6-8 PM The Shoaldiggers
Hailing from the Triangle region of North Carolina, The Shoaldiggers deliver a genre-bending fusion of swamp grass, roots rock, and freak folk. Operating as a roaring ten-piece ensemble, the band crafts an expansive soundscape that bridges rolling coastal seascapes with the ancient hollers of the Appalachian Mountains. Playing together since 2013, the group has earned a reputation for wildly infectious live performances built on rich multi-instrumental arrangements, sharp original songwriting, and an all-inclusive party spirit — or as they put it, putting the "All" in Y'all.
