A celebrated name in the British blues-rock and psychedelic jam scenes, The Billy Walton Band will bring their genre-bending sound and electric guitar riffs to the Ide Family of Dealerships Main Stage on Sunday, July 13. With roots in the Jersey Shore and deep ties to the legendary Southside Johnny & The Asbury Jukes, Billy Walton’s live show is a high-energy ride through decades of musical influence.
Todd East and Casino Royale will treat audiences to an unforgettable Sunday afternoon performance on the Ide Family of Dealerships Main Stage, featuring East’s new album “I’ve Been Watching You.” A powerhouse pianist and vocalist with decades of accolades, East blends soul, jazz, and R&B with magnetic charisma and an unmatched stage presence.
Eli Flynn and The Everymen will bring their genre-crossing, groove-driven style to the Gazebo Stage on Saturday, July 12.
