Some of the musicians who played the Carrboro Music Festival in 2013:
Tea Cup Gin- The Station; 3:00- Tea Cup Gin plays jazz and show tunes from early 20th
century. One of the most influential periods of American music, the early 1900s witnessed the
first published blues, the explosion of ragtime, and the birth of jazz. They draw inspiration from
performers such as Jelly Roll Morton, Fats Waller, Hoagy Carmichael, W.C. Handy, and Billie
Holiday. With two guitars, a bass, and vocals, their performances are reminiscent of parlor
music.
The Pinkerton Raid- The Station;10:00- The songs sketch characters from Jesse's travels: street
kids in California, weary worshippers at the communion rail, generous bartenders, hard-up
songwriters in seedy pubs, a flirty piano-teacher in a hipster nightclub, a fatal attraction, a lonely
divorce in Paris, a sleepy baby in her parents' arms. These stories float among layered
keyboards, groovy bass lines and Kris' sparkling guitar textures. The band came together in the
retro-pop renaissance of North Carolina's Triangle region, sharing strong influences like the
Beatles, Fleetwood Mac and Neil Young with a core of local acts.
Gentle Robot- Jessee's Coffee & Bar; 1:00- Gentle Robot is a rock band in Chapel Hill.
Described as "Sweet, confessional indie rock with a bluesy swagger and some understated but
generally sick guitar playing" by The Pinhook. The following dudes are in the band: Tim Wall,
Matt Teten, and Tim Sookram.
Summerglen- Open Eye Cafe; 1:00- What do you get when a trombone meets a marimba? You
get Raleigh's Summerglen--positive, happy, and heartfelt music! We have each had our own
careers as freelance musicians for many years and now Summerglen is our chance to create
something new and magical together.
Mudbones Blues Review- Tyler's Parking Lot; 4:00- Mudbones Blues Review is the brainchild
of Durham harp player Butch "Mudbones" Haas and singer Sallie Knott Deaton. They are joined
by journeyman musicians from the Durham blues scene. Mudbones performs original and
standard blues and R&B songs inflected with mojo from the 1960's. The sound is delicately
layered, and punctuated with soulful singing and melodic solos. The jazz-influenced rhythm
section provides the foundation for a tightly-knit ensemble which delivers many pleasant
surprises.
SAD Magazine- Open Eye Cafe; 9:00- SAD Magazine are Andrew Snee and Robert Graham,
both guitarists and songwriters. Andrew currently plays in the Durham-based band Sea Cow.
Robert has played in a number of Triangle bands since the mid-80's; most recently, the grunge-
pop outfit Three Piece Suit. Their music recalls a three-way collision of Elvis Costello, Neil
Young, and Richard Thompson: equal parts plaintive lyricism and guitar dynamics.
Radar's Clowns of Sedation; Fifth Season Gardening; 1:00- Free-floating ensemble of local
talent crystallizing the original songs of ex-pat Brit P.T.Pawsey and featuring the songwriting
talents of Penne Sandbeck and Jesse Jordan. Favorite stomping grounds include The Cave in
Chapel Hill, The Blue Bayou Club in Hillsborough, Dain's Place in Durham, The Station in
Carrboro, Slim's in Raleigh, Clay Street Tavern in Mebane, Jack Sprat's in Chapel Hill, and
many others.
Tim Smith Band- Fifth Season Gardening; 4:00- After more than a decade,this North Carolina
band formerly called The Jumpstarts is still cooking up a deliciously original blend of great
music. Based in traditional 1950s style Jamaican ska and reggae,the group stirs in a heavy
helping of jazz with a sampling of gospel and blues. Seasoned with soul and a dash of funk, this
concoction really simmers. Like an old family recipe passed along from one generation to the
next, the dish of a band only gets better with time.
Big Fat Gap- Fifth Season Gardening; 6:00- Big Fat Gap is a back porch bluegrass band that has
no plans to take Nashville by storm. Some of them even have day jobs. They just like to pick,
they like each other, and it shows. Their shows are known to be excellent for those who enjoy
sweet three part harmonies, smoking solos, and captivating stage dynamics. Their fun
performances bring loyal fans back for more They are Miles Andrews on lead vocals and Bass,
Rick Hauchman on mandolin& vocals, Andy Thorn on banjo, Bobby Britt on fiddle and Jamie
Griggs on Guitar.
Tony Galiani- ArtsCenter's Wynn Theater; 6:00-The Tony Galiani Band plays a variety of jazz
styles with an emphasis on improvisation and interplay among the group members. Their
repertoire features a variety of jazz styles and arrangements which allow the band to stretch out
