American Roots Music & Arts Festival

• Brings music fans together with local food, beer, and crafts vendors at “The Taste of Raleigh Food & Brews Celebration,” scheduled to take place at the festival throughout the weekend.
• Eric Church: With a trademark sound that mixes outlaw country rock with bluegrass, Carolina twang and lyrical specificity, Church has made a name for himself with hits including “Smoke a Little Smoke,” “Love Your Love the Most,” and “Springsteen.” His latest, The Outsiders, was 2014’s best-selling country album.
• Modest Mouse: Since their indie beginnings in the 1990s, the band has grown to become a household name without sacrificing their longtime fan base. Their latest, 2015’s Strangers to Ourselves, continues to rely on frontman Isaac Brock’s cosmically fascinated bark across 15 new songs that AllMusic.com describes as bouncing between “stylized eccentricity and streamlined strangeness, stopping occasionally to soak in a scenic, dreamy view.”
• Sheryl Crow: The genre-hopping singer-songwriter shows off the skills that have made her a nine-time Grammy winner, tapping into intimate country tunes and breezy rock hits alike, from “Soak Up the Sun” to “All I Wanna Do.”
• The Roots: This venerable Philly hip-hop outfit, founded by rhyme-master Black Thought and ubiquitous drummer ?uestlove, made their mark as one of the first real bands in hip-hop. Somehow they’ve since managed to record Grammy-nominated albums while juggling their day/night job on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon.
• Willie Nelson: With 11 Grammys, more than 60 albums, and collaborations that run the gamut from Merle Haggard to Ray Charles to Snoop Dogg, this country icon has earned his legions of fans thanks to his easygoing twang, lived-in grin, and massive repertoire of crossover classics.
• Warren Haynes: Grammy-award winner known for his guitar work with the Allman Brothers Band, Gov’t Mule, and the Grateful deal performs as a solo act with encompassing acoustic arrangements, a rootsy/Americana soundscape, and honeyed vocals.
• Also Appearing: Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros | Grace Potter | Chris Stapleton | Railroad Earth | Leftover Salmon | Greensky Bluegrass | Trombone Shorty & Orleans Avenue | and more | View the full lineup
