The GroovaLottos (Soul-Funk)
In the heart of New England, a musical revelation was born. The GroovaLottos, a soul-funk-Afrobeats jam band, emerged from the synergy of seasoned touring players and studio maestros, reshaping musical
traditions into a dynamic fusion that transcends genres. Their story began with jam sessions, evolved into rehearsals, and swiftly ignited the stages of bars, clubs, events, and festivals.

Long Time Traveling (American roots and traditional music)
This talented group of Wellfleet-based musicians are husband and wife duo Jim Rohrer and Katie Hickey (along with amazing violinist Alice Malone). They perform traditional and contemporary acoustic music with
roots in old-time country, Southern gospel, and bluegrass. Katie and Jim’s musical partnership goes back to the 1980s and their days together in the Boston area bluegrass scene. Their close harmony
singing is supported by Jim’s guitar, mandolin, and banjo playing, and by Alice’s violin accompaniment.

Sarah Swain and the Oh Boys
(Rootsy Americana Alt Country)
Sarah Swain & the Oh Boys have been together since 2009 - playing Sarah’s original songs, vintage rockabilly, and some unexpected rock/country treasures. Their set has a vibrant energy that always gets
the crowd on their feet and dancing. SS & the Oh Boys play to packed houses across the Cape, with Sarah on guitar and vocals, Ron Siegel on upright bass (sometimes literally balancing on it!), Liam Hogg on drums, and Mark Usher on lead guitar - this is not a band to miss!

Natalia Bonfini
(Blues & Rock, original music mixed with a few unique
takes on classic covers)
A blues musician at her core, Natalia's natural storytelling ability and powerhouse vocals will take you on a journey. An award-winning songwriter, her single “Before” won the New England Songwriters Competition and received an honorable mention in Song Door’s International Competition. The release of her EP, "Beyond the Broken Pieces", followed shortly after, offering an intimate peek into love, heartbreak,
and the journey to self-discovery. A top 50 finalist on American Idol’s 20th season, Natalia has performed
alongside national acts like fellow idol winners David Cook and Crystal Bowersox, Grammy nominee Allen Stone, Blues Legend Joe Louis Walker, and The Boss himself, Bruce Springsteen. With a sound reminiscent of Amy Winehouse or Janis Joplin, and commanding lyrics such as those of Alanis Morissette, Natalia comes alive on stage and is a must-see!

August 4: 6 to 7 p.m.
The Kim Moberg Band
(Folk/Americana)
Award-winning singer/songwriter/guitarist Kim Moberg was born in Juneau, Alaska, the daughter of a mother of Alaskan Native Tlingit descent and a US Coast Guard veteran father from Kansas. Kim inherited an innate sense of music, which was the constant in Kim's childhood, helping her to adjust to the frequent moves associated with growing up in a military family. A classical pianist and guitarist, Kim’s mother guided her life-long love for a wide range of musical genres from traditional and contemporary jazz to Broadway tunes and Folk music. Her father, a lifelong country music fan, exposed her to legendary Country music artists like Johnny Cash and Hank Williams. As a Folk/Americana artist, Kim’s sound reflects this mélange of her musical upbringing. Kim's rich vocals, described as “a blend of honey and whiskey”, gently guides listeners through her musical stories while her compositions tug at feelings of melancholy, heartbreak, healing, and social consciousness.

August 11: 6 to 7 p.m.
Anna May
(Meditative Moodscapes, Atmospheric Folk)
Referred to as "emotive lyricism" by Americana UK, and compared to artists like Jeff Buckley and Mazzy Star, Anna creates her own brand of atmospheric folk music. Her lyrical sensibility is steeped in wisdom, and layered an evocative musicality and metaphysical embroidery while drifting off the mainstream
and parting with genre rules. She expertly mingles hope and despair in a blend of genre-defying fluidity.
