FRI JUL 7

FRI JUN 30 Phoebe Hunt & The Gatherers Austin singer-songwriter and accomplished fiddle player Phoebe Hunt intertwines elements of Texas swing, jazz, Americana and (impressively) exotic rhythmic concepts from India into dazzling compositions. Her soulful, plaintive voice organically breathes these seemingly disparate elements into raw and vulnerable songs of an entangled ego, the nature of forgiveness, and the quiet exhalation of ritualizing the everyday. Just named by Rolling Stone one of “10 New Country Artists You Need to Know.” 8:00 p.m. Early Bird through 6/23: $15. Regular: $20

LIVE MUSIC & SHOWS

Geils high energy sound and distinctive style of rhythm & blues and rock & roll. Shun Ng’s flamboyant technique and hypnotic groove won him Boston Music Awards’ “International Artist of The Year” and the Songwriters Hall of Fame prestigious “Holly Prize.” 8:00 p.m. Early Bird through 6/4: $15. Regular: $20

WED JUL 5 Travis Meadows This outdoor concert in the wide open meadows of a local ranch features a Nashville underground musician, true artist and unforgettable performer. Travis raises chills with his raspy-voiced storytelling and heartrending confessionals. His rawness rises up from a deep well of honesty, chiseled through pain and loss, death and rebirth. Travis’ songs have been recorded by country music icons and rockers alike such as Lynyrd Skynyrd, Hank Williams Jr. and Wynonna Judd. Cash bar available. 7:00 p.m. $20 VIP tickets through Tour de Forks are $200. See the “Culinary & Vintner Arts” section of this program for more details.

Deemed a National Cultural Treasure, the Cleo Parker Robinson Dance Ensemble is a cultural immersion with an explosive body of works inspired by the African American experience and black dance traditions.

Celebrating the troupe’s 47th Anniversary Season, “Bamboula: Musicians’ Brew” explores the profound parallels between the masking customs of New Orleans and Capetown, South Africa. “MictlanRx” investigates the struggles of the Afro-Mestizo culture of Mexico to withstand the onslaught of the 21st century world.

LIVE MUSIC & SHOWS

SUN JUL 9 The HillBenders present The Who’s Tommy: A Bluegrass Opry The HillBenders are known for their high-octane bluegrass shows, full of rawness and intensity. Now, the quintet fully realizes The Who’s classic rock opera, Tommy, bringing the same energy and vision as Pete Townshend did with a full rock band and orchestra. The original album needed the right band to pull off this high wire bluegrass approach, and with the perfect mix of virtuoso musicianship and rock star vocals, The HillBenders are it.

SAT JUL 15 Trevor Hall: A Night in the Village

Trevor Hall’s “A Night in the Village” is an intimate evening of multimedia storytelling, with images of the places and tales of the muses enlightening his music’s inspiration and source. Trevor’s music, a blend of roots and folk music with hints of inspiration from India, has led him to a series of sold-out tours and collaborations with artists such as The Wailers, Matisyahu, Michael Franti, Xavier Rudd and Nahko & Medicine for the People. 8:00 p.m.

They’ve got their own twist on New Orleans’ musical traditions of feverinducing funk, dancing-in-thestreet second lines, jazzy soul-drenched horns, and mindmelting swamp hoodoo. 8:00 p.m.

Armed with a guitar, harmonica and voice, his signature techniques in allusion rise from great novelists and poets such as Walt Whitman and John Steinbeck.

FRI AUG 25 Sierra Hull

SAT AUG 26 DJ Sean Back to School Party Come let it all hang out at a full blown dance party celebrating the end of summer.

Born and raised on the South Side of Chicago, DJ Sean began spinning tunes at 15. From that time forward he committed himself to two things: to never DJ using a computer, and to always make tight transitions from one song to another, guiding dancers through an experience of non-stop music seamlessly blended together.

Ages 18 and up. 9:00 p.m. Early Bird through 8/19: $10. Regular: $15

SAT SEP 16 Cornmeal

LIVE MUSIC & SHOWS

Virtuoso mandolin player and ethereal tone-true vocalist Sierra Hull publically entered the bluegrass world as a teen prodigy on the Grand Ole Opry stage with Grammy-winning artist Alison Krauss. Her newest album (produced by Bèla Fleck) introduces Sierra as a composer and lyricist with a genre-transcending soundscape claiming bluegrass at its roots, but finding its wings in original music that rings with both harmony and dissonance. 8:00 p.m. Early Bird through 8/17: $20. Regular: $25

Cornmeal is the rockin’ slam-grass hoedown with high energy bluegrass you’re looking for. Both traditional and unconventional, it’s grounded in mainstay influences from David Grisman to John Hartford, yet unafraid to venture into a hybridized dance-grass styling that also includes the Talking Heads, Paul Simon and the Grateful Dead. A jam approach to their exploratory live performances whips audiences into a limb-rousing frenzy with expert musicianship, lightning fast tempos and impeccable harmonies. 8:00 p.m. Regular: $20

FRI SEPT 22

Dale Pale Ale Presents

Steep Canyon Rangers A bluegrass band at their core, the Steep Canyon Rangers effortlessly walk the line between festival favorite and sophisticated string orchestra. They’re as danceable as the most progressive, party-oriented string band, and equally comfortable translating their songs for accompaniment by a full symphony. Their beautifully haunting penchant for yearning high harmonies, rollicking banjo-driven duets, serious chops, and good-natured fun earned them a Grammy for Best Bluegrass in 2013.

8:00 p.m. Early Bird through 9/17: $35.