on each tune. The band features Mietek Glinkowski on violin and Doug Norton on piano. Bill
Hayes may play drums and Tony Galiani on bass.
Great Big Gone- Weaver Street Market; 4:15- Great Big Gone is a group of Triangle music
veterans brought together by a passion for the many facets of American roots music. Their
repertoire is a carefully-crafted amalgam of styles from electrified porch picking and honky tonk
to blues to Western Swing to roots rock, consisting primarily of original compositions. The result
is a tasty mix of sharp songwriting, three-part harmonies and a classic Americana musical
palette.
Saludos Compay- Tyler's Parking Lot; 7:00- They take the audience on a musical tour that
features traditional, contemporary, and original music from Latin America and the Caribbean.
This amazingly versatile trio keeps toes tapping. Lead vocalist/guitarist Pablo Valencia, from
Chile, sings a wide range of styles. He is as much at ease with a reflective bolero as with an
upbeat salsa. The group performs a number of Valencia's acclaimed original compositions, such
as the romantic Cancion Para Dos, the rumba Bello Amor, and the very upbeat salsa song
Entumido. On keyboards, Erich Lieth adds spice to the strong Latin rhythms with
improvisational piano solos and bass. Chuck Nolan, lead percussionist, intricately weaves the
rhythm patterns, be it for a subtle bossa nova or a danceable cumbia.
See No Weevil- Balloons & Tunes/Framer's Corner; 4:00- See No Weevil is a funky little trio
that delivers an infectious (infectious?) mix of eclectic music, most of it with a blues and R&B
flavor. Some are originals, the others mostly reinterpretations of other tunes that never made a
chart. In short, the band plays a lot of danceable tunes you haven't heard before, but'll want to
hear again. The trio is John Soady on guitar and (if the fancy seizes him), lap steel, Brunson
Hoole on drums and percussion and Jeff Elliott on bass guitar and (when strung out, so to speak)
upright bass.
Magnolia Klezmer Band- Century Center; 3:00- Magnolia's unique sound comes from the
mingling of musicians with roots in a panorama of musical traditions: Klezmer, Balkan, Jazz,
brass band, polka, and classical. The band continues to expand its repertoire: most recently with
additions from Vaudeville and from the world of Russian cabaret music. Now twelve years old,
MKB numbers 12 -15 regular members who perform in the 'industrial strength' concert band.
Smaller subgroups, from 5 to 8 in number play for weddings, bar-bat mitzvahs, parties, benefits,
and other celebrations.
Barrowburn- Looking Glass Cafe; 3:00- Barrowburn is a Raleigh,NC based band presenting
traditional Celtic music on acoustic instruments for dances, public performances, group
meetings, and private engagements throughout North Carolina. Barrowburn prides itself in its
versatility. They are equally at home ripping through a set of jigs or reels as they are rendering
the simple beauty of a slow air or lament. They perform both legacy and contemporary ballads
from the tradition as well as comical pub songs that are best accompanied by a swinging pint of
Guinness. In concert, they demonstrate their love for Celtic music, but do so from an American
perspective.
Off The Road Band- PNC Bank; 6:00- The Off the Road Band is exactly that, traveling the side
tracks and byways of American music-a unique blend of many styles, including blues, bluegrass,
jug band and good old rock and roll. And though you might occasionally hear an unusual
arrangement of a classic tune, most of the band's offerings are its own original compositions.
Based in Chapel Hill/Pittsboro, NC, the sextet is made up of Don Johnson on rhythm guitar,
Dave Haynes on drums, Bill Joyner on banjo, Betsy Clarke on fiddle and percussion, Mike
Chandler on electric and upright bass and Mitch Renkow on accordion and electric lead guitar.
All members contribute vocally and help write songs.
Mirror7- Auto Logic/Peck/Carrboro Music- 1:15- Born and raised in North Carolina, Adam
wrote his first song at 10, picked up a guitar at 12, and never looked back. Mirror7's music is a
collection of his original songs. They are written from the viewpoint that what we in the South
have to say about life, love, and God is just as important as the messages that are streamlined and
pumped out of pop radio everyday. Mirror7 is armed with an attitude but grounded by humble
beginnings. Our faithful fans are the hard-working, (predominantly)blue-collar backbone of
America
Tracy S. Feldman- Balanced Movement Studio- 7:00- Tracy S. Feldman is a high-

