General Admission is FREE and open to the public

Arkell Pavilion lawn, outdoors

Saints & Liars–Vermont-based Americana band who has been blending their own variants of honky tonk, folk, bluegrass, and rock ‘n roll since 2012.

Opener: Ida Mae Specker—a third generation fiddle player, Ida Mae was born in a one room cabin in the woods of Vermont. Along with her older sister Lila, she learned to play the fiddle at a very early age from her father John Specker. Vermont Public Radio’s Robert Resnik calls the Specker family “Vermont Folk Heroes.” The Speckers have been performing since 2005 and are renowned for “playing a rambunctious version of old-time music that owes as much to punk rock as Appalachia, at least in attitude.” —Seven Days VT
