Thomas Wynn and the Believers - (Set time: 10:00 PM)
Thomas Wynn & The Believers touted as "Southern Rock Muscle - Soulful Rock n' Blues" by The Orlando Sentinel and repeatedly reviewed as UNBELIEVABLE live!! Whether in an intimate setting or on a massive festival stage, they infectiously impact every listener.
TW&TB has shared the stage with national acts such as Gov't Mule, Leon Russell, Jim Weider, Kevn Kenny, Colt Ford, Drive-By Truckers, Donna The Buffalo, Dumpstaphunk, Blackberry Smoke, The Blind Boys of Alabama, Leftover Salmon, JJ Grey & Mofro, Medeski, Martin & Wood, Honey Island Swamp Band, Cross Canadian Ragweed, The Lee Boys, Charlie Daniels, Over The Rhine, Karl Denson's Tiny Universe . . .
The sibling-led quintet from Orlando personifies a new era that crosses generations with love, heartbreak, and love again with just really, really, really good music . . . pieces of Dylan, The Band, Petty, and Young, and a bit of Jennings, Redding, and CCR seep through The Believers' makeup. TW&TB has found a way of crafting a new vein of music -- gritty, yet pure uplifting Soul Rock -- a mixture of the classics, R&B and gospel, creating a sound that has an identity of its own ~ rugged, yet tender mixture of rock and country, sprinkled with southern soul ~ tunes brutally honest & heartfelt, the themes go beyond years of drugs, heartbreaks and hypocrisy to deliver a message of hope.
In the 1970s, their father, Tom Wynn, was the original drummer of Cowboy, one of Capricorn Studio's (Allman Brothers) legendary bands. His influence, as well as their faith, partly expressed through leading worship ministries at church, undoubtedly shaped their songwriting and musical interests. Their deeply rooted upbringing certainly laid the foundation for what the Wynns bring to The Believers' sound.
Wynn's passionate lyrics and emotional delivery, coupled with his songbird sister Olivia's soulful, yet haunting harmonies, backed by a tight, fiery band has built the reputation for don't-miss powerful, explosive LIVE performances, while developing an incredible fan-base loyalty wherever and whenever they play. Led by their powerful vocal harmonies and undeniable musicianship, TW&TB full band has been touring nationally, as well as the brother & sister Duo, an unplugged version of their heartfelt take on modern R&B-fused soul-- and this year, the band's itinerary expands to the Pacific Coast and in between. . .
Their debut album The Reason (2009) is a well-crafted studio sampling of Wynn's many tunes, but the band's choice to self-produce their sophomore album "Brothers & Sisters," released January 2012, was recorded live in-studio, a truer representation of the emotion and intensity experienced in their live performances.
Gratefully sponsored by Gibson, D'Addario Stings, and Drilley's Shoes . . .
Voted Best Rock ( & Country) Band three years running -- 2009, 2010, 2011 -- Central Florida's Orlando Weekly Readers' Choice Awards. Best Live Act Omni 2011.

Dustbowl Revival - (Set time: 11:00 PM)
The Venice, CA based The Dustbowl Revival features an ever-evolving group of over ten local folk musicians including mandolin, resonator guitar, washboard, drums, double bass, trumpet, tuba, clarinet, trombone, banjo, kazoo and more, bringing you on a tour of traditional American music with a thoroughly modern twist.
A sort of new-wave jug-band or "little big band", The Dustbowl Revival’s tunes range anywhere from Bob Wills style western swing to Dylan inspired folk romps to Sister Rosetta Tharpe gospel stomps to Howlin' Wolf Chicago Blues. Big band ballads, western swing hoe-downs, bebop breakdowns, vaudevillian theatrics even mariachi-flavored marches - the whole kitchen sink is thrown at you during their raucous live shows.

Mojo Stone - (Set time: 9:00 PM)
Mojo Stone are like a modern day Fleetwood Mac without the drama. Unapologetic, unexpected, and soulful, Mojo Stone's first E.P. entitled "Hatchet" exhibits the birth of a new musical talent that straddles both old and new schools.
"We'll never be a one genre kind of band" lead vocalist Meadors says of the group, "we want to capture the lights and the darks, and allow each song to create its own mood."And moodiness is exactly what you get from Mojo Stone. Touching on tender harmonies reminiscent of Fleet Foxes in tracks such as "Barefoot Boy", then dipping into swampy, dark territory with the last track of their E.P, "Gritty Love Blues", this band touches on everything from classic rock n' roll, to rockabilly, to folk.
Since its inception, the group has gone from playing tiny bar gigs and open mics across LA to managing their own national tour in the early summer of 2011. Expect Mojo Stone to make the rounds again soon; they're itching to go already. In the meantime, Mojo will be playing shows in California, selling CDs at shows and promoting "Hatchet" through Facebook and iTunes.
