5:00 pm – Johnny Orr Band – Country Mix
The Johnny Orr Band has opened for country music’s biggest stars like: Kenny Chesney, Zac Brown, Little Big Town, Gretchen Wilson, Leann Rimes and many more. Johnny had a full time job as a music minister at a church until September of 2010. He realized that his trips to Nashville, Tn. had been very few in 2010 so he knew that some drastic action had to be taken. He believed that the church deserved to have someone there that was completely committed to them and someone that didn’t have dreams of their own outside of the church. So, he left and ventured out on his own. “God gave me these abilities and I intend to use them for Him and for the good of my family’s wellbeing” Johnny says.
Johnny also does over 100 impersonations which include: Larry the Cable Guy, Barney Fife, Forest Gump, all of the Warner Bros. Looney Tunes, and so much more. He’s using this ability to generate a broader audience and to make the Johnny Orr Live experience a more enjoyable show.

7:00 pm – Backseat Romeo – Top 40 Mix
Backseat Romeo was founded in late 2003. It was only meant to be a temporary arrangement, but it all came together and made us better than the sum of our parts. The lineup has changed, but the dedication to making people lose their cares still remains. The real goal in doing what we do is to challenge people’s perceptions about music. The world has a way of putting you in a narrow little category and locking the doors on you. So we try to chip away at those preconceived notions of not only music, but life itself. The walls between people were designed to obscure the truth about us . . . we all have hearts made of the same stuff. Having influences that range from: classical, blues, funk, rock, jazz and old soul makes the music unique in range and variety. The live show is not to be missed.

Guitarist, Jonathan Easterlin (AKA Juan Solo) adds to the band’s diversity with funky rhythms, crushing riffs and shredding guitar solos, making guitar parts from Van Halen, Ozzy and Journey look easy. Graham Barnes (Bass) and Benjamin Baldwin (drums) hold down a tight rhythm section and create a heavy groove through rock, soul and funk/dance songs by James Brown, Marvin Gaye, Sublime, Billy Idol, Adel and much more.

11:00 am – Jeanne Jolly
Singer/songwriter Jeanne Jolly broke onto the music scene as the featured vocalist for Grammy Award winning jazz trumpeter Chris Botti. Touring all through North America she had the opportunity to sing with world renowned symphonies and perform at venues like Carnegie Hall and play marquee events such as the Monterey Jazz Festival.
A diverse, classically trained vocalist, Jolly’s voice is said to embody the “early belting power of Linda Ronstadt” (MetroMusicScene, VA) combined “the delicate lilt of Alison Krauss” (NC Metro Magazine). Born in North Carolina, Jolly was the recipient of Western Carolina University’s Young Alumni Award and has earned a Masters in Vocal Performance from New England Conservatory. Upon completing her schooling, Jolly moved to L.A. where her career quickly took off. In addition to working with Botti, she began to explore different styles of music, recording with acclaimed songwriters Lowen & Navarro and country artist Bob Woodruff.
After her tenure with Botti came to an end Jolly found herself being pulled back to her Southern roots. Soon she co-wrote, co-produced, and recorded her first country/Americana EP (Jan, 2008) and started a band in Los Angeles. In 2009, Jolly moved back to North Carolina where she began to focus on developing her guitar skills, sharpening her solo performance, and focusing on writing more of her own songs. It wasn’t long until she once again found herself in the company of Grammy nominated artists, opening up for Sam Bush, Maura O’Connell, Chuck Mead, and many more.
In October 2010 Jolly released her new EP, Falling In Carolina, which has garnered top praise for honest lyrics and quality vocals. Recorded in Durham, NC at SoundPure studios and released over an 11 day run of 29 shows at the 2010 NC State Fair in Raleigh, the album features Jolly on vocals, baritone ukulele, piano and guitar. Jolly has also been the recipient of NC Metro Magazine’s award for “Best Local Musician” in 2010, 2011, and was also a featured artist at the 2011 International Folk Alliance in Memphis, TN. She has recently joined the family of Grammy nominated NC based group, The Foreign Exchange . Jolly is featured on their live DVD, Dear Friends: An Evening with The Foreign Exchange and is contributing vocals to support theirAuthenticity Tour.
Jeanne just finished her own memorable Summer Tour through the Northwest, playing the Red Ants Pants Music Festival along with Emmy Lou Harris, Rodney Crowell, Hayes Carll, Billy Jo Shaver, Taj Mahal, & Mary Chapin Carpenter as well as Sweet Pea Festival in Bozeman, MT, and other venues through Montana, Idaho, Washington, and Utah. On the airwaves, Jeanne has recently been featured live on WUNC’s “State of Things” (NPR) with Frank Stasio, 100.7 The River’s Sunday Brunch with Kitty Kinnin, G105 The Hit Music Channel’s “Showgram” & “Top Five Downloads” with G105′s Mike Morse, KGLT’s program “Crossroads” out of Spokane, WA as well as WHQR’s “Soup to Nuts Live!” (NPR) with George Schiebner. Currently, she is gearing up to release her first full length album, Angels, which is set to release on Oct. 2. 2012. “She is undeniably a versatile singer with an amazing and rare ability to sing with the sophistication of modern jazz and the simple passion of an Appalachian Americana. Jolly has a gorgeous voice that isn’t something you hear or happen upon everyday” Common Folk Review.

