JC Brooks and the Uptown Sound (approx. 9:00pm)
Erupting with raw emotion, JC Brooks unleashes his soulful shouts and heart wrenching falsetto over the relentless rhythm of guitarist Billy Bungeroth, drummer Kevin Marks, and bassist Ben Taylor. The Uptown Sound is a force to be reckoned with, leading the Chicago Tribune to call them “the real deal” and MOJO Magazine identifying them as “one of the hottest US soul acts”, while the New York Times praised their “neo-soul glory” and the Onion AV Club declared their first album “relentlessly catchy”. It’s live, it’s compelling, it’s now, it’s theatrical. You’ve been hearing their Bloodshot release, Want More, on WFPK. Now catch them live on the Big Four Lawn!

Sugar + the Hi-lows (approx. 7:30pm)
Ringing in their new sound, Sugar & The Hi Lows are bringing back the era of feel good music, the days when one take as enough and an auto-tune was a thing you did to your ’55 Chevy. Brought to life by experienced songwriter/performers Trent Dabbs and Amy Stroup, Sugar & the Hi Lows is a bit of a nostalgic love offering.

“Sugar + the Hi-Lows just might be the next breakout band to capture the nation’s imagination.

The Tunesmiths (approx. 6pm)
“The Tunesmiths are one of Louisville’s fastest growing bands. These four craftsmen have made a name for themselves with high energy performances and creating unforgettable music at an incredible pace. Their genre-bending, timeless material combines the raw energy and power of rock n’ roll guitar, the smooth vocals of R&B, and the catchy rhythms of Soul. This group is a “must see” for music-goers looking for a great show and inventive music.
