including Terry Fohey, Jeff Carter and Gary Scott and a woman, Ann Fohey (who is shy).
Headlining the afternoon events at 4:30 will be Levi Lowrey and The Community House Band, veteran perfomers at 106 West and fresh off their tour promoting their new CD on Zac Brown's record label, Southern Ground Artists. Levi Lowrey on fiddle, guitar and vocals is a
