4 pm

Thunderpants Johnson's Hillbilly Orchestra


Thunderpants Johnson's Hillbilly Orchestra is a unique liberation of a lost style of music. Together for 5 years now (and friends for decades), TPJHO fuses ragtime, blues, folk, country, bluegrass and rock & roll to produce the traditional jug band sound with a knee-slapping twist to produce a truly original experience. Thunderpants Johnson's Hillbilly Orchestra shows turn a banjo, mandolin, 2 acoustic guitars, harmonica, washboard, washtub and of course an old moonshine jug into a magical burst of beer swigging, foot stomping hell of a good time. Their new EP will be available on their website soon.


 

5pm

B for Brontosaurus
 

B for Brontosaurus is a pop-rock band based in Somerville. It's three members - Abe, Ben, and Jo - play drums, guitars, and bass+keyboards, in that order and every body sings - including the audience.  Known for their sing-a-longs, they'll host a Fluff Jingle sing-a-long at the festival and premiere their very own original Fluff-inspired song.
 

B for Brontosaurus hope to improve your life with their whimsical yet self-conscious pop compositions, performed with a verve and love of life that can only mean one thing: they are in a band! You can order their EP or their record (Yes! A record!) off their website.

 

6pm
Adriel Azure and his Dream Indigo Orchestra
Imagine the atmosphere of a speakeasy or the roaring 20s...That's Adriel Azure and his Dream Indigo Orchestra, an all acoustic group performing jazz, tango, swing, latin, big band, delta and jump blues, and so on and so on and so on! Their styles span from 1900 to the late 1940s, performing with the steel guitar, cello, violin, ukulele, accordion, upright bass, sax, flute, clarinet and so on and so on and so on!
 

For their grand finale, they will perform an exciting fluff-themed number with the Flufferettes!
