Why should I come see you at the festival? We will be playing Friday night in the Dance Tent with the exceptional dance caller Shawn Brenneman. We are a high-energy dance band, and Shawn is such a good caller that anyone can be dancing within minutes, whether they are a beginner or an experienced dancer. And, this will be a good way to work off some of the festival food and beer you consumed during the day.

When will you be playing? Friday night, Dance Tent, 10-11:30 p.m.

What are you most looking forward to about playing at FloydFest? We have played a few other festivals already this year, and this will be our first appearance at FloydFest. So, we are excited.
