As the sun goes down, the energy goes up. The festival moves indoors to the Skyline Room for an exclusive, ticketed headliner show featuring the incredible Selwyn Birchwood. Known for his high-octane blend of blues, swamp boogie funk, and psychedelic rock, Birchwood delivers a performance that demands to be experienced live.
