Bill, Sons of William brothers Joe and David Stark describe their music as, “steeped in traditional rock n' roll songwriting and simplicity.”

Jen Jane', another south Louisiana native, rounds out the band with soulful chops and vocals, and undeniable stage presence.
Sons of WIliam have played with Alternate Routes, Josh Kelley, the Clarks and Pat Mcgee, to name a few.

ENTER THE HAGGIS - July 18
There aren't many groups in North America who could lay claim to possibly 18 different genres of music, but Toronto 's Enter The Haggis is one of them. To engage this quintet is to indulge rock, fusion, bluegrass, traditional Celtic fare, agitpop, folk, even Latin flavors. Sounds awfully confused, right? Wrong. ETH is one of those rare jewels that actually pulls it all off as if to own everything.

ROOMFUL OF BLUES - July 19
Roomful of Blues, according to Down Beat magazine, "is in a class by themselves."

ROB is a horn-driven band that plays up-tempo blues influenced by big band sound and characterized by driving rhythms and shouted, highly syncopated vocals. (Their horn section has played with Stevie Ray Vaughan, Pat Benatar, Colin James and Mitch Woods, to name just a few.)

This eight-piece unit has always been one of the tightest, most joyful ensembles in the world. Roomful of Blues' winning combination of jump, swing, blues, R&B and soul remains their calling card, as does their ability to fill the dance floor. Visit www.roomful.com.
