More on the performers:

Josh Harty's unique blend of American music has become a must-hear for those who keep the tradition of country, blues and folk close to their hearts. His live shows prove that good storytelling combined with journeyman musicianship is as American as music gets.

Cris Plata was born in South Texas, the son of migrant workers. Those early days exposed Cris to a wide range of musical influences. Combing a variety of classic Mexican genres with Texas singer songwriter ballads, Cris describes his music as "Mexican root's" music.

Madison's favorite Rolling Stones tribute band, Loving Cup opens the rock show in fine fashion. Expect the unexpected from this wild bunch that includes many familiar WORT faces.

The Flavor That Kills tops off the evening show in rockin' style. Combining elements of punk and soul, they have been blowing audiences away.
