Big Bang Bluegrass band : The 5 musicians stand out from other “bluegrass” groups by their energy and their facetious communication with the public.

Sunday August 15 12:30 p.m. : Barbecue + Gospel hour
In the purest tradition of Bluegrass and Old-Time festivals, we invite you to share this “chill and family” moment on Sunday morning, so that the party-goers wake up gently while the barbecue sets up: a concert around this immense repertoire that is “mountain gospel” with vocal harmonies and traditional accompaniment of old time, bluegrass, Cajun, or folk depending on who is on stage! Leopoldine (Sacred Harp specialist), Camille (music historian), and Stephanie We will invite musicians and the public to share these songs that everyone knows from near or far, for a moment of secular and joyful Sunday poetry.
Sunday August 15 3:00 p.m. :
Sweet River Band : These five musicians from Nantes, with rich and varied experiences and influences but well rooted in Uncle Sam, offer a repertoire Americana which combines the solid traditional with the playful modern, without forgetting the always mischievous little wink. Video
