William Elliott Whitmore - July 17 - 6 pm
William Elliott Whitmore has been building a reputation as an absolutely stirring live performer able to convert crowds with just his banjo and voice. Creative Loafing stated, "Whitmore writes songs as honest as Abe Lincoln, takes to the road to share these songs with rooms full of people who've likely never heard of them, and turns these strangers into fanatics nightly," while the Seattle Times offered, "You hear the diesel engine growl of his voice, the century of blues and folk tradition behind his banjo-driven stomps, the everyday relevance of his lyrics, and you succumb.

The Pines With June Panic - July 24 - 6 pm
The David Wax Museum was recently dubbed one of the top ten bands that rocked the SXSW Festival this year in Austin, TX. This Boston-based group has formed a style not to be heard anywhere else. David Wax Museum fuses Mexican roots, American folk, and indie rock, creating an exuberant, jarana-strumming, donkey jawbone-whacking, accordion-pumping sensation. The David Wax Museum has toured with The Avett Brothers and the Old 97’s and were featured on NPR’s All Songs Considered.

The David Wax Museum - August 7 - 6 pm
Recently anointed Boston's Americana Artist of the Year (2010 Boston Music Awards), the David Wax Museum has been called "pure, irresistible joy" (Bob Boilen, NPR) and hailed by TIME.com for its "virtuosic harmonies." It is no surprise that its acclaimed performance at the 2010 Newport Folk Festival was hailed as one of the highlights of the entire weekend by NPR. The Museum fuses traditional Mexican folk with American roots and indie rock to create an utterly unique Mexo-Americana aesthetic.

She Keeps Bees - August 21 - 6 pm
Brooklyn-based She Keeps Bees have been recorded and released music made at home since 2006. The Guardian said that "they're like the White Stripes in reverse." Drowned in Sound said of Larrabee that "she has amazing control over her vocals, able to simultaneously be fiery and reserved, seductive and vaguely crude", and fellow Brooklyn musician Sharon Van Etten said "she has one of the best voices I have ever heard and she has more soul in one finger than most female singers have in our scene." The New York Times's ArtsBeat compared her to PJ Harvey, but added that "far from Ms. Harvey’s theatrical poise, Ms. Larrabee is loose, vehement and unchoreographed, jittering around the stage."
