- Misty Mountain String Band| 4:00 pm – The Misty Mountain String Band hails from Kentucky and Virginia and draws influence from old-time music, Americana, bluegrass, and songs of labor and protest.

- Young Heirlooms | 5:30 pm – The Young Heirlooms are acclaimed Cincinnati musicians. The six-piece band draws influence from family history, personal experience, and adventures on the run. The antique instrumentation comes with a contemporary kick that resonates with a wide range of audiences.
