This dynamic entertainer uses the genres of Blues, Soul, R&B, and a touch of Rock and Roll to deliver powerful soul stirring performances! Slam captures you with a voice that echoes Otis Redding, a guitar that immerses you in B. B. King and stage energy reminiscent of James Brown, all while captivating you with his own original music!

5:45PM- Deke Dickerson & the Whippersnappers – Deke Dickerson has devoted his long career to keeping America’s roots music alive while interjecting new creativity into genres of music that flourished in decades previous.

4PM- Steve Guyger – For over thirty years Steve Guyger has been honing his skills on the harmonica and delighting blues audiences worldwide. Steve was one of our main stage headliners at our first annual Roots & Rhythm in 2006.

2:15PM- Roberta Faceplant – Roberta Faceplant is a honky tonk hurricane with a voice that blends the raw, rock n’ roll grit of Janis Joplin and the whimsical, western smoothness of Patsy Cline.
