THURSDAYS ON FIRST & THIRD - WK #2

PEACE PLAZA STAGE:
5PM: Scott Ainslee
7PM: PISTOL WHIPPIN' PARTY PENGUINS
"Straight from the great Mill City comes the Pistol Whippin Party Penguins. Don't let the name fool you! This is not a violent group of flightless aquatic birds looking for a party, but rather 5 self proclaimed gentlemen, 2 guitars, a mandolin, a bucket of fiddles, an upright bass, a banjo, and a 4 part vocal harmony that will make Rush Limbaugh wanna pay taxes. As they prepare to record their 3rd album this winter, this quintet from Minneapolis strives to maintain the original spirit of the "string band" while continuing to play new original music and creative cover songs. The combination of folk, rock, blues, bluegrass, and the occasional stage banter will create an experience that anyone can enjoy!"

1ST AVE. STAGE:
5PM: The Shift
7PM: RICHIE LEE & THE FABULOUS '50s
Richie Lee & the Fabulous 50's band from Des Moines, Iowa, who is now 23 years old. This band has great energy and everyone of all ages loves to hear that good O'l Rock'n Roll. The band's ability to get the crowd dancing can be traced to Lee's drive to stay true to the original songs.Richie Lee is adamant that Buddy Holly's music "not fade away." "I want to bring back this sound for kids so it's not forgotten.I want them to hear what real Rock 'n Roll music sounds like."
