2:30PM - WOLF TONES
What do you get when you combine Pittsburgh bluegrass musicians who inexplicably find themselves forming a pack united by their love of acoustic string music, heady improv, weird sonic sensibility and obscure reggae tunes? You get The Wolf Tones.
Along the way — and true to our free-roaming wolf ancestors — the journey is unplanned. Sets can bounce from old-school Flatt & Scruggs to a grassed-up version of a Toots & the Maytals tune in the blink of an eye and the flick of a banjo string. The pack is always on the move, combining a repertoire of classic bluegrass with an adventurous improv spirit... and occasionally covering Ween and Davie Bowie. Or Harry Belafonte. Or a whole night of Jerry Garcia tunes. Or something a random audience member might yell out. We're wolves. We play bluegrass. It gets weird.
4:30PM - KNOB ROAD

6:30 - AMANDA FISH
Amanda's music has been described as "a from-the-gut vocals belting out impassioned lyrics over swampy guitar and rock-heavy drums, with a driving bassline that locks in a groove the audience can't help but dance to" and it currently has more than 220k streams on Spotify, with over 4k monthly listeners worldwide and growing. Her 2015 debut album "Down In The Dirt" won a 2016 "Sean Costello Rising Star" Blues Blast Music Award, while her 2018 album "Free" debuted at #6 on the Billboard Blues Chart and hit #4 on the iTunes Blues Album chart, and won a 2019 Blues Music Award in the category "Best Emerging Artist Album". A recent video of our band performing "Feels Like Rain" live. We've extensively toured the US and Canada as a trio, playing legendary stages like Knuckleheads (Kansas City), Chan's (Rhode Island), Ground Zero (Mississippi), Buddy Guy's Legends (Chicago), Funky Biscuit (Boca Raton, FL), The Blue Note (North Carolina), The Rhythm Room (Phoenix), Papa Turney's (Nashville), and Blues on Whyte (Edmonton, AB) just to name a few.
