The Bonafides

Saturday 10/11 at 11:00am

The Bonafides are a group of friends from New Bern, NC, having a blast while playing songs they love. With acoustic and electric guitars, mandolin, fiddle, bass, drums, banjo, harmonicas and soaring harmonies, our musical tastes range far and wide. Need some Carter Family classics? Check. Old Crow Medicine Show? We gotchu. Old-time fiddle and banjo tunes? We can go for days. ZZ Top? Yup, with banjo and extra crunchy electric mandolin thrown in for flavor. You’ll hear songs you haven’t heard in a while, and songs you’ve never heard played like this before.

Winyah

Saturday 10/11 at 1:00pm

Hailing from a small South Carolina beach town, Winyah emerged onto the music scene in early 2023 and has swiftly made their mark. They've shared stages with acclaimed artists such as The Red Clay Strays, The Vegabonds, and The Stews, while also shredding festivals like Bonnaroo. Winyah's live performances are a testament to their distinctive blend of indie and southern rock, featuring electrifying guitar solos and soulful vocals reminiscent of icons like Led Zeppelin, The Backseat Lovers, and flipturn. The band draws its name from Winyah Bay, a cherished landmark in their hometown where all five members spent their formative years. Their music is a reflection of the five rivers that converge into Winyah Bay, capturing the eternal summer vibes of their coastal upbringing. On the surface, Winyah delivers youthful energy and raw power, but their music also delves into themes of nostalgia and the bittersweet longing for childhood memories and cherished photos.

Harvey Street Co.

Saturday 10/11 at 3:30pm

Harvey Street is derived from both alt/indie inspiration and the southern melodies surrounding its members since birth. Described as “disciplined electricity,” singles such as “Irish Goodbye” and “Betty” became instant classics in their hometown of Raleigh, NC. Through the release of their debut EP “Gone for a While,” Harvey Street cultivated a sound resonating with show-goers and music-lovers all throughout the Southeast. Building momentum with sold out shows from everywhere from New York to Colorado, the band relentlessly toured the country in 2024 after the release of their EP “Great Escape.” Forging ahead, Harvey Street released single “Back for a While” in 2025, its most progressive track to date, sharing the stage with notable acts such as Moon Taxi, Futurebirds, The Stews, Arcy Drive, Daniel Donato, Winyah, Penelope Road, and Stop Light Observations along the way.

Nether Hour

Saturday 10/11 at 6:00pm

Down in the heart of Austin, TX, where the music runs thicker than the heat, there’s a band that’s been making some serious noise. They call themselves Nether Hour, and they’ve been turning every dive bar and backroad juke joint into a full-blown musical revival. The band is a trio of unapologetic rebels, each one a powerhouse of sonic defiance. Bobby Flaco delivers gritty vocals and razor-sharp guitar riffs, while Bishop unleashes searing lead guitar and mandolin work, with Bercy laying down bass lines that slam right into your gut. Nether Hour is a relentless sonic melting pot, fusing the swampy grooves of Louisiana with Texas-sized doses of funk, blues, soul, and rock ‘n’ roll.
