Set 1: Caleb Elliott (Single Lock Records) and Austin Motlow.
Like the sprawling branches of a tenured Magnolia, Caleb Elliott’s sophomore album W**d, Wine & Time is beauty and grit personified.
Set 2: James LeBlanc (staff songwriter and recording artist for Fame Enterprises)
Born and raised in Shreveport, Louisiana. James picked up the guitar at age seven , inspired by his father, James Sr. By the time James was 18, he knew he wanted to make a life and living in the music business.
James' songs have been on records which have sold over 25 million copies.
Set 3: The Burney Sisters - The Burney Sisters are a powerhouse sibling duo redefining indie-folk with their soulful harmonies, heartfelt lyrics, and magnetic stage presence. Emma’s multi-instrumental talents—on piano, violin, guitar, and cello—pair seamlessly with Bella’s commanding basslines, showcasing a maturity and versatility far beyond their years. Their music explores themes of love, resilience, and self-discovery with a raw honesty that resonates deeply with fans of all ages.
Set 4: Steve Conn w/ Will McFarlane
No Depression wrote that “Steve Conn may be the best singer you’ve never heard.” But for those who have paid attention to his career for the past half century, Steve has been the benchmark for honest and soulful music. His lifelong search continues — poignant, humorous, and even heartbreaking at times — and we all get to listen to the unique rhythm he hears as he bares his truth for all to witness and invites us to join him in singing his song.
Set 5: Pat Huggins (pilot, lifelong songwriter, and longtime Village resident) with Will McFarlane (session guitarist and Nashville Musicians Hall of Fame inductee) and Jimmy Nutt (owner of The NuttHouse Recording Studio and Grammy and Juno award-winning producer and engineer).
Tickets are $10 each day (with an option to give more if you feel so inclined). Advance tickets are on sale now; tickets will be available at the door as well.
