Dustin Elliot & The Broken Radio
Dustin Elliot & The Broken Radio
Dustin Elliott and The Broken Radio are influenced by greats such as Waylon, Hank, and Del Reeves just as much as by the modern sounds of Sturgill, Hank 3, and Charley Crockett, all seen through the eyes of a one-time kid playing punk rock. “Punk rock and the outsiders of country music have always been strange bedfellows. They pave their own way and follow their own path. Our main goal as a band is to carry on that independent spirit and classic tradition of Country & Western music. Seeing hard working people forget the work week and dance the night away is success in our book. Elliott is currently working on his debut album, Nickels & Dimes set for release in the Summer of ‘23.
5 - 6p The Know Bodies Band
The Know Bodies Band
The Know Bodies Band is about music and dancing and fearless love of dirty old humanity. Grit makes a pearl. A hi hat makes a hip shake. When working class people make music it is this raucous communion. The Know Bodies tip their hats to soulsters of yesteryear, ska looters and shooters, punk rockers, African jazzmen, Celtic bards and rock rolling surfer B-movers and shakers. When asked about their musical influences they simply say.. « Yes, we are under the influence. J.T. rips bluesy Hammond/ piano riffs, Innocent Joe injects the hat snare kickdrum dance imperative, Jessie the authentic, time served in Africa percussion, Curtis Holland brings the classy horns and flute, Travis the essential guitar earthquakes and Ryan uses world weary bitterness and triumph and laughter and love to fashion tragicomedy verse. You made us…so now you have to join us.
6:30 - 7:30p Echo Monday

8:00-10:00p Ponder the Albatross
Ponder the Albatross
Somewhere in the eternal vastness of space and time, somewhere upon a westward wind, there is a point where Gypsy Punk, Jam Band, and New Grass collide with cosmic force. That point is Ponder the Albatross.
The "Ponder Phenomenon" is given its drive and force by Josh Bower's ecstatic mandolin, guitar and vocals, Luke Lindholm's searing fiddle; ably abetted by Eric Vrtis' whisking wave of bass & vocals, and Adam Chiszar's symphonic symmetry on the drums.
Every song, every show, every performance, is masterfully executed with the frenetic abandon of a Dervish whirling in a swirling mystical haze that impels audiences to engage and become active participants in the shared experience.
