The lineup on the MARTIN BURLEY PEPPERY STAGE includes Ska, Country, Afrobeat, Bollywood and more. There’s rollin’ reggae and skankin’ ska from the GOLDMASTER ALLSTARS. In a treat for Americana fans THE WANGFORD FOUR will feature HANK WANGFORD and one of the world’s finest pedal steel players BJ COLE. South Indian violin star JYOTSNA SRIKANTH joins BOLLYWOOD BRASS BAND on stage for their “CARNATIC CONNECTIONS” show. And to round off the afternoon DELE SOSIMI’S AFROBEAT ORCHESTRA will bring their joyous and uplifting sounds to the park.
