Out of Philadelphia and other faraway places, Jim and Jennie and the Pinetops have been described as combining old timey music with bluegrass–but some of their performing roots are in hardcore punk (Well, alright, now we’re talking!) Learn more about them at their record company’s website www.bloodshotrecords.com/artists/jimjennieandthepinetops/ or at www.jimandjennie.com
Opening Act: The Lonesome Sisters
The Lonesome Sisters–Sarah Hawker and Debra Clifford–are known for their hard-hitting high harmonies and their love of singing about tragedy and heartache (Well, alright!). They have performed with Jesse Winchester, the Levon Helm Band, Tony Trischka and others. At 2004’s Merlefest they won the best country song award for Sarah’s song ‘Forgiveness.’ Here’s their website: www.lonesomesisters.com
