THE 11TH ANNUAL
OCT. 13th 2024 11AM - 4PM \\ MAIN STREET \\ CALIFON, NJ
MAIN STAGE
CALIFON HELLBENDERS
Serving up explorations of their favorite tunes from a myriad of genres; ‘80s rock/pop, ballads, B-side classic rock, Grateful Dead, Kenny Loggins, and more, the Califon Hellbenders are self-described as “good time folk-a-billy jam pop dance party rock.” Hailing from Califon (Jason Beard, Brian Goad, and Dan Hemberger), with imported bass and vocal skills via Pat Walsh from Lawrenceville, they play what they like, which—given their collective 200 years’+ of living experience—can cover a lot of ground.
The Hellbenders give people a reason to get their bodies moving but are also known to explore the soft underbelly of music across genres. With tunes you’ve heard and some you have not, their music promises a good time.

Diamond Eyed Jack
​​
Diamond Eye Jack celebrates the music and community of the Grateful Dead, bringing the energy of the 1970s-era Grateful Dead and JRAD to the entire catalogue of Dead, Jerry Garcia Band and all the blues, rock, country and R&B cover songs played by the bands throughout their careers. Crowds are gathering from across New Jersey and Pennsylvania to hear lead guitarist Luke Youngman masterfully evoke the pure essence and tone of Jerry Garcia and dance to the band's ability to recreate that unique feeling of being at a Grateful Dead concert through their improvisational setlists, exploratory jams, crisp harmonies, and powerful rhythm section. At their shows, you can often shop at the many "Shakedown Street" vendors that follow the band and catch the good vibes starting from the interaction of band members on stage that emanate throughout the crowd.
