Music Festival – Featuring performances from:
-Elizabeth Cook-
Elizabeth Cook is a Nashville-based Singer Songwriter from Wildwood, Florida. As a critically acclaimed live act and recording artist, the New York Times lauds her “a sharp and surprising country singer.” A veteran SiriusXM Outlaw Country Radio DJ, hosting her own show, Apron Strings, nationwide for the last 10 years, she is also a favorite of David Letterman, a regular performer on the Grand Ole Opry, and a frequent guest star on Adult Swim’s long-running hit cartoon series “Squidbillies” on Cartoon Network. In the words of the Drivin’ and Cryin’s legendary Kevn Kinney, “Elizabeth is so far ahead and under the radar you better have a supercharger for that fastback if you’re going to catch up! Enjoy the ride…”

-Six Time Losers-
Central Florida’s own, Six Time Losers, is the band that country music didn’t know it needed. They are intricate, organic, genuine — they are who they are; infectious with a distinct sound that creates die hard fans. They have shared the stage with the likes of Gary Allan, American Aquarium, Langhorne Slim and more. The effort put into their upcoming release shows that there is no stopping this train. Their new single “What’s Left” is a roots-driven staple. With prevalent Americana and Folk influences, this work of art is the first offering from their upcoming album, Only First Names Die, due November 12. With this festival taking place only two days later, Clermont Cars & Guitars will serve as their official album release show, and every paid admission comes with a FREE copy of their new record.

-Someday Honey Featuring Kaleigh Baker-
Three St. Petersburg musicians and an Orlando Transplant came together for a series of Monday night musical excursions at St. Pete’s greatest listening Room, Hideaway Café. What they didn’t know was that the combination of individual styles would become an undeniably sweet amalgamation. They are WONKY TONK; A Honey coined emotionally harmonic synthesis of Rhythm and Blues, Rock and Soul and Good old fashioned Americana undertones. With incredible musicianship and an incomparable voice, Someday Honey is a band you MUST see live if you have the chance!!

-Shuffle Tones-
With a set list full of traditional blues tunes, performed by some of the best players in the State of Florida, this is an act you won’t want to miss.

Car Show: Featuring 100 classic, custom, and exotic vehicles. Trophies will be awarded, as well as a $500 cash prize for first place. Voting will be conducted by event attendees between 11:00 am and 2:30 pm, with awards announced on the stage at 3:30 pm, before Elizabeth Cook’s set time.

Guitar Expo: We have partnered with local guitar manufacturer, Scout Guitars, to display some of their product line of custom, hand built guitars. Scout Guitars is an American company, hailing from Orlando Florida, run by Nick Scout. They offer custom, hand built guitars with exceptional craftsmanship and attention to detail. Their guitars are constructed using responsibly sourced domestic and exotic woods, and offer you, the customer, the chance to design the guitar you’ve always wanted – keeping you up to date during the entire construction of your guitar. Their goal is to create instruments that are reflections of each and everyone of their customers; capturing the unique voice of every player. The crew at Scout Guitars believes that a guitar built with passion and expertise becomes an heirloom, with its own unique story to tell. We will also have El Camino School on hand. They will have several guitars on display along with information on the classes they offer, including music lessons, as well as courses on instrument/amplifier building and repair. El Camino School is a music school based in Orlando, Florida that offers a wide variety of courses, lessons, guest lectures and events. One of the main focuses at El Camino School is trade-based learning, and developing the next generation of touring technicians. They also offer music lessons, music therapy, seminars, and meet-ups. The school’s primary objective is to create a true collaboration with the community and local music industry in order to impart knowledge for those seeking to further their understanding, careers, or hobbies. They also aim to educate current and aspiring musicians on how the music is created before the artists even strike a string. This includes everything under the surface in creating music, from guitar circuitry to the inner workings of a guitar amp or effects pedals. Musicians that understand how it all works are more likely to succeed in their craft.

Food Trucks: A No Roots Kitchen, Asian Bros., Bell’s Kitchen & Smokehouse, Hole Lotta Donuts, Fat Ones, Jour de Crepe, Ritter’s Frozen Custard, Rubio’s Baja Kitchen, Quit Smackin’, The Big Cheese.
