Ladies and gentlemen, here is the story of Strung Like A Horse. Sometime in 1983 a junkyard rocket shaped sperm crash-landed into a 1965 Cadillac ElDorado shaped egg (convertible of course) and nine months later, give or take, Clay Maselle horse-kicked his way into a world to which he would never belong.  In time he discovered he was not alone.  There were other hillbilly misfits living undercover all around him.  A born leader, he got four of them arrested for stealing yet another Cadillac--a hearse this time--and they became an inseparable unit.  Seeing as how they weren't employable they turned to the only thing all of them were actually good at:  pickin'. Several years and many thousands of miles later the Strung Like A Horse outfit, now a well-oiled machine, gallops into (your town).  Don't miss their signature gypsy grass sound and fiery hot high-energy stage show. Moonshine is optional but recommended.  These junkyard dogs bring “honest, playful, headbangingly interactive fun” to any venue their rocket crashes.  

1ST AVE. STAGE:
5PM: 15 Blackbirds
7PM:
El Dub
A One Man, Reggae, Funk, Hip Hop, Soul band with a high energy, and intricate "looping" style mixed with a positive uplifting message creating a laid back, "no worries", feel good type of vibe!  El Dub plays all instruments live in real time, including, beat boxing, guitar, bass, keys and harmonizing vocals and loops them into layers that end up sounding like a full band with just one man!  Hard at work touring full time for the past 3 years, El Dub has been making a name for himself playing Nationally and Internationally throughout the US and Canada.   His one of a kind “loop” style has landed him performances at many notable festivals and venues including SXSW, Vans Warped Tour, Spirit of Suwannee Music park, and Phases of the Moon  to name a few.  His unique Reggae, Funk Hip Hop style have earned him the opportunity to perform alongside the likes of 311, Matisyahu, Dirty Heads, Slightly Stoopid and many more.
