The Beavers
Bio:
The Beavers are a folk-grassy group of musical friends. Together, they play a mix of originals and covers ranging from old-timey to ’70s and ’80s hidden treasures, and maybe a couple more they picked up on the town.
Sidewalk Diamonds
Bio:
Forged through friendship and a love of music, Sidewalk Diamonds play what they call “Garage Americana,” a soulful blend of rock and Americana with a raucous spirit. The band’s name is a nod to the John Prine lyric, “from the diamonds on the sidewalk, to the dirt in the gutter,” encapsulating the group’s balance between grit and grace. That duality shines through in their music, led by the unmistakable vocal harmonies of Beth and Tony, who share a mutual admiration for artists like Neko Case and PJ Harvey.
