Main Stage: Friday's artists

Lone Derangers, 4-5 p.m.
Noted for great harmonies and unique arrangements on both their originals and covers, this local favorite plays an eclectic repertoire that embraces Americana and Folk/Rock.

Woody & The Stragglers, 5:30-6:45 p.m.
Woody & the Stragglers have been rocking the Southeast for more than a decade. Their rootsty stew of Western Swing, Boogie-Woogie and vintage Rock ‘n Roll with a pinch of Cajun and Latin spice will set the mood for the evening.

Geoff Achison, 7:15-8:45 p.m..
Equal parts New Orleans Funk, driving Blues, jazzy Soul and Outback mojo, this Southern-fried musician (that is “southern” Australia) is a jaw-dropping, crowd-pleasing guitar virtuoso with rich soulful vocals. His music has been featured on both CNN and NPR. Achison’s band, The Souldiggers, consists of the Mighty Yonrico Scott on drums (Derek Trucks Band), bass player Ted Peccio (Susan Tedeschi) and special guest Randall Bramblett!!! “Possibly one of the most gifted musicians to arrive on the scene ... his playing verges on the miraculous.” The Times, London - UK

The Belleville Outfit , 9:15-11 p.m.
Get to the stage early to get a good spot. The core of this Austin phenomenon sprang from Spartanburg’s very own and very popular DesChamps Band. Now joined with other remarkable musicians, they have grown into one of the most sought after bands on the Americana scene. Their last CD, “Time to Stand,” was #9 on WNCW’s Top 100 of 2009. As soon as they hit the stage, The Belleville Outfit’s mix of swing, country, jazz, gypsy and blues will have you swingin’ and swayin’ and singin’ along.  “… the sextet (The Belleville Outfit) is one of Austin’s most musically accomplished and adventuresome, mixing gypsy swing, big-band jazz, a touch of bluegrass and some Walter Hyatt covers into a unique mix that flows like a whiskey river.” - The Austin Chronicle
