FREEEEEE… we will do our best to have a few BBQs going during the day so bring something to grill if you want… nothing like snacks and music!

doors at 11:30

noon – Saint Cecilia will serenade us over coffee and donuts. Sweetness and light served with a hot splash of wake-up!!!!

12:45 – Soft Sailors – Geoff Geis and crew bring their new musical project to the stage/floor of HR to help kick the second day in the butt, softly. Sail away with them.

1:30 – Daniel Brummel and Emily Lacy – the heavens open up, the soil sings… mechanical birds flitter and tweet… this is vocal folk for the yoga age… restful and swelling at the same time.

2:30 – Derek Monypeny – back in the day, this band came from Oakland called Oaxacan. They raged in such a mind-bending way that was unforgettable… Luckily the guitarist Derek came back and has played at HR both as a solo oudist (?) and with his newer collective ALTO! so it was a no brainer to have him join us again.

3:00 – Sahba Sizdahkhani – you will remember this name once you see this gentleman play his Persian santour.

4:00 – the Gift Machine – friends from San Diego up for a visit to our lovely city, bringing with them beautifully crafted songs of happy sadness.

5:00 – SheKhan – Kathleen Kim and Kelly Coats effortlessly combine instrumental virtuosity with knob twiddling craziness. Like Don Cherry for the techno age.

6:00 – Timonium – i am sorry, what year is it? well hold onto your pilows cuz Timonium is taking over HR for an hour, rocking like a granny on a porch. Dreamy shoe gaze the likes of which hasn’t walked this earth for 15 years.

7:15 – Voice on Tape – i like to heckle this guy, but it is only because i am so jealous of his songwriting craft, effortless guitar playing and super romantic voice.

and then there was JAZZ
