Vasti Jackson
headlining Saturday

His voice is a cocky, scratchy, unpolished baritone filled with optimism, playfulness, shades of backwoods Mississippi and sometimes the other Elvis, Elvis Costello......
It is also filled with kindness when he talks with his fans and gives them his full attention.
Who is this Master Story Teller Who says .....
Stand there and do nothing
But if you want to go far
Don’t try to please everybody
And be proud of who you are
