Dan Lilley & the Keepers with Amy Bedard and Scatman
Our Flagship band Dan Lilley and the Keepers with Amy Bedard will be playing their rock & roll to get you up on your feet!
John McNiff
With decades of experience in historical re-enactment, McNiff offers a compelling portrayal. A former National Park Ranger at the Roger Williams National Memorial in Providence, he has spent years researching the era and educating audiences. In addition to his historical work, McNiff has a background in acting, production, and stage combat instruction, making his performances both informative and engaging.
Gary Higgins
We are so happy to be able to present Free-folk enigma Gary Higgins in 2026, after a Covid scare prevented him from playing the festival last year.
Gary Higgins entered the popular consciousness more than three decades after his music career ground to an abrupt halt when the reissue of his 1973 cult classic, Red Hash, became a cause célèbre in the summer of 2005.