6:00 pm – Gloriana – Country
From the band’s earliest days, the members of Gloriana have always known that good things take time. The country trio first came together in 2008 when brothers Tom and Mike Gossin moved into Rachel Reinert’s Nashville apartment. Together they spent months in cramped quarters, surviving on Ramen Noodles while trying to shape their sound. “Gloriana are three people who have played music for their entire lives,” says Mike. “But we never really caught a break until coming together. Tom and I played in bars for 10 years, but it wasn’t until the three of us got together that we knew we had something special.” Gloriana’ s 2009 self-titled debut album soared to No. 2 on the Billboard Country Albums chart propelled by the gold-certified single “Wild At Heart”. That same year, they spent two years on the road with Taylor Swift and won both an American Music Award for Breakthrough Artist and a coveted ACM Award for Top New Vocal Group in 2010. The band’s first single “(Kissed You) Good Night”, from their eagerly anticipated July 31st CD release, A Thousand Miles Left Behind, has shot up the Billboard Country Singles Chart. It has become Gloriana’ s fastest-rising single to date and marks the beginning of a new chapter in the group’s creative evolution – a willingness and confidence to write songs taken from personal experience and introspection.
The album, their second produced by Grammy Award-winning songwriter and producer Matt Serletic, is Gloriana’ s most personally revealing and emotionally resonant work to date, relaying their hopes, dreams, disappointments, and triumphs against a richly textured country backdrop. The band members co-wrote every song, often collaborating with Serletic (who has worked with Willie Nelson, The Band Perry, and Matchbox Twenty) as well as several of Nashville’s finest composers, including Josh Kear (Carrie Underwood, Lady Antebellum), Hillary Lindsey (Carrie Underwood, Martina McBride), Tommy Lee James (Tim McGraw, Trisha Yearwood), Stephanie Bentley (Faith Hill, Martina McBride), and Wendell Mobley (Rascal Flatts, Kenny Chesney).
The result is an engaging mix of up-tempo, good-time numbers (“Wanna Take You Home,” “Sunset Lovin’,” “Go On…Miss Me,” “Doin’ It Our Way”) and graceful, heartfelt songs (current Top 20 single “(Kissed You) Good Night,” “Can’t Shake You,” “Turn My World Around,” “Carolina Rose,” “Soldier Song”) that showcase Gloriana’ s signature harmonies, as well as their ear for irresistible melodies and undeniable knack for story-telling. Tom’s songs tend to deal with the allure of fame (“Gold Rush”) and how his wandering lifestyle has impacted his relationship (“Carolina Rose” and “Can’t Shake You”). “A lot of the songs on the album are written from the point of view of the person I would like to be,” he says. “’Like on ‘(Kissed You) Good Night,’ my alter ego comes in and does what I’m afraid to do in real life. It’s ultimately a song about not ending up with regrets because the worst thing is to look back on something and think, ‘I wish I had done things differently.’”
“The first night we opened for Alan Jackson, we asked him if he had any advice for a group starting out, and he said, ‘Man, it’s all about the music, make sure you stay true to the music,’” Mike says. “And I think through the growth of this band, and all the ups and downs of this rollercoaster ride that we’ve been on, it feels like we’ve finally found our place. A Thousand Miles Left Behind is it; it just feels right. This is us, Gloriana, singing about where we are in our lives and the experiences we’ve had. That’s what country music is all about.”

