Switchback
On Saturday, the creative and energizing eclectic sounds of “Switchback” will emanate from Pioneer Park from 10 a.m.-noon and 1-3 p.m.

With roots in Jazz, classical, country, and blues the members of “Switchback” bring an array of styles to the festival sure to please all music lovers. The group features classic country, rock and roll, new age, rhythm and blues, including tunes made famous by Garth Brooks, AC/DC, ZZ Top and Waylon Jennings.

Lunch will be available at the Ephraim Senior Center adjacent to the park and will include barbequed turkey, potato salad, baked beans, homemade rolls, homemade pastry, and bottled water. Eat inside or in the park. This menu will be offered until the food is gone.

The main stage in front of the Noyes Building on Snow College campus will be host to nearly non-stop entertainment with the return of some familiar groups as well as new talent.
On Friday from 4-5 p.m. the local group “Mabel’s Music Box” will start things rolling with some great bluegrass music, a festival favorite. This group of all females is made up of students at Snow College and promises to be most entertaining.

During the Little Scandinavian Supper on Friday evening, the well-known bluegrass group “Cold Creek” will be the featured entertainment. “Cold Creek” is from American Fork and performs across Utah and the western states. Their music is a blend of traditional and progressive bluegrass and features tight vocal harmonies as well as picking and playing.

On Saturday at 11 a.m. after the parade the “Sanpete Stompers,” a clogging group, will kick off the lineup for Saturday. The Stompers are comprised of local dancers who consistently perform with a high level of energy and talent.

Lincoln Highway
At noon “Lincoln Highway” will be on stage with their distinctive sounds of mountain music, bluegrass, Celtic, acoustic country, Utah pioneer, old-time fiddle, and early American folks music. Bluegrass and gospel music are included in the repertoire of over 50 tunes. This band has been a favorite in the past and will certainly be one of the must-see groups during the festival.







Corri Connors
At 1:30 p.m. the main stage audience will be favored by the mellow sounds of Cori Connors from Farmington. From small but renowned venues such as the Bluebird Cafe in Nashville to Britain’s famous Liverpool Cathedral, Cori Connors carries her fresh voice to audiences worldwide. She has performed in England and Wales and as one newspaper noted, “touches a common chord shared by all of us.”










Cold Creek
 “Cold Creek” will return at 3 p.m. for another hour of bluegrass favorites. The band is comprised of Bill Sprunger on guitar and lead vocals, Blaine Nelson on banjo, Nate Olson on fiddle, Andrea Ivey Banner on bass and lead vocals, and Jake Workman on mandolin.







Phat Ol' Professors
Last, but certainly not least, the “Phat Ol’ Professors” will be taking center stage at 4 p.m. The “Professors” are a local favorite and capture the hearts of audiences with their authentic renditions of oldies. The band is made up of Snow College professors and their associates and has repeatedly delighted audiences with its special brand of music both instrumental and vocal. It is a special treat to listen to this group of local talent with toe-tapping and sing-along musical numbers.
