Rachel Kate

Feisty Soul Folk

Rachel Kate is an outstanding songwriter with a voice that stretches easily from folk to blues queen. Inevitably, at least once in her set, I’m wiping a tear away – because goddamn, that woman has rivers of wonder and pain in her voice. Her album, “With Love and Hate”, was chosen by Moonrunners as their top album of 2013… – Patty Templeton – Show Review: MoonRunners 2014

Stefanie Santana

Singer/Songwriter/Uke

It’s the contradictions that make this Columbia songwriter so enticing: youthful uncertainty juxtaposed against subtle, literary craftsmanship; sprightly baritone ukulele strums matched with delicate fingerpicking and deftly light backing arrangements. Paired with clever and evocative lyrics, her songs will leave you wonderfully flummoxed. – Columbia Free Times

Cary Hudson Band

Mississippi Delta Roots Rock

“I played a Mardi Gras festival in Columbia, South Carolina, earlier this year – ironic considering that I live in New Orleans,” he says. “There are all of these bands full of young kids with electric guitars. Me and Drink Small [an 80-year-old S.C. blues legend] were pretty much the only two dudes playing solo acoustic sets. So when people tell me that rock is dead, I think of shows like that. Rock isn’t dead, and I’m not abandoning rock. I’m just shifting gears.” – interview with Cary Hudson, on transitioning from his former band, Blue Mountain, to a solo career

Captain Midnight

Waterbed Rock & Roll

The Captain Midnight Band creates “Water Bed Rock & Roll” for the mind, booty, and soul. Crunchy Rock Guitar, Soaring Vocal Harmonies, and thick R&B grooves create a sonic landscape for the band’s suggestive, Sci-Fi imagery and improvisational interplay. – Revernation bio

Captain Midnight – vocals, guitars
Lil Rae Rae – vocals, keys
Miss Siren – vocals
and their fabulously freaky friends

5:30pm

T.C. Costello

Accordion/World/Punk/Gypsy

World music with a punk punch is odd enough, but when it’s played on an accordion, a 1920s marxophone, or Laos’ national folk instrument, the khaen, that takes things to another level. – Elizabeth Pandolfi, Charleston City Paper
