10 a.m. - Ben L'Oncle Soul - Levitate
Ben The Soul Uncle, as his stage name translates to English, is a French soul singer and songwriter. He took his name from Uncle Ben's rice and the fictious bow-tied character of the brand. This dreamy new track is off his latest album titled "Is It You?"
11 a.m. - Aaron Frazer - Looking For A Brand New Game
This Brooklyn-based, Baltimore-raised songwriter first came into the international spotlight as multi-instrumentalist and co-lead singer for Durand Jones & The Indications. His unique voice and higher register evoke an earlier era of mid-60's soul.

4 p.m. - Pony Bradshaw - Foxfire Wine
Pony Bradshaw's songs and lyrics have tended to focus on places, regions, and local history, songwriting trends he continues with his latest album "North Georgia Rounder". But as the album title suggests, it’s also about life on the road: in taverns, in vans, sleeping on floors, and meeting good folks across the country.
5 p.m. - Flow Tribe - Oops Upside Your Head
This carnival song by New Orleans-based Flow Tribe calls out the sounds and energy of the Mardi Gras parades that culminated earlier this week on Fat Tuesday.

Caleb Hawley is a Harlem based singer, songwriter, and producer who records his upbeat tunes alone in his storage-unit-turned-recording-studio, where he says the acoustics and the rent work well for him. His raw lyrics and somber themes are sweetened by pop beats, androgynous vocals, and sensuality inspired by the Minneapolis sound of the 80s and dance rock.
8 p.m. - Nick Schnebelen - What Key Is Trouble In?
In 2008, as part of the Kansas-City based band Trampled Under Foot, he was awarded the Albert King Award for “Best Guitarist” by the Blues Music Awards.
