Tom Paxton

Aug 21, 2011 - 4:00pm

Main stage

The Levon Helm Band

Aug 21, 2011 - 4:00pm

Justin Townes Earle

Aug 19, 2011 - 7:30pm

Justin Townes Earle is an anomaly. He’s tall as the day is long, all angles and elbows and a hard stare, both welcoming and deadly serious. He’s Nashville North, all set up in lower Manhattan now, just like his hero Woody Guthrie, with twang and charm intact.
