Carter & Davis Band is a new culmination created by two of the Pretty Little Goat Band members, Josh Carter (Mandolin) and Barrett Davis (Guitar). Both masters of their craft in old-time music and both growing up in Western North Carolina, Carter & Davis formed this side band to get a little more raucous and rowdy. The Carter & Davis Band will have us dancing and howling the moon out in broad daylight!

The Resonant Rogues craft fresh songs from a variety of vintage styles. With a passion for folk music that spans continents and oceans, the Rogues weave the threads of old-time, country, and swing into a beautiful tapestry that simultaneously showcases tradition and innovation.

Opener, Lindsay Holler hails from Charleston, SC - a singer, songwriter with a crushing voice.

A native of Milwaukee, Wisconsin, Kinney formed Drivin N Cryin with bassist Tim Nielsen and drummer Paul Lenz after moving to Atlanta, Georgia in 1985. Kinney and his bandmates remained a part of the Atlanta underground rock scene until the album Fly Me Courageous, and its hit-single title track, brought them to a national audience on mainstream rock radio. A prolific songwriter, collaborator and performer, Kinney has been noted for his numerous side projects throughout his career, all while keeping Drivin N Cryin an active band. As a solo artist, he recorded the 1990 folk rock album MacDougal Blues with members of R.E.M., and the 2000 album The Flower & the Knife with various members of the jam-band scene, including Warren Haynes and John Popper. Starting in 2002, he formed the project "Sun Tangled Angel Revival" (S.T.A.R.) to release Americana and roots rock music. In 2011, Kinney released an album with The Golden Palominos, a long-standing musical collaborative project headed by Anton Fier.

Opener, 54 Bicycles is a Widespread Panic cover band formed in Charleston as a side band for a group of musicians and fans of Widespread. Rare Bird Farm’s very own, Mitchell Davis is the lead singer and it is a dream come true for them to open for Kinney. They don’t play very often but when they do, they play hard!

Michael Flynn is a singer/songwriter most often found yodeling his way through the hills of Saluda NC. His songs have been featured on shows like Grey’s Anatomy and Shameless, and on commercials for useful products like cars and shampoo. Michael Flynn
