Flobots with Mae & Jabee & Joe Pug

5:00 PM

To celebrate our fifth year,  we are bringing back some of our favorites! This show will be a true reflection of the breadth of music we have had at the festival over the years. Folk, Americana, Pop, Hip Hop, and Alternative Rock – you name it and we will have it in our “music mix” show this summer!  

Joe Pug

A singer-songwriter known for his lyrical acumen and plaintive harmonica style, he has released a string of critically acclaimed albums and toured heavily in the U.S. and abroad since 2008. Paste Magazine wrote of his music: “Unless your surname is Dylan, Waits, Ritter or Prine, you could face-palm yourself to death trying to pen songs half as inspired”. With his new album, “Joe Pug: Live at the Old Town School of Folk Music” releasing April 25, 2025, festival goers are in for a show!

Jabee

Their breakthrough album, The Everglow (2005), gained critical acclaim for its ethereal and anthemic quality. Over the years, Mae has become known for their deeply connected fan base and thoughtful, concept-driven albums.
