  The California Honeydrops

        2:20 – 3:35

 

The California Honeydrops are the Bay Area’s newest and most authentic Roots and Blues ensemble. Influenced by artists such as Robert Johnson, Professor Longhair, and the Soul Stirrers, this group of young musicians breathes new life and inspiration into the nearly forgotten music of the American South. Combining the styles of ragtime, blues, gospel and soul all in an acoustic jug band format--one thing is certain: there is no other band like the California Honeydrops.

 

 


 

 

   Dgiin

        12:50 – 2:00

 

Dgiin is known around Sonoma County as a band with a unique style encompassing various cultures and influences and songs sung mainly in French. The band originated 6 years ago in Santa Rosa and is often described as French-Gypsy-Funk with a twist.  Their music is joyful and makes you dance!

 


 

  Eclypss

      11:30 – 12:30

 

Eclypss is Young Performer International's newest band on the scene, and they are hot!  Their musical focus is gentle blues/rock with a positive message and they are working on a repertoire of original tunes.  Eclypss is coached by Joshi Marshall of Mingus Amongus, and they have performed in Justin Herman Plaza, at the Fellowship Church in San Francisco, and is part of the lineup of YPI bands that are slated to appear at the Sausalito Art Festival in August.
