MAIN STAGE: 11:15AM - 12:15PM DGIIN | “Musique Magicale, extremely danceable, complex, and undefinable” is a great description of this band. Gabe and Mimi infuse tight harmonies into a variety of American and international styles - from New Orleans swing to French chanson, salsa and cumbia to Roma hot jazz. Now a sextet. with saxophone and violin, Dgiin is a “working band” some years playing over 100 gigs. These guys are all pros - accomplished reliable performers who know how to entertain. | |
MAIN STAGE: | Like hotcakes themselves, their music goes by many names. Soul. Swing. Rhythm & Blues. Jazz. Jump. It’s a sound that’s classic and simple, but when it’s done right, it hits the spot, and has you grinning from ear to ear. Spike has spent years searching for this sound, from the Texas blues joints he cut his teeth in, to the funky halls of New Orleans. He found just the right recipe here in Sonoma County with his awesome bandmates. | |
MAIN STAGE: | Wonder Bread 5 is like a group of neighborhood kids that stayed together throughout the years. Best pals who still play for the fun and thrill of it. With over the top performances that engage the audience and often make them part of the show, no two Wonder Bread 5 shows are the same. Performing a never-ending stream of new and up to date material, while always remembering the party anthems from their youth. Their long list of repeat clients is the true testament to their longevity! A setlist from the Wonder Bread 5 will wind you down paths unimaginable to most bands. From the latest hits of this week to classics hits from the 60s, 70s, 80s, 90s and beyond. website video | |

ENTERTAINMENT STAGE | Scott Meltzer and Trink Spang-Hanssen have entertained audiences all over the world with their hilarious combination of comedy and juggling, unicycling and bad judgment. They’ve worked as corporate presenters, after-dinner speakers, game show hosts, and comedy club headliners. They've appeared at more fairs than the world’s smallest horse and the world’s largest pig combined. | |
