The DUHKS (DUCKS) Acoustic / Afro-beat / Folk Rock
The most vital acoustic music being made today acknowledges its predecessors
and lives in the here and now. For four years now, The Duhks, the band of five skilled, high-energy, tattooed twenty-somethings from Winnipeg, Manitoba, has been riveting audiences and winning staunch fans across North America and around the world with just that kind of music. The band has won admirers as diverse as David Crosby, Dolly Parton, and Doc Watson. This is not surprising, given their Duhks-alone blend of soul, gospel, North American folk, Brazilian samba, old time country string band, zydeco, and Irish dance music, and the attack they bring to these interwoven acoustic styles—which might as well be called sheer rock and roll.
Their unique sound has also earned them a Grammy Award nomination in the Best Country Vocal Performance by a Group or Duo category, one Juno Award, two additional Juno nominations, two Folk Alliance awards, and an Americana Music Association
with special guest Miss Major & her Minor Mood Swings

Walt Wilkins and the Mystiqueros
San Antonio-born Walt Wilkins has been called a genius, more than once, and a writer the caliber of John Steinbeck and his voice as comfortable as a pair of old blue jeans, and he is, and has, all of that. His crafting of story-songs, hard-edged vocals to sing them and a plaintive guitar have made him a fixture of the Texas music scene (and Nashville before that. He’s put his magical touch on recordings by new and veteran artists, too many to count. Wilkins says this is the most fun he’s ever had playing music in a band in 30 years. He describes the music of The Mystiqueros (nicknamed mq5) as highly reminiscent of ’70s country rock from Texas and the West Coast and blues and soul that members grew up listening to and features high-quality songwriting and musicianship, rhythm, and vocal arrangements.

Friday 6/20
Gina Sicilia (Blues & Soul)
"...unbelieveable voice... Her vocal chops and writing maturity certainly belies the fact that she is a mere twenty-two years of age!! ...there will be inevitable comparisons to Etta James and other great blues singers. But, Gina Sicilia's voice posessess such depth and breadth that she may indeed one day be mentioned alongside the giants in the blues idiom."
with Mike Zito and the Bluz Benderz

The Jeff & Vida Band
with special guest The Kasey Raush Trio
Sugar Maple Traditional Music Festival dances through the rain: New Orleans acoustic roots act Jeff & Vida, with bass ace Jimmy Sutton rounding out the sound, were the "perfect band for this type of day," according to Bill Malone, renowned country music historian and MC for Saturday's lineup. "You can tell it works," Malone said of the trio's appeal, "when you get that many people out on the dance floor."
