The venue's sit down restaurant will also be open during the event.

Juke Joint Johnnys
"This high energy band is guaranteed to keep the joint shaking."

Chrome Daddies
"Rockabilly meets the blues in the grease pit of a hot rod shop."

Stage 1

8:00~9:00

"Take Donnie's stinging guitar tone, Josh's funky bass and Coojee's unique syncopation, filter it through open minds and you have one hot unit."

Shakey Shaun's Intemperate Few
"Front man extraordinaire Shakey Shaun had the whole house in a sweat drenched frenzy."
