Featured Acts A Brother’s Revival (Headliner) Led by David “Rook” Goldflies (Allman Brothers Band) and Mike Kach (Dickey Betts & Great Southern), A Brother’s Revival reaches deep into the music of the Allman Brothers Band—the pioneers of the jam band sound—and brings their legendary style roaring back. With high-energy performances of classics like “Ramblin’ Man,” “Jessica,” “Midnight Rider,” “Whipping Post,” and “Blue Sky,” the band delivers extended improvisations, dual guitar harmonies, and soulful vocals that honor the original while adding a fresh, contemporary edge.
Divided Sky A dynamic tribute to Phish, Divided Sky delivers the band’s adventurous spirit with favorites like “You Enjoy Myself,” “Bouncing Around the Room,” “Tweezer,” “Down with Disease,” and “Divided Sky.” Their sets blend faithful renditions with spontaneous improvisation, creating a true Phish-style experience.
Touch of Grey, beloved among Deadheads, brings the music of the Grateful Dead to life with authentic instrumentation and harmonies. Fans can expect classics such as “Touch of Grey,” “Scarlet Begonias,” “Friend of the Devil,” “Sugar Magnolia,” and “Truckin’.” Their shows mix fan favorites with deeper cuts, creating a communal, dance-friendly atmosphere.
Animal Instincts blends psychedelic rock, funk, and fusion, delivering groove-driven originals and jam-inspired performances influenced by artists like The Meters, Frank Zappa, and Gov’t Mule. Their tight rhythms and improvisational flair keep audiences moving from the first note to the last.
