Hailing from New Orleans, Carsie Blanton’s music smolders with moxie settling in the

pop realm, infused with jazz elements and even a little Broadway-style panache. This two-person group is fun, makes you laugh

and best of all, makes you dance.

Unapologetic genre-benders, the three-person Harpeth Rising fuses folk, newgrass, rock and classical into something organically unique. Three classically trained musicians play original music, as intricately arranged as a string quartet but wrapped in three-part vocal harmonies.

Mary Ann’s 24 Wammies pay tribute to her vocals from blues and jazz to rock-pop and traditional

roots – and her voice which soars effortlessly from alto to soprano. Redmond comes with a

three-person band.

Seventeen of the region’s best musicians and vocalists present a great sound, impeccable performance, and high-energy contemporary big band music. They mix authentic swing and traditional big-band tunes with contemporary big band jazz.

International award-winners, this five piece band hails from Ireland, Canada and the US. They weave haunting melodies

and exuberant tunes of Ireland and Scotland with the lush harmonies and intoxicating rhythms of jazz, bluegrass,

flamenco and blues, redefining traditional music.

Critton Hollow String Band has been an integral part of MAC’s music scene for 40 years. The three-person group performs driving old-time songs, fiddle tunes, sensitively harmonized ballads, and traditional and contemporary folk songs on front-porches and large festivals across the US and Canada.

This seven member group from Baltimore has been voted Best Blues Band in the Mid Atlantic 12 years in a row. Their genre-expanding sound make you think

of every great blues band and performer you know — and then they take it one step further.
