12:30 pm - 1:00 pm
Rumblin' Rhythm Cloggers with Barb Davenport and friends
Dance - Clogging
Clogging is a dance form with the elements of American tap dancing and Irish Step dancing combined. Clogging was originated on the front porches of folks living in the Appalachian Mountains and has evolved to the form we have today using special taps on our shoes. There are only eight basic steps that are combined into routines to all types of music from country to pop. Rumblin' Rhythm Cloggers with Barb Davenport and friends will perform to music such as The Sign, Hungarian, Real Good Feel Good, and Rocky.

1:00 pm - 2:30 pm
Lyndsay Stiles & Dan Greunke
Music - Ambient/Shoegazer Rock
Lyndsay Stiles and Dan Greunke of Sangsara play an acoustic set. "Sangsara's music follows the same melancholic vein of bands such as Cocteau Twins. . .delayed guitar chords and atmospheric keys flourish in unhurried and slow-pacing rhythms. Lyndsay's voice exhales a certain sense of tranquility and serenity. . .just like a hypnotic stoic dream in an unearthly mindset." (Ventrilicution Zine/05)