3:00 pm – Jim Quick & the Coastline Band
Quick’s been touring the Southeast US for more than 15 years, playing nearly 300 shows per year, and has released more than 11 albums including his newest, DOWN SOUTH. Originally introducing their music as the Coastline Band—a band of friends who played the Carolina beach bars day in and day out—the group pushed Quick to the forefront and naturally transformed into Jim Quick & Coastline. Known for his all-out performances and deliberate, off-the-cuff wisecracks, Jim has been a gracious recipient of the Carolina Music Awards “Entertainer Of The Year Award” – nine times. ” Strong” is exactly the word to describe Jim’s catalog, and his most recent, DOWN SOUTH, is poised to become a best-selling musical novel. With songs such as “I’m A Dog” and “Don’t Shoot The Snake,” Quick segues the comic relief of Rodney Dangerfield and Barney Fife to teddy bear tenderness in “Hurt That Bad” and “Forever Man”. The composition is the kind of music that makes you want to get up and dance, grab a beer (or four), and cut-up with your friends. A melding of the genres that make up the musical culture of the South, including Country, Blues, Soul, Southern Rock and Jazz, Quick’s take on music is not to be tuned out.

Touch of Grace
Hannah Marie & Hannah Catherine: Singing is a very big part of our life, for as long as we can remember we’ve been singing gospel songs. Some people have asked us, “Why do you sing gospel music?” The best answer we can give is that “God loves us so much and He’s done so much for us that it only seems natural to want to share with it with others. And singing is the best way we know how to do that.” We are blessed to be able to share our love of God and music with you. We would like to thank our song director, Marilyn Springle, for all she has done for us and all the countless hours she has spent with me and Hannah, she has done a lot for us, and has been with us through thick and thin. We love her so much and she is like our second mom.
Marilyn Springle: Directing “Touch of Grace” has been a joy and challenge of my life for over 10 years now. The Lord has placed in my path two outstanding young women. We share laughter, struggles, tears, and great happiness through this journey called life on the road to a better place called Heaven.

The Nelsons – Southern Gospel Music
The Group was formed in 1972 after the conversion of Clinton Nelson out of a Rock ‘n Roll band which was organized in the mid 60’s. Although this band was very successful with the signing of a major recording label out of New York yet God had other plans in store.
The original Nelsons consisted of Clinton and Joy Nelson along with mom Nelson Reva Pearl. These three traveled extensively doing evangelistic work throughout the eastern half of the US. After a few years Mom Nelson went home to be with the Lord and Derek Guthrie, Clinton’s nephew joined the group as baritone singer. Today he is one of the finest male vocalists anywhere. Keith Moore, Jr. a long time friend and native of Harkers Island was with the group from 1990-2009. We appreciate his contribution to The Nelsons for this long period of time.
Cathy Cain, a powerful female singer joined the group in 2010. Cathy has been a lifelong acquaintance of The Nelsons and now holds an integral position in this vocal group. She has dedicated her talents to the Lord Jesus Christ. We are so happy to have her in the group.
The Nelsons are original in every sense of the word. Much of the material they sing is written by Clinton Nelson. Their singing style is basically southern in nature with a progressive flare. Their close family harmony and spirit and burden for lost souls are what this group is all about. Their goal is to share the gospel message of Jesus Christ to a lost and dying world. This is what brings pleasure to their hearts.
Clinton is pastor of the Free Grace Wesleyan Church on Harkers Island, NC. This is the church he grew up in and loves to this day. Please visit our website www.singingnelsons.com

