Saturday: 5:15pm, Worldbeat Stage @ Adams Park AMERICANA/HONKY TONK


SARA PETITE www.sarapetite.com


Not just a original voice, Petite is a natural song- writer, evidenced by the fact in her first-ever songwriting competition, three of her songs advanced in the International Songwriting Competition in 2005, with two making it to the semi-


finals. Since then, she has been honored in many com- petitions around the country. Being called everything from “outlaw country” to “AAA singer-songwriter,” Petite’s songs revive fond memories of history, home, and travels.


Saturday: 7:45pm, Roots Rock Stage @ 34th St.


SCARLET SYMPHONY www.myspace.com/scarletsymphony


Comprised of twins Zach and Josh, and a pair of witty front men, Gary and Aaron, Scarlet Symphony rocks out with a sound described as “Atomic Casserole.” The band’s dance/pop/punk/rock sound fights off the death-grip of boring music and boring musi-


cians. This fierce force of a science experiment gone incredibly right wears capes of art and carries swords of poetry. They use the powers of theatrics and expan- sive musical sound to sweep down and avenge the integrity of music. If you were once afraid to venture into the night for fear of encountering monstrously lame bands, fear not, San Diego! Scarlet Symphony needs only be called upon to save you from a wasteful night at a show.


Sunday: 4:45pm, Rock Stage @ 33rd St. ROCK


SCOTT WEST www.myspace.com/scottwestsexonsunday


Austin singer-songwriter Scott West blends Latin beats, swing, honky tonk blues, and rock into his high-energy set. West occupied the top spot on MTV’s “Best Music on Campus” for 36 straight weeks in 2008 after the release of his CD Standing on the Moon.


Saturday: 12:30pm, DiMille’s Stage AFRO BEAT


SENE AFRICA www.myspace.com/seneafrica


Amadou Fall and Ibrahima Ba were born in Dakar, Senegal, West Africa in the mid-1970s. Fall’s early memories are laced with the sounds of the kora, a unique 21-string African instru- ment. He began learning to play at 11 years old and, at 15, he honed his talents and style.


Ba was inspired by the singing, drums, and guitar


rhythms of the all-blind INAS Orchestra. In his early teens he would walk by the river or sit near the ocean, training his voice and the finesse of his hands on homemade guitars. He also became proficient, playing drums and percussion.


Sunday: 1:30pm, Worldbeat Stage @ Adams Park AMERICANA/FOLK


THE SMART BROTHERS www.myspace.com/thesmartbrothers


The Smart Brothers are a trio that sings, dances, and plays an army of musical instruments – from lutes to slide whis- tles. Apart from being multi-instru-


mentalists, spirited performers, and intrepid trouba- dours, the three brothers – Jay, Lou, and Mickey Smart – feature powerful vocal harmonies set in catchy all-original tunes. Dressed in dapper suits and armed with charm to spare, a Smart Brothers’ live perform- ance is an event that will have you on your feet danc- ing and singing.


Saturday: noon, Roots Rock Stage @ 34th St. SKA/REGGAE


SOCIAL GREEN www.myspace.com/socialgreen


With sights set on chal- lenging the status quo, Social Green seeks to blend reagge, ska, rock, and funk under an umbrella of culturally and socially thought-


provoking lyrics. Their first release, The New Mutants EP, was a 6-track classic record that has since acquired a legendary status and is a highly coveted piece of the band’s early history. The band has shared the stage with the Slackers, English Beat, Eek-a-Mouse, Voodoo Glow Skulls, Buck O’ Nine, Mad Caddies, and Elijah Emmanuel. Social Green is Ian Crosby, vocals; Adam Chini, keys, vocals; Jon Carter, bass, vocals; Justin Burton, drums; Jordan Chini, lead guitar.


Saturday: 1:45pm, DiMille’s Stage ROCK/BLUES


THE STONE FOXES www.myspace.com/thestonefoxes


The four San Franciscans in the Stone Foxes have an energetic style that’s rooted in swampy, foot-stomping blues- rock. Their freshly released sophomore


album, Bears and Bulls, tackles ambitious arrange- ments with diverse moods ranging from acoustic twang to thunderous electric-guitar riffs. While the Stone Foxes may be influenced by the greats of the late 60s and early 70s, they never sound like they’re trying to be anything but exactly who they are.


Sunday: 1:45pm, Rock Stage @ 33rd St.
