The full Dangling Participles band will play a 1-hour set to open, and then we'll clear the stage for the high-energy string band: Debutants, who are veritable force of nature!

Over the years, Debutants have evolved into a formidable string band with eclectic influences ranging from traditional folk, bluegrass, and Irish music, to indie rock, rockabilly, jam bands, and anything else they feel like playing. Several members also bring classical training to the stage, as well. Regardless of genre, what always manages to come through loud and clear, whether in-studio or on stage, is the amount of fun they’re having playing together, and the vibrant life breathed into their music.

This dynamic, seven-piece band boasts a guitar, a banjo, a mandolin, a cello, an upright bass, and not one but TWO fiddles! Oh, and the vocals are pretty magical, too. Members trade off lead vocals, with as many as six members singing at a time. It is a BIG sound, and the joy and energy they bring to the stage is infectious.
