arts and crafts. Joining Fleck are Karl Denson's Tiny Universe, Keller
Williams, John Scofield, Charlie Hunter, Virginia Coalition and Mofro.
Walther Productions has expanded the lineup for the second consecutive year by

celebrating with the fans who've supported us," says promoter Tim Walther.
"We've kept our annual promise to deliver the boldest collection of
grassroots performers they'll see on one stage all summer. Every act on the
bill is at the top of their game, and together, it creates a whole new level
of magic that we intend to continue for many years to come.''
