Harold Hensley croons believable heartfelt lyrics, while keeping the rhythm on guitar, Max Nunery creates a synth like banjo roll, all his own, all while singing that high tenor harmony, Brian Spirk cuts through the mix with percussive mandolin rhythms and leads, that seem to dance with the violin, John Lardinois classically executes other worldly violin parts,while sawing through his instrument on the dance inspired “fiddle songs”, Rob Thaxton holds down a dark and danceable low end on upright bass, making it impossible to sit still.

The Devil Doves– COLUMBUS, OH on the Wagner Subaru lakefront stage
The Devil Doves are one our Canoegrass all time favorites. We are thankful Junior is healthy enough after a challenging year to rejoin the doves in action. I know Canoegrassers will welcome him back with lots of love.
They are riding the success of their self-titled debut record, released on the
DIY label Mingo Town Music, and are branching out from their usual garage sale and grocery store gig. Fronted by Junior Kauffman’s rough vocals and insightful lyrics, and backed the uptempo and aggressive styles of Kyle “Headband” Davis on the cajon and Rico “Thunderstorm” Nassau on the bass, the Devil Doves have become a favorite within the Columbus scene. With the addition of Jeff “Pretty Fingers”
Straw on the keys and the occasional guest appearance of So Long Stargazer’s Kristin Green on backing vocals, the double D’s continue to build a fan base throughout Ohio and beyond with their energetic live performances and creative songwriting.
GREAT MUSIC!
Aug 6 @ 6:00 PM
THE NEW OLD FASHIONED – DAYTON, OH . AUGUST 6 Wagner Subaru lakefront stage.
The New Old-Fashioned is a rock and roll band from Dayton, OH. The New Old-Fashioned third record, Small Town, Midwest, USA, is an attempt to understand America in 2018. The album’s nine songs set forth a cast of characters you might encounter while walking down Main Street in a small Midwestern town – such as the band’s hometown of Dayton, OH – and examines what makes them tick. These are people you know: people from different social settings, economic backgrounds, political affiliations and generations. They’re all slightly at odds with one another, but they have at least one thing in common: home.
Musically, the record takes the band’s rock-with-a-sprinkle-of-country sound and turns it upside down. The rockers rock harder, the ballads are sparser and the twangier tunes dive headfirst into the “garage country” of the New Old-Fashioned’s live shows that was only hinted on previous records. The result is more diverse than the band’s past work while still maintaining a familiar Americana sound.
GREAT MUSIC!
Aug 6 @ 8:30 PM
WOODY PINES – NASHVILLE, TN on the Wagner Subaru lakefront stage.
Woody Pines brings the Ragtime, Boogie, Viper Jazz, Lighting Speed Folk vibes. Full of stomp and swing, and jump and jive. It’s old-time feel-good music done by a young master who clearly understands that this kind of music was always about having a great time.
GREAT MUSIC!
Aug 6 @ 10:30 PM
Jah Soul – DAYTON, OH on Wagner Subaru Lakefront Stage
We are a mostly a progressive bluegrass and folk festival. We have a traditional bluegrass band or two in the mix but we also have a few wildcards. This year we are going over the top with a wild card band. I am getting stoked just writing this!
Welcome Jah Soul to the Wagner Subaru lakefront stage.
What a treat we have for the closing act this year! We are experimenting with you all for the grand finale on Saturday night. Some of our favorite Canoegrass performers will sit in with one of Dayton’s finest party bands. Things are sure to get a little funky with plenty of surprises and maybe a bit of tomfoolery. Jah Soul is a DiScOoFuNkReGgAeRoCkPaRtY! Lets see if our stage is big enough and if they have any folk in them. We know they got the funk!

Farewell Concert featuring Mothman’s Middle Name, Sleepy Andy Tracy and Tony Hall.
Our grand finale this year takes place on the giant SOL Paddle Boards stage presented by The Brightside Music & Event Venue
What a better way to finish the festival than an unplugged show floating on the lake. We are excited to welcome The Brightside as a sponsor of all our floating shows at Canoegrass.
Save some energy for Sunday and do not leave early for this one! We have some surprises in the works.
MOTHMAN’S MIDDLE NAME – FLAGSTAFF, AZ
Born where the foothills of Eastern Ohio meet the mountains of West Virginia, across the wild, wind-struck plains of middle America, and calling the desert Southwest its home, Mothman’s Middle Name is the latest project of Will Vincent and Andrew Kowalski. These brothers in song aim to share their take on the universal truths of love, loss, longing, hopeless hope, and perseverance. Through the stylings of folk, bluegrass, and alternative country, Mothman’s Middle Name takes you along on an Americana joyride, trying to find peace, or something close to it, in life’s many questions, one high, lonesome melody at a time.
TONY HALL AND ANDY TRACY – CINCINNATI, OH
Canoegrassers know these guys all too well. They have performed for years at our festival with Blue Caboose offering some of the most memorable shows in our history. They just might break out the Canoegrass song if you get loud enough. They are incredible individual musicians and we are stoked that they will play during our farewell show on the giant Sol Paddleboards
