The initial summer lineup includes:

• Leon Bridges, fresh off the release of his fourth studio album “Leon,” bringing his signature soul and R&B sound to the mountains
• O.A.R., returning to one of their favorite venues for another memorable performance, with special guest Blind Melon
• Michael Franti & Spearhead, known for their unique blend of hip hop, funk, reggae, jazz, folk, and rock
