Saturday featured Dragondeer, Honey Island Swamp Band, Southern Avenue, Rick Estrin and the Nightcats, and was finished off by the Kenny Wayne Shepherd Band. The KWSB has released multiple albums, and is a popular blues group beloved by many.

Sunday also showcased a star, but started the day off with performances by Fuse Worship, Kara Grainger, the Nick Moss Band, Vintage Trouble, and finally a performance by the North Mississippi Allstars.
