Opening Band - John Floridis
"First and foremost I am a musician. I love the sound of an acoustic guitar in its most naked form, but I also love the sound of it plugged in and feeding back. I want to captivate people with all the components of my music—the vocals, the words and the pure manipulation of sound." —J.F.

DJ Lee says, "like the blues, our music is a combination of rural and urban influences, of the street and of the church, the north and the south."
