Entertainment Lineup:

Saturday, September 20th

11:00 - 1:00 Karl Stoll and the Danger Zone

Karl Stoll & The Danger Zone is a tight four-piece houserockin' blues band from northern Viriginia featuring Karl Stoll on guitar, John Dickson on harmonica, Hugh McGuire on bass and Brian Alpert on drums.  The music is a fun, danceable mix of rock & roll, blues, and rockabilly influenced by the contemporary blues sounds of Stevie Ray Vaughan, George Thorogood, The Nighthawks, and The Fabulous Thunderbirds as well as the early rock & roll of The Beatles, Elvis and Chuck Berry.  You won't hear typical classic rock covers.  But, you will rock... dangerously!

1:30 - 3:30 The Freddie Long Band

The Freddie Long Band is a t-shirt and jeans blend of pop, rock, soul and honesty. Recently nominated for 3 Washington, D.C. Area Music Association (WAMA) awards including "Best New Artist; "Best Debut Recording" and "Best Rock Instrumentalist." There first CD, "Strangers and Friends" won Indie-Music.com's "Top 25 Albums of 2007. The bands original music keeps people on their feet from young to old. 

4:00 - 6:00 Jah Works (Voted Best Reggae Group)

























Jah Works is based on a love and respect for Jamaican music and culture. It is this sentiment which gave birth to Jah Works and has become the thread which has kept them together for 11 years and counting. While their music is clearly more "reggae" than any other style, as US natives they've always added their own flavor to the mix.

Only one month after the final Jah Works lineup was established, they took to the studio. That initial spark of energy was captured in 1994's Feast or Famine. It became an instant local hit and starting a priceless word-of-mouth buzz in the Baltimore/DC area.

In 1996, they had the opportunity to work with famed reggae and dub engineer Scientist on their second release Send the Rain. In 1998, they refined their reggae skills once more on Taking Off Tomorrow with renowned reggae engineer Jim Fox at Lion & Fox Studios. Each year the band built upon the foundation of the previous one.

Jah Works takes pride in their ability to play many styles. While their first love is for roots-reggae, they also play dancehall. At a live show, it's not uncommon to hear original lyrics over a hip-hop rhythm either. Switching and combining styles has given the band a unique appeal amongst reggae listeners and non-reggae listeners alike.

DXP blends a unique combination of traditional Irish music with American country and blues, folk and rock, rhythm and funk, which John O'Regan of Roots Magazine calls, "...creative ferocity not seen since The Clash's London Calling period."

"Sol Creech Band lays down a heavy groove! Sol fluently tears out rock, blues, reggae, and jazz, delivered with deep soul." - Tim Duffy, President- Music Maker

"Sol Creech Band has been creeping up on the music scene- far and wide-like a ring in the bathtub- down and dirty....you just can't wipe it away. These guys play music like they are giving you, yes YOU, a huge loving hug. It is personal and you can feel it. Are you ready to feel it? "-Carleton- Plaisted Press
