11:00 AM Kripalu Yoga

4:00 PM Trevor Smith

In a world of 'sensitive guys with guitars', it truly takes to cojones to be a'mildy sensitive guy with a ukulele'.
Coming straight from Hartford, Connecticut and now at Boston's prestigious Berklee College of Music Trevor blends his folk influences and catchy uke-pop hooks into a hodgepodge of tunes talking about love, hate, life, and toast.
He's had the good fortune to share the stage with artists ranging from The Academy Is... and Cobra Starship to Robert Randolph and John Medeski. Onstage he has lent his instrumental and/or vocal talents to bands such as Hartford's own funk fusion group The Monday Barbers (vox/guitar), Livingston Taylor, the soulful Flowvaltine (guitar/uke/vox), The Tighty Wighty Trio (vox/guitar/uke), Boston's Shake N' Bake (vox/uke), and Weezer (ukulele).

9:30pm High School
Adam Dotson-euphonium, Dave Sleinenger-guitar, Joe Moffett-trumpet, Jason Nazary- drums.

High School is an improvising quartet which features the compositions of Adam Dotson. High School bounces jaggedly back and forth from driving rhythmic punky intensity to folky melodic gentle lyricism. Within all of the compositions and improvisations there is the intention to bring the energy of simple folkiness as well as a true spirit of exploration and new sound worlds.

The members of high school quartet are involved in a vast array of projects including Rubblebucket Orchestra, Gleason's Twin's, The Rex Complex, and Bell to name a few. Members of High School have had the honor of sharing the stage with New York improvising masters such as trumpeter Dave Douglas, guitarist Joe Morris, drummer Gerald Cleaver, and saxophonist Andrew D'Angelo.
