Friday Evening Main Stage

Music Starts at about 5:00 PM
Friday, Finally! It's time for a weekend of relaxing & fun, surrounded by great music and all of your Two Day Town friends.
The evening is a mix of new bands and old bringing an eclectic mix of styles to the stage.
Something for everybody and finishing off with Two Day Town favorites Bacchus Brothers.
The weekend is here. Time to get your party hat on!

Political Plum politicalplum.com The headman of this band, Rich Krieger, brought his Dad to Two Day Town last year. Yeah, he gets it. Inspired from four random minds to create a Blue Funk Fusion with a dash of Rock and a touch of Soul. Prepare for this band to move you. Marcus Nemeth on drums and Steve "LazeR BeaM" Treadway slappin' bass, along with Rich L. Krieger and Dylan Demoss on dueling electric guitars and vocals. Imagine if Jimi Hendrix, Duane Allman, Carter Beauford, and Flea formed a band.

Ferrucci & Friends Michael Ferrucci is our Two Day Town Mayor and Master of Ceremonies, an excellent musician, and for several years ran Fine Fretted Friends music store in Livermore. Please welcome Michael and his mystery assemblage of musician friends. As always, we'll know who's playing with Michael as soon as they take the stage. We like it that way. Really.

Tanya Tarushka Trio Returning for her third gig at Two Day Town, Tanya and her band are back on the Main Stage this year with their acoustic guitars and her light jazzy vocals. Her influences are described as rock, country, blues, jazz, & classical - a little bit of everything. Tanya's preference in songs are "pop ballads that tell a story in an upbeat manner with the simplicity of acoustic guitar and vocals."

Natures Law Natures Law on myspace Natures Law: Mike Eisenberg, Brandon Glass, and Taylor Holmes from the original Buddhahounds pair up with East Bay musicians Mike Weber, Keegan Stokes, Paul Schoewe, and Fred Poetzsch to perform their own unique blend of Rock, Funk, and Hip Hop. "Music that means something and moves one's feet."

Brad Petersen Band If you've been to Two Day Town before, you've heard Brad Petersen - doesn't matter which year 'cause he's played every one. Note from Brad for this year: The Brad Petersen Band is back again this year with some surprises. All I can say is "It's a brother thing" and we're ready to rock! Roots Rock 'n' Roll you can move to. Welcome back, Brad.

Bacchus Brothers When word went out to the bands for some current info for Two Day Town '10, what came back from these guys was "The Bacchus Brothers put the 'unk' in funk". If I remember right it used to be that they put the 'fun' in funk. Whatever. Must be the wine talking. They've been with us every year on stage, at the jams, and in camp. We love this crew. When their set ends you'll be on your feet dancing, but save just a little bit of energy for the campfire jams.

That's it for tonight for the Main Stage, but there will be music all over camp through the evening.
Wander around to the bonfire and other camps for an evening of jams.
The playing will continue late into the night, but please remember that park rules require no drumming after 10 PM.

Saturday Morning Gospel Workshop

Schoolhouse Flats at 9:00
Join Kenny Williams for an informal Gospel music workshop to learn a couple of songs for Sunday's Gospel gathering.
Meet at Schoolhouse Flats picnic area near the fire pit at 9:00.

Saturday Afternoon Main Stage

Music Starts at Noon
The Saturday Afternoon session brings some very easy on the ears (and eyes) acts to the stage.
Lots of acoustics, a little electric, with some dance tossed in for fun.
Grab your spot on the lawn early, bring a lunch, and kick back for some excellent tunes.

Butterfield Brothers The stage will be full when the music starts playing this afternoon. We almost missed these folks last year, but they were ready and able to fill in a spot at the Amphitheater on short notice. This time they're back on the Main Stage to kick off the Saturday Afternoon session for us with some of their typically fine bluegrass and folk songs. Guaranteed good stuff.

Edge Of Town These folks were on the bill for 2009 but unfortunately missed due to illness. So that makes them new, again, to Two Day Town. Edge Of Town is a West Sonoma County sextet featuring guitar, mandolin, dobro, accordian, bass, "and more". Playing eclectic originals and freshly interpreted acoustic/Americana, vintage & contemporary, spirited or soulful, all enhanced by heartfelt vocals and the variety of instrumentation.

