Noon – Opening Ceremonies

2:00 PM – Jason Didner and the Jungle Gym Jam (Kids Rock n’ Roll)
A typical scene for the band includes a toddler shaking a maraca with a huge smile on his face. A young mother rocks an infant in time with the music. A tween boy and his dad share a laugh and a smile over a funny lyric that caught them off-guard.
Jason Didner and the Jungle Gym Jam have created a sound centered on the driving rock-n-roll that’s been compared to Bruce Springsteen, The Ramones and “Elvis Costello in a particularly good mood.” Because we as adults play the kind of music we love to hear, we’ve been able to take fellow parents along for the ride.
4:15 PM – Sons of Pirates (Beach Music)
Since 1998, audiences from all over the Mid Atlantic have been enjoying the hot summer sounds of Sons of Pirates. Sometimes billed as a Jimmy Buffett tribute band, SOP is much more, playing the beach music of Buffett, Marley, Zac Brown and splashing in classic hits from Eagles, James Taylor and BNL as well as many more.
SOP promises every show is like a party at the beach.
6:30 PM – Damn the Torpedoes (Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers Tribute)
Damn the Torpedoes are the ultimate tribute to Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers, mesmerizing audiences since 2007. Each member takes pride in playing the extensive Tom Petty catalogue live while sounding, acting and looking as closely as possible to the real thing. Whether performing note for note renditions of the studio recordings or engaging the audience with actual live versions of Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers performances, patrons and venues can be assured that Damn the Torpedoes will deliver the "AWE" factor every time.

City Slicker Band brings out the best in everyone they work with and will deliver a performance you can listen to, sing to, and will definitely make you want to get on the dance floor.
3:15 PM – Olivia Lane
If there’s one thing that stands out about Olivia Lane, it’s her pure, unbridled energy. Lane’s been following her dream since she was a small child, singing songs for her parents in their Houston living room. Her sound is a combination of country elements – mandolin, banjo, lyrics sweetly laced with Texas twang – with a pop energy and locomotive rhythms that capture her ever-moving spirit.
5:15 PM – Davisson Brothers Band
The Davisson Brothers Band has a unique style, fusing a blend of country, southern rock, and bluegrass to create a distinctive sound. That remarkable sound, combined with the band's talent and energy, has gained them an incredibly loyal and rapidly growing fan base. Brothers Donnie and Chris Davisson, cousin Sammy Davisson, and life-long best friend Aaron Regester are continuing musical pursuits started by the Davisson family long ago. In DBB, one can’t help but hear the resounding influence of a life raised in music.
7:15 PM – Cam
A fresh and heartfelt new force in country music that feels like home and sounds like the truth. Cam’s country roots trace back to her grandparents ranch in Southern California: imagine palm trees, horses, a blue barn and a tractor named Big Red. Her storyteller lyrics walk a romantic line between worldly wisdom and Disney charm, and judging by her fan base this sort of thing appeals to all of us. Her songwriting cuts have spanned between country and pop.
