2:30-3:30 pm: The Whole Fam Damily - the trio of Jana Castañares, her husband Alonzo Garbanzo, and their daughter Siena Christie. Alonzo and Siena are guitarists, Jana plays occasional ukulele, and all three are singers of music across many styles and time periods— medieval to current!  Stephen Foster to Gershwin to Lead Belly to Lil Nas X!   As well, Siena and Alonzo are prolific songwriters.  As sometimes happens in families, their three voices are different individually, but when they harmonize a beautiful blend happens.

3:45-4:30 pm: Eugenia Riot - Portland, Oregon based songwriter Leigh Jones dazzles once again with her latest folk creation: Eugenia Riot. An internationally touring musician with a background in theater, Jones delights audiences with her irresistible stage presence and enrapturing voice, which is reminiscent of Alison Krauss. She has spoken at the US Embassy in Ethiopia on Women in Music, was selected with her former band Crow and the Canyon for the American Music Abroad program, and has toured the US from coast to coast since 2010. A self-examining journey through the crescendos of love and heartache, Eugenia Riot’s debut album “Can’t Wait To Miss You” is at once gentle and fierce, playful and romantic – an engaging blend of folk, rock, and Americana.
