Sunday's Schedule:
The Low Anthem: Performance from 1:00 - 2:00

The Low Anthem formed as a professional band in 2006 in Providence, RI. The founding members were Ben Miller and Jeff Prystowsky who were brought together by their mutual interests in Americana, baseball, and morally agnostic narrative. Classical composer Jocie Adams joined them in November 2007 and drummer, trumpeter and keys player, Cyrus Scofield has also recently joined the band.

Jim’s Big Ego: Performance from 2:15 - 3:30
Jim's Big Ego - the only result of a Google search for "the Greatest Band in the History of Recorded Music." Jim Infantino, Daniel Cantor, and Jesse Flack have carved a unique place in the the music world by rocking harder, fresher, louder, sweeter and better than everyone else.

Northern Lights: Performance from 3:45 - 5:00
From 1990's "Take You to the Sky," to 2005's "New Moon" (Fifty-Fifty Music), Northern Lights has fused an eclectic mix of traditional roots music, rock, country, soul and gospel with the high, lonesome vocal sound and instruments of bluegrass. Founded in 1975, the band members have changed over the years; the current quintet continues the band's traditions and continues to often play with guest artists.
