His acoustic melodies and the various inflections of his vocals are true to the origins of the traditional folk sound. His most popular single “Keeping Me Goin'” could easily be mistaken for a 1940s Woody Guthrie vinyl with an Irish twist. Armed with an accordion and saddled with a guitar, Okeefe continues to reference his musical inspirations on his latest album.
Glass Dove, an indie band from Nashville founded by Josh Benus, plays at 6:20 p.m. The band describes their music as “D.I.Y. alternative pop songs. from bits of live guitar, MIDI and synths.” They recently collaborated with Desert Noises and Liz Cooper & the Stampede on the single “Patterns of My Mind”. Glass Dove’s latest single “Just a Conversation” is the perfect equation of rock and indie pop, evoking alternative bands like Weezer and Phoenix. Glass Dove are busy working with producer Owen Biddle (The Roots, John Legend) on their upcoming debut album.

B.B.’s nephew Kinga, soul and blues puts a lot of emphasis on Scales’ musical education. But his singles “O, Hallelujah” and “Feels Like Home” have Black Keys-like beats and rhythms, giving his soulful side some edge.
Then local Nashvillian Preston James takes the stage at 2:15 p.m. and share his passion for music with us all. At age 19, the maturity of James’ voice mirrors that of Waylen Jennings and Merle Haggard.
