| Rhinetones ( 3:00 ) |
 The Rhinetones have been steadily making their way into the Nashville music scene since November 2010. Originally from Texas, brothers Michael and Samuel McBurnett have been playing, writing and recording their own music for the better part of 10 years. Both brothers began playing a combination of funk and jazz. They converted rooms of their childhood home into studio space where regular late night jam sessions would take place.
Their passion for music eventually led them to study music at McLennan Community College's Commercial Music Program in Waco, Texas. Here they garnished an appreciation for classic country along with western swing and folk music. All of Michael and Samuel's influences have always been thoroughly infused into their music. They have developed a unique and colorful blend of classic folk and roots music with rich harmonies and melodies reminiscent of the early days of rock and roll. In July 2010 they released their self-titled debut The Rhinetones which is now available for digital download on iTunes as well as Amazon and other online music distribution vendors.

| Jonathan Tyler & The Northern Lights ( 8:30 ) |
 Contrary to doomsayer rumor, rock music doesn’t need saving. But a wake-up call is long overdue, and this is it. Actually, not just a wake-up call, but a joyous reunion of rock with its oft-forgotten prodigal twin, the roll — with papa blues and mama soul along for the ride, too. All of which makes Pardon Me the perfect introduction to one of the most electrifying young bands in America — or at least the next best thing to experiencing Jonathan Tyler and the Northern Lights live. Literally.

| Dirty River Boys ( 5:30 ) |
 You can tell a lot about a group of musicians by the name they give themselves. The Dirty River Boys make music with the type of sound and texture that is soaked in the realities of the hard-scrabble city they call home in the far west Texas desert. Members Nino Cooper, Travis Stearns and Marco Gutierrez are quickly becoming known for their rousing live shows and debut release Long Cold Fall, both of which feature the boys winning three-part harmonies and stout acoustic instrumentation.

| The Trishas ( 7:00 ) |
 The Trishas got together towards the end of 2008 for what they thought was going be one show, a tribute to songwriter Kevin Welch at 2009's Steamboat Music Festival. The four songstresses, Jamie Wilson, of the sweetheart band of the hill country The Gougers, Liz Foster, Kelley Mickwee, formerly of Jed & Kelley, and Kevin's daughter Savannah Welch, permanently and evermore of the Welch clan, came together to do just that, sing...for the sake of the songs. And sing they did, around one microphone until there wasn't a single dry eye in the place. From the moment they stepped off the stage, it was obvious to all attending that this wasn't just for one show, no matter what they said. To give you an idea of the sound you'll hear, think of what would happen if Texas dirt, Mississippi River water, City Lights and Apple Pie all sat down in a pickin' circle at an Austin, TX backyard party. This combination creates a kind of soul that no definition is worthy to define and plants a seed of bluegrass that gives blues a place to grow from. Add a couple of country accents, a lot of truth to be told and rhythm you couldn't shake a stick at...but you'll want to...and you've got The Trishas.

| Turnpike Troubadours ( 8:30 ) |
 The Turnpike Troubadours, whose name is derived from the bumpy Oklahoma toll-roads and their hard lived folk singing heroes, are proof that isolation can be the mother of originality. Cutting their teeth in roadside dance halls and honky-tonks has made a serious impact on the band’s musical style, which walks the line between Woody Guthrie and Waylon Jennings. "Bossier City," the band’s debut album, is testament to the small towns in which they were raised. It combines Folk, Country, Cajun, and Bluegrass with stories of longing, humor, tragedy, and general life in rural America.
