My Bubba

Set time: Saturday, June 4, 5 p.m.

My Larsdotter and Bubba Tomasdottir make up My Bubba, a Scandinavian folk duo. Their sound is one of haunting simplicity; their captivating harmonies are backed only by acoustic instruments. Their most recent album, Big Bad Good, is no different, and truly captures what My Bubba does best: simple, fresh sounds recorded quickly as to maintain the beauty of a newly hatched tune.

Daniel Bachman

Set time: Saturday, June 4, 2 p.m.

Equipped with only a guitar, Daniel Bachman creates amazing, intricate instrumentals. Bachman started playing the guitar in his teens and draws from his Appalachian roots to perfect his intense fingerpicking style. His newest release, River, is a collection of seven solo guitar songs that seem to flow like the Rappahannock River in Virginia, where Daniel was raised.
