You must be prepared to wear flame retardent clothing when wittnessing the face melting guitar work of BC Carr. All the ladies say his licks put him in a class all his own. Jimmy “Krackcorn” Krekeler and Evan “Stone” Gatch, the bass and percussion of the Nuge, will awaken parts of your inner rock soul that has remained dormant for far too many years. Many people have wondered whatever happened to rock legends Roger “Coal” Ash and Kenny “Finding Nemo” Niemann and AJ “Corvetta” Chivetta. Well folks, we have found them pounding out the relentless rythms that the “Nuge” spews onto the hoards of their evergrowing legions of followers. If that wasn’t enough, and it well should be, what epic musical group would be complete without the zany madcap stage antics of keyboardist Tim “Where’s my Lampshade” Hanser. Be a witness to a rock-n-roll adventure into the sublime. Once you become “Nuged” you too will know why this is “Live Rock at its Livest”. Get Yer Nuge On!

If you replace “football” with “music” you’ll have an idea of Sean Coray’s story. Throughout his tough upbringing in St. Louis Coray tenaciously refused to let circumstances break his spirit, but used them instead to strengthen his character and determination. In 2008, he took every last penny he had saved, bought his first guitar and began bringing his songs to life. Influenced by John Mayer, Gavin DeGraw, and legends like Herbie Hancock and Ray Charles, Coray’s sound is a sweet mesh of acoustic, jazz, rhythm & blues and soul. Last year, Sean released his first album and is on his way in the industry. Saturday, May 4 6:00pm – 7:30pm One Take One Take plays a diverse mix of acoustic music drawing on the soulful traditions of folk, bluegrass, reggae, jazz and blues. Their blend of styles appeals across age groups, and is for those who appreciate music that is both energetic and mellow. One Take was voted 2012 Best Folk Artist by the Riverfront Times. Saturday, May 4 8:00pm – 10:00pm Hazard to Ya Booty Hazard to Ya Booty was just another mid-level funk band trying to make it in St. Louis. Then something happened. During an open jam one night at practice they used an alchemy of funk, rock, and soul to create a groove so powerful, so profound, that the music itself became physical. The funk had so much stank on it that the room smelled funny, so the band laughed and dubbed this new music CRUNCH FUNK. Hazard has just completed work on a full-length crunch funk opus entitled The Precipice, which drops this spring. ✮ Find Your Way Around microfest ✮ Welcome Center Boulevard & Iron Barley VIP Experience Shock Top Music Stage VIP Experience Hill Cigars Food Ticket Sales Port-a-Potties Widmer Brothers Brewing Goose Island Tasting Tent Silent Auction Tasting Tent Crown Valley Brewing & Brewer’s Lounge Food Row Port-a-Potties Deschutes Brewery Goose Island Demo Tent Belgium Trio Shock Top Exit Trash WWW.HENDRICKSBBQ.COM Worm’s Way, STL Homebrew, St. Louis Wine and Beermaking ✮ International beers ✮ Ay i n g e r B r e w e ry: Ay i n g , G e r m a n y Brauerei Aying has a long-standing reputation for excellence in beer and hospitality.

Commercial brewing started in 1811. Lambic, or spontaneously fermented beers, are the beers of this region and are among the world’s rarest: they are the only beers fermented via wild, airborne yeast - no yeast is added by the brewers. Lambics come only from the Senne River valley, near Brussels - a region about 15 by 75 miles in size. The unusual, demanding, and unique flavors that come from multiple yeast strains are unmatched in the world of beer. Merchant du Vin introduced Lindemans lambics to the United States in 1979, making them the first lambics marketed in U. S. history. To this day, they are the best selling brand in the category. • Cuvee Renee Lambic (Oude Gueuze) • Faro Lambic Murphy ’s: Cork, Ireland • Irish Stout • Irish Red Ale Pau l a n e r : M u n i c h , Bava r i a , G e r m a n y • Hefe-Weizen • Original Lager • Premium Pilsner • Salvator Dopplebock S A BM i l l e r • Pilsner Urqull draft • Peroni draft • Grolsch S a m u e l S m i t h B r e w e r y : Ta d c ast e r , England The Old Brewery at Tadcaster was founded in 1758 and is Yorkshire’s oldest brewery.
