Sweet Baby James

The #1 James Taylor tribute.

Don’t miss Sweet Baby James, America’s #1 James Taylor Tribute, as Nashville musician Bill Griese performs the songs of the legendary JT. Not your typical tribute band fare, and not a “look-alike” act, Griese delights audiences using only his uncanny Taylor-like vocals and guitar playing, and a refreshingly real stage presence. Fans rave, “the next best thing to James,” “close my eyes and it’s JT,” “James would be proud,” “amazing guitar playing,” “everything he does honors JT,” “his voice is spot on.” Enjoy the ultimate James Taylor experience with favorites like “Fire and Rain,” “You’ve Got a Friend,” “Shower the People,” “How Sweet It Is,” and “Steamroller,” celebrating one of our greatest troubadours.

Morgan James

NY-based soul singer, songwriter, and broadway actress.

After graduating from The Juilliard School with a classical music degree, and performing in the original companies of five Broadway productions, James began writing and recording her own music. Meeting her mentor, Berry Gordy, Jr., led to a record deal at Epic Records, where she recorded and released her solo album “Hunter” in 2014. Over the last several years, James has established herself as a touring powerhouse, playing with her own band and symphony orchestras all over the world. James is currently on tour supporting her fifth studio album, “Nobody’s Fool.” She has cultivated a world of fans with her YouTube videos with viral sensation Postmodern Jukebox and her own channel. Using her voice, an instrument through which she can communicate anything, James can make you fall in love at first listen, she can elicit tears, or she can bring you back to a different era altogether.

Green River

A tribute to CCR and John Fogerty.

Green River – The #1 Nationally Touring Creedence Clearwater Revival/John Fogerty Tribute Show is the brainchild of native New Yorker Rick Horvath. “Noodles,” as he is affectionately known, was born to perform this music. The show is very faithful to a live CCR performance. Listeners enjoy a full 90-minute show of their favorite CCR classics (“Bad Moon Rising,” “Proud Mary,” “Up Around the Bend,” to name a few) and songs that Creedence would turn into live jams, such as “Born on the Bayou” and “Susie Q.” The band also mixes in John Fogerty classics, including “The Old Man Down the Road” and “Centerfield,” capturing the energy of his current show.

Kruger Brothers

Swiss bluegrass virtuosos.

Born and raised in Europe, brothers Jens and Uwe Kruger started singing and playing instruments at a very young age. They began their professional career in 1979. CBS Records contracted with Jens and Uwe when Jens was just seventeen years old, and shortly thereafter, the Krugers hosted a radio show on SRG SSR, the Swiss public broadcast group. Several years later, the brothers teamed up with bass player Joel Landsberg, a native of New York City. Together, they established the incomparable sound that the Kruger Brothers are known for today. Since their formal introduction to American audiences in 1997, the Kruger Brothers have become a fixture within the world of acoustic music through their ability to infuse classical music into bluegrass and American folk music.

Shemekia Copeland

Acclaimed american blues and soul vocalist.

Shemekia Copeland, born in Harlem, New York, in 1979, first stepped onstage with her famous father at New York’s Cotton Club when she was 8 years old. By the time she was 18, when she released her Alligator Records debut Turn the Heat Up, Copeland was known as a blues and R&B force to be reckoned with. Now an award-winning singer of blues, soul and Americana, Copeland possesses one of the most instantly recognizable and deeply soulful roots music voices of our time. She is beloved worldwide for the fearlessness, honesty and humor of her revelatory music, as well as for delivering each song she performs with unmatched passion, connecting with her audience on an intensely personal level.

Scythian

Celtic Rock, Irish, Americana Band.

Named after Ukrainian nomads, Scythian (sith-ee-yin) plays music from Celtic, Eastern European and Appalachian traditions with thunderous energy, technical prowess, and storytelling songwriting, beckoning crowds into a barn-dance, rock concert experience. Nashville’s Music City Roots says Scythian is “what happens when rock star charisma meets Celtic dervish fiddling.” The foursome, made up of Alexander Fedoryka, Danylo Fedoryka, Ethan Dean and Johnny Rees, brings various influences together to create a conglomerate that is technically precise and steeped in various folk traditions. The classically trained Fedoryka brothers grew up on Ukrainian folk music and bluegrass, while Ethan Dean was raised on the greats of 60s & 70s folk-rock. Lafayette, LA raised Johnny Rees brings a Cajun backbeat to the Celtic-Americana fusion, giving Scythian yet another dimension that keeps audiences entertained and moving.

Laurel Canyon Band

A celebration of the music of Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young.

Laurel Canyon Band is an acoustic tribute to the music of Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young, featuring recreations of their seminal works as well as songs from their early bands and their solo years. The group consists of Grammy Award winning writer/producer Mark Hudson, Hall of Fame songwriter Gary Burr, and singer/songwriter Mark Mirando. These three talented true fans of all things CSN&Y take you back to the days of the palm trees and sunshine of Laurel Canyon, California, where some of the greatest music in history was born.

Be sure to bring a chair or blanket to sit on, and whatever food and beverages you wish. Come early and tour the Dorflinger Glass Museum and Museum Gift Shop that are open until 4pm. In the event of inclement weather, performances may be held at the air-conditioned auditorium of the Wallenpaupack Area High School, Hawley, PA. If in doubt on the day of performance, visit online after 12pm at www.wildflowermusic.org, or call 570-253-5500.
