2026 Line Up ANNOUNCED!!!!
12:30pm - 2:00pm | WickeD Sycamore
Wicked Sycamore is an all-female trio from the Baltimore/DC area who bring a mischievous edge to contemporary folk, combining intricate vocal harmonies with thoughtful arrangement, mood shifts, and storytelling. Their original music ranges from fun and lighthearted sing-alongs to deep, introspective tunes for the ages - all influenced by traditional roots music, blues, pop, bluegrass, funk, and jazz. They are proud to add their voices as both female musicians and songwriters to the modern music landscape.
Wicked Sycamore consists of Juliette Bell on guitar, Lainie Gray on mandolin, and Madeline Waters on cello. They began jamming and playing music together in 2015 and discovered a shared desire to explore songwriting in a more intimate ensemble, thus Wicked Sycamore was born. Their latest studio record, If Not Now (2025), is a collection of original songs that, at their root, explore action, inaction, and the role we each play in our own evolution. Stream or buy If Not Now everywhere now.
Wicked Sycamore won the Charm City Bluegrass band competition in 2019 and they were awarded two WAMMIES in 2021 for Best Bluegrass Group/Artist and Best Bluegrass Album (In More Ways Than One) in the DMV-area. Wicked Sycamore has played at festivals such as DelFest, Greyfox Bluegrass Festival, Charm City Bluegrass Festival, Sultana Downrigging Festival, and Annapolis Baygrass Festival, as well as onstage at venues in the mid-Atlantic region like The Hamilton, The 8X10, Union Stage, The Avalon Theatre, Maryland Hall, and the Hylton Performing Arts Center at George Mason University.
2:30pm - 4:00pm | Caleb Stine
“His honest stories and thoughtful poetry place Caleb among some of the best songwriters of this time and could possibly make him the 21st Century’s Townes Van Zandt.” - No Depression
Caleb Stine can guarantee he’s got a song just for you. The Colorado native plays over 130 shows a year, has opened for artists like Jason Isbell, Sierra Hull, and Los Lobos, and just released his fifteenth album of original music. Flying just below the mainstream radar, Stine attributes the city of Baltimore with his 20+ year music career. He keeps a grass-roots presence by frequenting small venues up and down the East Coast and passing on a rallying cry of hope to audiences both big and small.
As Americana UK writes, ‘Stine’s upfront personality is seeking to make a personal connection with everyone in the venue.’ The songs from ‘Nickels and Dimes’ are snapshots of his life these days as a working musician, new father and wanna-be cowboy – but there’s something there for everyone. At once accessible and intimate, the collection embodies one of Stine’s deeply held beliefs: “Just like each flower’s held up by a stem, everyone needs a song just for them.” Catch a Caleb Stine show and find one waiting for you.
