It takes a certain type of musician to hop freight trains and barrel across the vastness of North America with his brother and cousin. Especially for an artist who, just years before, sold out Madison Square Garden for three consecutive nights. CHAD "CHADWICK" STOKES is anything but a typical rock star. So, there was the singer-guitarist for bands Dispatch and State Radio, wading across a river to escape the chasing railroad bulls and hanging in the different down and out jungles with other traveling folks. And in the end, after the three had finally reached the West Coast and were laying face down in the dirt at gunpoint care of the NSA, he says it was all well worth it.
At a time when the term Indie-rock refers more to a guitar sound then doing anything truly independent, Stokes is an artist who has genuinely lived the credo. Unassisted by a major label, his band Dispatch arose from the college circuit to become an international musical phenomenon. With only a celebrated live show and a series of self-released albums the band was not only able to sell out Madison Square Garden several times but attract 110,000+ fans to a Boston concert.

Bhi Bhiman - (Set time: 9:00 PM)

"Fans can't say enough about this 27-year-old folk-rock troubadour. Listen to their fond comparisons, likening Bhiman to Randy Newman, Bill Withers and — of course — Bob Dylan, and you might roll your eyes. Actually listen to him sing, however, and your reaction will probably be quite different. Bhiman is the real deal, and he has the talent to go far."
