4 pm • Delta Moon
What better way to close out our program than with Delta Moon, where sinuous Mississippi blues meets the gritty backwoods twang of Appalachia and winds around a rock-steady beat like kudzu on a barbwire fence. The driving lap steel guitar of Tom Gray and bottleneck slide of Mark Johnson are guaranteed to get your feet moving.
