20:45pm: Gavin Ferguson

Gavin Ferguson is a professional singer-songwriter, acoustic guitarist, and cover artist who has been performing as a full-time musician since 2012. He has been a prolific songwriter with songs on well-known local radio stations. He also has a diverse set list of cover songs and has performed at many different venues and festivals, including Splashy Fen, and Smoking Dragon.

His music can be described as having a unique, soulful-yet-smooth sound, to a “get the party started” rock performance. He has an acoustic guitar influence with a variety of pop, jazz, rock, flamenco strumming, and classical finger-style picking. His performances encompass the full music spectrum, including commercial pop, rock, jazz, light blues, RnB, dance music, classical, indie, and big band with a flare of southern gospel sounds all mixed into current pop music and old-school classics.

7:45pm: Bridgitt Leahy

Bridgitt is an acoustic artist who grew up in a small town called Creighton where she was surrounded by her dad’s music and singing. This inspired her to pick up a guitar at 15 years old. With a passion for indie, folk, alternative, and country, she has always found inspiration in the unique sounds and stories that these genres offer. She draws inspiration from artists such as Bob Dylan, Rodriguez, and Bon Iver.

Although she took a break from performing for the past few years, Bridgitt is now eagerly preparing to once again share her passion with an audience. She will be joined on stage by her dad, Russel Leahy, who is a self-taught musician who is also inspired by folk, rock, and country. Russel and Bridgitt have always loved singing together whether that be pub karaoke, garage sessions, or just discovering new songs and harmonies.

7pm: Chris & Kaylee

Christopher and Kaylee Bester are a husband and wife team who have come together to play music. Their chosen genres are country and bluegrass. Christopher has been in many bands over the years and plays a variety of instruments. Kaylee has a more classical background and has taught music in schools.
