80s Inc. - On stage @ noon
Do you miss Frankie Goes to Hollywood, Duran Duran, Def Leppard and spandex? Relive rock’s Decade of Decadence.
Candy Band - On stage @ 1:30pm
Don’t deny the kids. They deserve rock ‘n’ roll, too. These four stay-at-home moms formed an authentic kid-oriented rock band in 2003 and have never looked back. They’re bold and hard-driving as only a quartet of mothers could be.
Hot Rod Lincolns - On stage @ 3:30pm
Some bands have gimmicks. And some – like the Hot Rod Lincolns – have inspired gimmicks. Imagine it; Four guys, all dressed as Honest Abe, cranking out the hits of Cheap Trick, Led Zeppelin and other famed alt bands. It’s enlightened. It’s weird. It’s the rockingest way to celebrate Abe’s 200th birthday.
For the kids: Be Rock ‘n’ Roll inspired ... temporarily!
