Noon: Clancy's Angels
Clancy’s Angels are a power choir supergroup of 20 singers and musicians who ignite 1970’s rock anthems with gospel spirit and reverence and as much passion as an orchestra would performing Bach or a cast performing Shakespeare.

Described as "Woodstock re-envisioned in your own back yard." 20 singers and musicians tackling 70's rock anthems with enthusiasm. Sounds like something to see.

1 PM: Lisa B. & Audiolava
"Moody, groovy jazz-influenced trip-hop."