Mahbootay Every so often we like to have a little dance intertwined with the music. Colleen Bielby and her troupe will take the stage to follow up their debut last year. Welcome them and their love of dance to our stage.

Fender Cronin w/ Richie Beltran Jami Fender and David Cronin are making their 10th appearance at Two Day Town. They've been through everything with us right from the start, always with a smile. They both play acoustic guitar, and their set will likely include a few covers mixed in with their original songs. They will be joined on stage by their long time friend and accompanist Ritchie Beltran on guitar and harmonica. If you see Jami all over camp taking pictures, be sure to smile!

Off The Record Off The Record on my space Off The Record is a trio made up of Gary Walker, Ed Feifert, and Michael Loomis. Their Two Day Town debut was last year and we're glad to have them back again playing their mix of mostly acoustic folk and classic rock. Listen up as they close out our Saturday Afternoon session.

Nap Time!

3:00 - 6:00 PM
Take a break! Relax and refresh yourself, or...
Head to the Second Stage at the public campground amphitheater for more music!

Saturday Nap Time at the Amphitheater

Two Day Town welcomes The Return of the Second Stage
We gave this a try for the first time last year and it was an overwhelming success.
Move on over to the public campground amphitheater to hear
some acoustic artists while the main stage takes a break.

Dennis Campagna Dennis has been a stalwart supporter of our efforts out here at the lake and has been part of the San Francisco Folk Music Club scene for a long time. Get down to the amphitheater promptly to hear him kick off the Second Stage session with his acoustic guitar work.

Steve Faria A regular at many of the Two Day Town campsite jams, Steve also plays at numerous other Bay Area locations. His set at Two Day Town will consist of a few songs you know and a few you don't. Regardless, they'll all contain nice melodies, tasty acoustic rhythm guitar work and a comfortable vocal approach. Welcome Steve as he makes his first appearance on stage at Two Day Town.

Chris LeBel A first time scheduled performer at Two Day Town, campfire jam session enthusiast, and this year's winner of the Livermore Idol competition, Chris LeBel has been singing and playing acoustic guitar since he was ten. Now six years later he has developed a repertoire that spans four decades, with influences ranging from Eric Clapton to Trane. You will hear at least one of your favorites, along with a couple of his originals.

Joanne Weil Heald Joanne's 1st time on stage at Two Day Town was with her band WayBlond back in 2008. She has been playing around the San Francisco Bay Area for many years, typically joined by an assortment of talented accompanying musicians playing a wide variety of acoustic music from country to swing. This year Joanne will be playing Americana mixed with original tunes, harmonizing with another singer/songwriter.

Lynn Quin & The Safety Pins It took awhile to get Lynn back on stage at Two Day Town, but it was worth the wait. This time around the band will be The Safety Pins, with Alhambra Valley Band mates Jill Cruey on fiddle and Bruce Campbell on stand up bass. If you've heard AVB around the bay area, then you know you're in for a bluegrass kickin' treat with this spin-off.

Saturday Evening Main Stage

Music Starts around 6:00 PM
It's Saturday night and it's time to get the party going.
Get to the lawn early to stake out your turf!

Roy Jeans Armando's Last year Roy was scheduled to kick off the Saturday Evening music, but with a pair of broken wrists couldn't quite make it. This year he's in better condition, so we're optimistic that when showtime comes around he'll be ready to bring you something memorable. No telling what, but it's probably not run of the mill. Roy is Two Day Town's Front Gate manager and owns Armando's live music venue in Martinez. He'll be hand picking a choice musician or two to accompany him, and it could be you...

Straight Ahead The name says it all, almost. Straight Ahead is a bluegrass band that does what the name implies. Just bluegrass, no fancy frills needed, and it's always very well done. These folks have played Two Day Town a half dozen times and alaways deliver a strong performance. Give them a big TDT welcome back.

