Thacker Dairy Road - 10 PM
Winner of Ziggy's very last Battle of the Bands, Thacker Dairy Road is making waves
locally and regionally. The band's sound is an eclectic mix of styles, making it hard
to place it in one specific genre. Lead singer Molly McGinn says, "We've heard
Southern funk, which is pretty good. We've also heard winsome backwoods funk. I
guess for myself it's kind of a combination of the fiddle and keyboards, which are a
pretty unlikely combination, and it's highly improvisational, and it's jazz, and we're
just playing our hearts out."

The New Familiars - 6 PM
From the foothills of North Carolina a new musical combo has appeared, grown
from seeds of the folk, blues, and bluegrass found abundant in their native lands
and nurtured by the phenomenal breadth of genres and styles that have bloomed
and withered over the last 50 years in American music. These five gentlemen
combine an amazing passion for harmony and dissonance with multi-instrumental
talent and an unusual ability for storytelling. Writing folk music from the core - of
the people, by the people, and for the people.

the everybodyfields - 8 PM
From Johnson City, TN, the everybodyfields are rapidly gaining a reputation as the
front-runners of the newest generation of the alt-country movement. They offer
melancholic interpretations of universal human stories set to achingly beautiful
melodies. The members cite their influences as country, rock and roll, and folk.
Fronted by Sam Quinn and Jill Andrews, the two share instruments and seamlessly
merge their wildly different voices. Quinn's echoing twang reverberates like a long-
lost radio broadcast and provides a hard edge to Andrews pure, soothing tones.
