One day outside the story
Music beyond
the screen.
Seven familiar names. Three stages.
One last day of summer.
Platform No. 0 · Admit your imagination
The last summer of the century.
A good place to spend the afternoon.
Wyld Stallyns · Nick Rivers · Sex Bob-Omb · The Soggy Bottom Boys · The Blues Brothers
For one day, an old railway station welcomes musicians from stories that never quite shared a world. There are loud guitars in the Yard, close harmonies beneath the canopy, and a saxophone in the Waiting Room.
Come for a familiar song. Stay for something you missed the first time. All three stages are a few minutes’ walk apart.

A few introductions,
in case it has been a while.
Rock across time
Bill S. Preston and Ted Theodore Logan are two friends from San Dimas with big guitars and an unusually complicated rehearsal schedule. Wyld Stallyns bring people together with a song that reaches across time.
Bill and Ted close the festival. Big guitars, a generous finale, and an audience that has come a little further than usual.
Rock & roll / surf
An American teen idol with an Elvis-sized stage presence, Nick Rivers moves easily between rock & roll, surf songs and late-night ballads. His overseas tour took a few unexpected turns. The songs survived the detour.
Nick opens the Yard with Skeet Surfing and a little room to move. Later, he trades the open air for the Platform: Spend This Night With Me sounds just as good in the afternoon.
Garage rock
Scott Pilgrim, Kim Pine and Stephen Stills make up this Toronto garage band. Their songs are short, rough around the edges and played with conviction. A modest rehearsal space has never stopped them from making a considerable amount of noise.
Short songs, loud amplifiers, and the energy of a rehearsal room with the door left open. They take over the Yard twice. Earplugs are a sound investment.
Folk & bluegrass
Everett, Pete, Delmar and guitarist Tommy Johnson became a recording sensation almost by accident. Close harmonies, a wandering spirit and I Am a Man of Constant Sorrow have carried the Soggy Bottom Boys further than they expected.
Close harmonies and songs that travel well. Their first set starts beneath the old platform canopy, with a shorter return as the light begins to change.
Soul / rhythm & blues
Jake and Elwood Blues put their band back together to save the orphanage where they grew up. With a formidable rhythm section, a full set of horns and an unwavering sense of purpose, the brothers know how to get a room on its feet.
The evening opens with a full horn section and enough rhythm to fill the old railway yard. We have left plenty of room in front of the stage.
Special guests · Visiting from Pawnee
One town. Two very different evenings.
Duke brings the quiet confidence; Mouse Rat bring the singalong.
After-hours jazz
Duke Silver is a saxophonist with a devoted following and a quiet life outside the spotlight. By day, he answers to Ron Swanson. By night, his warm, unhurried jazz makes a small room feel like the only place to be.
Find Duke in the Waiting Room for two unhurried sets, then follow him into the Yard. He joins Mouse Rat for Catch Your Dream: one hometown, an unexpectedly good duet.
Bar-band rock
Andy Dwyer’s Pawnee band has gone by Scarecrow Boat, Nothing Rhymes with Orange and quite a few other names. The constant is a fondness for earnest rock songs and a chorus everyone can join. Their best-known tribute, 5,000 Candles in the Wind, remembers Li’l Sebastian, a small horse with a very large following.
One evening set in the Yard, with Duke sitting in on Catch Your Dream. Save a little voice for 5,000 Candles in the Wind. You do not have to know the words before the first chorus.

Between one story and the next
The ticket hall is open, the tracks have become paths, and the old departure board is carrying a different sort of programme. There is no last train to catch.
Open air. Big sound. Room to dance.
Under the canopy. Acoustic sets, up close.
Small tables. Warm light. Saxophone.