The Mundaze themundaze.com The Mundaze first arrived at Two Day Town in 2005 and were an instant hit. They deliver their all original pop rock as tight as any band that takes the stage here. When these guys start, you need to be ready to be up and dancing because it will be hard to stay down. Based in Stockton, The Mundaze have history at Beckett's in Berkeley and a variety of other Bay area venues, and have done well in the local Battle of the Bands competition. Take their CD home with you, it's good stuff.

El Desayuno eldesayuno.com Last year, these folks closed out the Saturday Evening stage with a killer set that had everyone on their feet. Their typical line-up is a stage full of musicians, and then they seem to always add in a few folks. This could be the only place you might find a harp player or flautist sitting in on a Latin jazz set. Expect El Desayuno to deliver some of the best latin jazz you've ever heard, fused together with soul, salsa, and world to make an unbeatable rhythm.

Of Shape & Sound ofshapeandsound.com What's that? A horn section? What have these guys been up to since last year? Well for starters they have a new CD release, We Bring It On Ourselves that you can sample on their web page, and perhaps support their efforts by buying some tracks or the whole album. Front man Jon Williams provides the vocals and can play most of the instruments you've heard of. Backed up by a very talented line up of seasoned-for-their-age musicians, expect a powerful final set of the evening.

That's it for Saturday's stage, but there's plenty more music happening.
There will be jams all over Two Day Town at campsites and at the fire pit, for hours to come.
Remember that all drumming has to stop at 10 PM to comply with our agreement with park management.

Sunday Morning Gospel Gathering

Schoolhouse Flats Picnic Area at 9:00
Bring your voice and your acoustic instruments and join Kenny Williams at Schoolhouse flats for an hour or so of Gospel music.
Last year there were 50+ participants, so arrive early to claim a good seat.

Sunday Afternoon Main Stage

Performance starts at 11:45
There's something for every taste this afternoon.
Two Day Town Sunday starts with dance, followed by a broad range of musical styles.
If you leave early 'cause you think you have stuff to do at home, you miss some great music.

Khalida Khalida has been dancing for over a decade, and has graced Two Day Town stages several times. We've made a special early time slot to give her time to dance for you. Don't miss her.

Kelley / Holzinger markholzinger.com/patkelleyduo Patrick and Mark have played together at almost every Two Day Town, so if you haven't heard them yet you've missed a lot of fine music. The delightful sound of Patrick's hammered dulcimer along with Mark's exquisite quitar work makes for a memorable experience. You can send email to Patrick for information about performing at your event, and Mark can be reached through the Groove.Org website or at markholzinger.com.

Diablo Riders The sound of this trio comes from a pair of acoustic guitars and a stand-up bass, and they play traditional country western swing as well as any band around. There have been six other opportunities to hear them on a Two Day Town stage and they have always pleased the crowd, so there's no reason to expect that this year will be anything other than fine, too.

Groove.Org organicgroove.org You probably heard Mark Holzinger earlier today when he played with Patrick Kelley, but this set won't sound anything like that. Just as good, but completely different. Mark will be electric this time, joined by John Waller on drums & percussion and Justin Wilson on bass. Together they produce a jam style blend that draws on the jazz, classical, swing, funk, blues, world and other styles that they play in other bands. They're Two Day Town favorites, here every year. Keep it coming.

Jump-In jump-in.ws This acoustic quartet has a simple formula that works well. Take a selection of popular songs from the sixties on, play them well, and encourage the audience to sing along. You'll know the words to many of the songs, and you can fake the rest, so join right in. Sounds a lot like a campfire singalong, and it's just as much fun.

The Lost Cats thelostcats.com What a great way to cap off Two Day Town. Jim Passard and The Lost Cats are top notch musicians that will be playing some of the smoothest jazz to be found. Vocalist Jim plays rhythm guitar, backed by a superb core band, and often supported by a variety of other musicians. They have a long history at Two Day Town, and they are always welcome back. Stay put for just a little longer, and let The Lost Cats send you home relaxed.

That's All Folks....Until Next Year
Please Remember -- Leave No Trace, and please No Glass anywhere at Two Day Town!
