Zappa plays Zappa is a grammy-award winning band led by Dweezil Zappa, the oldest son of the late American composer and musician Frank Zappa, devoted to performing the music of Frank Zappa. His shows presented a collection of Frank Zappa's rock compositions from 1960s to 1980s.
Umphrey's McGee is an American progressive rock / jam band whose music is often referred to as "progressive improvisation." Having opened Dave Matthews Band's most recent summer tour, the band has become a mainstay at major festivals and amphitheatres.

They are also a favorite at Telluride and other popular, summer festivals.
The Avett Brothers are a high-energy, highly-praised trio combining folk, bluegrass, country, punk, pop, folk, rock, honky tonk and ragtime. In the past year, they have become the poster children of a new and rapidly growing genre of American music.

Dear Travelers ~ Although slightly less than eight months away, the Captain and Crew of the 8th annual Forecastle Festival are proud to announce the lineups for the 2nd annual "Halfway To Forecastle" mini-fest, taking place Saturday, January 17th at The Green Building in downtown Louisville, KY. A portion of proceeds will benefit efforts to establish the first Lower Ohio Riverkeeper Chapter, a project inspired by Riverkeeper attorney and Forecastle speaker Robert. F. Kennedy Jr to protect and preserve our nation's waterways. The project is being overseen by The Kentucky Waterways Alliance, a citizen's organization dedicated to protecting and restoring Kentucky's waterways through advocacy and grassroots awareness. The music lineup will include DJ 2nd Nature, Buffalo Killers, Ekoostik Hookah, The Protomen, DJs Narwhal & A-Bell, Squeeze-Bot, and many more. The show will also feature an appearance by the winner of the JanSport "Battle of the Bands" competition, which drew over 1800 entries from across the United States, for a chance to perform on the West Stage of the 8th annual Forecastle Festival, July 10th – 12th at the Riverfront Belvedere. The art component will be equally highlighted, with an exhibition from Julia Christensen titled Big Box Reuse. Supporting her book, Big Box is a road trip across America looking at what becomes of the spaces ("big boxes") superstores leave behind when they abandon the building for bigger stores. From churches, retail outlets, charter schools, courthouses, senior centers and even spam museums, Big Box Reuse shows the many practical reuses of buildings that initially seemed suited for one function. Since the spring of 2004, Christensen has driven over 75,000 miles, visiting converted big boxes and meeting the people who are transforming these massive shells into useful structures for their community. The activism lineup will include six Kentucky environmental organizations ranging from The Sierra Club to Kentuckians for the Commonwealth, presenting interactive, educational exhibits for attendees to engage and enjoy. Forecastle has again partnered with presenting sponsor Havana Cola and supporting sponsor Red Bull North America, who will provide an outdoor-themed film area featuring national athletes in an array of extreme environments across the globe. Tickets are extremely limited, and will go on sale Saturday, November 15th exclusively at Ear X-Tacy Records. They are $12 in advance, $15 day or show. All ages.
