Rainbow Cloud Roll
It's a little hard for this chamber pop orchestra to squeeze onto the Leinie Lodge stage — especially with full choir — but it takes a village to perform their epic concept album Strawberry Superman.

Burger Flight
A '50s pop cover band on roller skates? Yes, even the drummer has a specially engineered kickdrum that allows him to keep the beat while executing precise maneuvers. Heads-up if you're going to a show: the first three rows are "the ketchup zone."

Irish Tater Kegs
O'Gara's had better book this fiddle-bass-bodhrán power trio for their closing night, because they are going to blow. The. Roof. Off!