CARRBORO — Accompanying herself on acoustic guitar, Reagon Boggs sang about the mountains, her music
competing with with an amplified blues band next door. Up the street, the trio Gentle Robot played indie rock:
down the street the Blue Tailed Skinks string band played "Boil Them Cabbage Down" with a man in a loose
saffron outfit dancing through the crowd.
And that was just for starters Sunday, as the Carrboro Music Festival opened for its 16th year.
Throughout a balmy, sunny afternoon -and in some places, well into the night- rock, jazz, funk, fusion, ukeleles
and marimbas filled the air from the Chapel Hill border west past the Town Hall Commons, and thousands came
out to enjoy the sounds of more than 180 bands.

"We like it all," said Susan Williams who, with her husband, Bob, had stopped off to hear the Emerson Waldorf
Jazz Band. "We like to wander and listen to all the different kinds of music."
Jon Lamb of Chapel Hill was strolling with his wife, Nicole Spilotross, and their 8-month-old son, Harrison. "It's
very family-friendly," Lamb said.
On Weaver Street by Carr Mill Mall, some kids took chalk to the pavement, others swayed with hula hoops and
still others danced in front of a stage. On Main Street, Full Moon Pie went country with George Jones's "White
Lightning" and Johnny Cash's "Folsom Prison Blues." Farther out Main Street, a cyclist ridir g by abruptly
stopped and turned around when he heard Circle City's rock.
"Hey, this sounds cool," Skip Batolanzo said to his two companions, and they walked their bikes across the
sidewalk to stand and listen while the band wound up its set.
"We look forward to it every year," Batolanzo said. "We like the variety, and we like the idea you can just wander
around and when you hear something you like, stop."
That's the idea, said Rah Trost of the Carrboro Recreation and Parks Department, one of the festival's sponsors.
"We do want to see all the variety of ages," Trost said.
"There is so much good music happening locally," she said. "That's truly the essence of the festival, to capture
as much of the (local) ambiance as we can. ... It's like a mini-Bourbon Street."
Bands apply to play in the festival and are chosen by festival coordinator Gerry Williams and a steering
committee. If chosen, their payment is only food vouchers or T-shirts, and "They have to fight for parking like
everybody else," Trost said.
That's enough, said Brian Leden, drummer with Animal Envoys.
"It's an opportunity for people that do it mainly for a hobby to get out and play," he said, packing up with
vocalist and guitarist Brett Durham after their show.
":It's real open and accepting, there's no one judging. ... A fun gig," Durham said.
"This is a fantastic venue ... to get your music out there," said drummer Gary Mitchell; who had finished a solo
set and was getting ready to play with the band Funktion. "A lot of people are just going as the wind blows ...
walking by and are pleasantly surprised" when they hear something they like.
Admission was free and there was no way to count the crowd, spread over almost a mile, but Trost said
attendance appeared "every bit as strong as last year" even with competition from the bluegrass festival in
Raleigh.
"We have a strong following, after 16 years," she said. "Right now it's tough to get across the street, so we're
very pleased."

`"'by lock
The 16tt' Annual Carrboro Music Festival showcased over 180 performers from across North
Carolina on Sunday. The daylong event, which took place at over 25 venues, attracted an estimate
of 8,000 to 10,000 people and highlighted why Carrboro was coined The Paris of the Piedmont.
Gerry Williams, the event coordinator, said that the festival is all about bringing good music and
good vibes to Carrboro. "A perfect day usually means a big crowd of people and nice weather.'
Luckily for Williams, Mother Nature was on his side this year. With sunny skies and a high of 72
degrees, festival attendees and participants celebrated and enjoyed a large variety local music on

a beautiful Carolina fall day.
The annual event is a collaboration between the Carrboro Recreation and Parks Department and
the Carrboro Music Festival Planning Committee. Williams said that Carrboro is so unique
because the town government is dedicated to bringing arts to the community. "The town's support
for the arts is pretty amazing for a town of this size. They devote a lot of time and money to helping
the arts. It sets Carrboro apart. It is the most amazing thing for a town of this size."
Terry Bailey, who has been living in Carrboro for over 30 years, also thinks that town's dedication
to the arts makes it the perfect venue for the festival. Bailey said, "Anything you would want to do
artistically, you can find here. You don't have to be an artistic mastermind, either. There is
something for everyone."
As performer and one of the founders See No Weevil, a Chapel Hill-Carrboro based eclectic band,
John Soady said that the music festival is great because it brings the community together. 1 just
like the fact that they block of the streets. You can walk from one venue to the next. And the
people are great. It's just a really great thing."

Soady, who has been apart
of the Carrboro Music
Festival since its inception 16
years ago, said that not
much has changed. He said,
"It's gotten a little bigger.
New buildings and a few
more people, but it's still
Carrboro. It's still this funky
little town."
For Soady and his wife of 28
years, Sheryl Soady, music _

people. Soady said, "At the
basic level that's what it is.

The Carrboro Music Festival
is one way for people to w
experience and understand
the soul of Carrboro. Sheryl
Soady said, "It's always had
this unique charm about it.
It's welcoming and open."
Alison Weiner, a Carrboro
local and the founder of the
versatile ensemble jazz
group mahaloJazz, said that
the music festival is a place
where the community can
engage with each other and
sharE their love of music.
"We share this language of

music, and it lets us converse with each other. And out of that comes this experience that people
really love."
Weiner began preforming at the Carrboro Music Festival when it was created 16 years ago.
Although she moved to Florida for a few years, she says Carrboro's charm brought her back.
Wiener said that music is how we express ourselves as human beings. For her, "Music equals life,
equals joy, equals love."
Despite performing in Carrboro and at the festival for many years, Weiner is still surprised by how
receptive the crowds are.
For Weiner, her favorite part of the festival is being able to play together with her friends in
mahaloJazz. "This group is such a talented group. They're interested in that complete ensemble
sound, and that's what I'm interested in. It's exciting to try that out in front of a really enthusiastic
crowd."
According to Williams, the crowds continue to grow because, while the festival is consistent, it
varies every year. "We try to get as many new faces and new bands as possible. One-third of the
bands are first time festival players. It is a different experience for those people who come year
after year, after year. "
All of the bands donate their talents, and many see it as a way for them to give back to the
community and get exposure from a different audience. Williams said, "Most bands are very happy
to donate their time and talents. We make an effort to get as much diversity and variety as we
can."
