Johnny Orr Band
North Carolina is known for the creative musical talent it has sent to the world stage, and Raleigh’s Johnny Orr Band (JOB) is on its way to seeing its name added to the list of renowned contemporary Country acts. Formed in 2007 by dynamic vocalist and main songwriter Johnny Orr, guitarist/vocalist Gino Latarulo and bassist/vocalist Jack Getz, later adding drummer Bill Eagen, JOB has opened for Kenny Chesney, the Zac Brown Band, Little Big Town, Gretchen Wilson, Parmalee, Cole Swindell, Tyler Farr, Jason Michael Carroll and more. In 2012 the band won the prestigious American Country Star talent competition in Nashville, starting a buzz that has opened the doors for the band to take its career to the next level with its new EP, DOWN SOUTH.

3:00 PM: Crossoverdrive
Crossoverdrive
Any CROSSOVERDRIVE set will boldly weave a fabric of icons seemingly pulled from the Rock n Roll Hall of Fame itself... you can groove to an Aretha Franklin, James Brown, Led Zeppelin or Pink Floyd tune, a jumpin current hit by Pink, No Doubt or Lenny Kravitz & slide into revived versions of great 60's & 70's party favorites by Santana, Three Dog Night or the Rolling Stones and so much more.
This band is seriously ALIVE and makes these songs their own! Reverance stirred with wild enthusiasm this band is relevant for anyone with 2 ears & a beating heart. Seriously, I'm not sure I've seen a band cover this much ground!
Kris' amazing lead vocals are worth it alone, but add Bobby's bold, blues riffs, Tim's razor-sharp, melodic guitar playin, Troy's ultra poppin, funky bass & Chris' big-energy, deep pocket drum grooves... catch the big band with horns, percussion and extra vocalists - PAPOW!! Do yourself a favor & Check Em Out!!