Jill, on most nights is the brunette, but don’t blink or she may change it… But color is what she’s all about. With pure harmonies smooth as silk, Jill adds all the color to the Trios sound. A bit shy, but keep your eye on her, because before you know it, she’s up front and in your face with a solo feature that will have your taste-buds yelling for more!
Every Captain needs a ‘First Mate’. To fill that roll, Mark Midkiff steps to the wheel. Mark is Gaylon’s business partner and friend of many years. He is the type of friend who has been there through good times and bad, always with support and with an “I’ve got your back” attitude. Mark is the glue that holds the ship together. He is very involved in the stage production and keeps eye & ear on the trio as they strive for that goal of excellence. Mark has a keen since of how a show should flow and how the over all sound and look of the show should be delivered. Make no mistake about it… there is no end to this man’s talent who keeps the ship on course.

Yellowknife is a piano/drum based rock n roll act based out of Charleston SC. They combine original music along with original interpretation of a wide variety of popular cover tunes. Led by Stephen Jenkins.
The Yellowknife project started one dark and dreary night when freakishly tall Stratton Moore called freakishly tall Stephen Jenkins for an impromptu performance at the Drop-In Deli on Folly Beach SC. “Rasta” Rick Stonecypher joined shortly thereafter to fill out the sound with vocals and percussion. And now, with a full length album recently finished they are taking on the southeast faster than ever.mPiano driven melodies with strong rhythm section accompanied by lush vocal harmonies. Talking Heads meets the White Stripes comes to mind.

Gumbo Lily
Gumbo Lily is a wildflower of the west growing in gumbo (clay dirt). Pegie saw a street sign in the middle of the prairie in South Dakota called “Gumbo Lily Lane” and thought that would be a great name for a band. Rebecca and Pegie started singing together three years ago. We met Bobby at a jam and for some reason he agreed to play with us. Then we were lucky enough to talk Judy into joining us. The band is:
Pegie Douglas – vocals, guitar, spoons. Peggy, formally a member of Rusty Strings and Carolina Cowgirls, is a retired exceptional children teacher living in Morehead City, spending summers in South Dakota and playing music wherever she goes.
Bobby Chandler – banjo, dobro, guitar, vocals. Our not-so-secret weapon from Cherry Point, Bobby has been playing in bands since he was 16 years old. He is originally from Chocowinity but now resides in Newport, NC.
Judy Wooten – stand up acoustic bass. Judy has been playing stand up acoustic bass with local bands for the past 15 years. We depend on her steady rhythm and backup providing a solid foundation and her ever-present smile encouraging us. Judy is also a Morehead City Lily.
Rebecca Marks – vocals, guitar, kazoo (if we would let her). Other than the church choir and glee club, Rebecca has only wished to do this until now. Rebecca is living her dream at Atlantic Beach, NC.
This is our 2nd year together as a band. We’ve played at the NC Seafood Festival, Backstreet Pub, Hannah’s Haus, Harrika’s Brew Haus, Senor Dick’s Warehouse, Trent River Coffee Company, Core Sound Waterfowl Museum, Beaufort Historical Association, Blu Sail Art Gallery, the Friends of Fort Macon, and the Trinity Center for the Road Scholar Program.

After forming in early 2012, A Mile Too Far immediately started writing songs about the hardships of life and the good times that follow. Although inspired by bands such as Transit and All Time Low, the trio has created their own blend of energizing pop punk and alternative. This was displayed in their self-recorded demo that was released in August 2012. The band says, “Music is about reaching out to people who share the common ups and downs of life that we face every day.”
