STRUNG LIKE A HORSE
Aside from having the catchiest name of any group on the regional festival circuit, these artists are among the brightest lights in the sonic constellation of Chattanooga, TN. Constantly evolving, the group has appeared at every GET OFF THE GRID FEST but never with the same line-up. The iteration of the band taking the Main Stage for this year’s fest is fronted by singer-songwriter and spiritual leader, Clay Massell, backed by bass guitar ace, Danimal, multi-instrumentalist Tyler Martelli and a team of solid percussionists. Their music is a kaleidoscope of genres including countrified rock, and gypsy-jazz with a twist of choreographed burlesque. 4:00 PM – 5:30 PM
NATTI LOVE JOYS
From the Blue Mountains of Jamaica to the Smokies of east Tennessee and onto the rolling Cherokee Hills of the Carolinas, Natti Lovejoys share their unique and original reggae music for their fourth festival appearance. A contemporary and fellow Wailer with Bob Marley bassist JahTi collaborates with his partner Marla (keyboard and vocals) as well as their daughter Bemi who has launched her own album and career this year. Backed by a coterie of musical friends their performance, as the name suggests, has plenty of ‘love’ and ‘joy’ built in. 2:30 PM – 4:00 PM
THE MOSIER BROTHERS
“The Rev” Jeff Mosier is the founding member of Blueground Undergrass, a music pioneer that merged bluegrass instruments and traditional tunes with the magnetic energy of rock and roll by combining bluegrass purism with jam band sensibilities. The Mosier Brothers served as a middle ground between the traditional bluegrass flavored sound of Good Medicine and the “wall of twang” of Blueground Undergrass.
They still jam, but the lyrics and harmonies of The Mosier Brothers now sit in the front seat. Mosier says, “I hope The Mosier Brothers will open up new avenues for the original music me and my brother Johnny have played for more than a decade, allowing us to better tell our stories and bring our experience into a connection with the people and audiences of the ever-growing and eclectic world of Americana; a music world that holds great value in preserving live music’s value in our world and culture.” 12:30 PM – 2:00 PM
JESS GOGGANS BAND
Jess Goggans has been breaking the sound barrier in clubs and venues across the southeast. She and her band serve up a tasty gumbo of bluesy originals and tributes to iconic artists such as Janis Joplin to whom Jess has been stylistically compared. This will be their fourth appearance at GET OFF THE GRID FEST. 9:45 PM – 11:30 PM
MAYHAYLEY’S GRAVE
Mayhayley’s Grave is anything but morbid and sepulchral as the name may imply. The music of this Southern Gothic Vaudeville and Burlesque twinged circusian, steam-punked group defies description. Fronted by a duo of powerful singers in James Davies and Demi Hartley and backed by their brazen bandmates, the group takes its audience on a journey between poles of the divine feminine and masculine-sometimes dark and foreboding, always energetic, the ride is magical. 9:45 PM – 11:30 PM
CUBanASONG
This Atlanta-based group with core members hailing from Matanzas, Cuba, the home of Danzon and Rumba, delivers a rich tapestry of rhythms with vocal harmonies and a spirit of improv. You can expect traditional Trova ballads, to various forms of Cuban dance music such as Son Montuno, Guarachas, Cha-cha-cha and modern Salsa. Sisters Judith and Lisset Rodés on vocals & percussion are joined by fellow Matanzas native, concertmaster Irina Vasquez on violin, Mick Kinney on piano and Elise Witt on vocal harmonies & percussion. 3:30 PM – 5:00 PM
ELISE WITT
Elise Witt is a living muse who has inspired her audiences and classes to lift their voices in song throughout the Americas and in Europe. With multiple albums in her discography she is versed in six languages and has shared stages with the likes of Bobby McFerrin, Jackson Browne, Terri Garthwaite and Nanci Griffith. Elise will bring her singing workshop, An Impromptu Glorious Chorus™ to GET OFF THE GRID FEST. 11:30 AM – 12:45 PM
