Andy Beck “Act Like Actors” A regional favorite will be replacing Jamie Kay who unfortunately had to cancel due to a death in the family. We wish Jamie and his family God’s blessings during this time of loss. Andy Beck is a rising star on the Singer/ Songwriter scene who has been performing in and around the Hickory area during the past few months with rave reviews. Andy’s songs reflect the personal urgency of our times through passionate and descriptive lyrics! Andrew Beck has been playing guitar, writing and performing live for 10 plus years. Yay-Hooray was the first of a series of Indie Rock bands he played in and toured in through parts of the east coast. Beck has studied under Jaret Carter, and Reggie Harris and others.

Kevin Leftwich
Kevin currently writes and performs his own style of alternative country music. He just completed his first album "The Ghost in the Keyhole" which is a mixture of country and rock with a hint of bluegrass. Kevin is a straight from the heart performer and is a welcome addition to this year's Shop Stage

Madam Pamela
A singer/songwriter out of Hickory NC, originally from Portland Maine.
Brent's music is often described as "unique". His guitar rhythms have been critically acclaimed as being "like an Eiffel Tower made out of toothpicks". With an ironic approach to lyrics and a soulful 'sand and glue' vocal style, a must see this year on the Shop Stage
