- 2:00 - 2:45 -- Sound Inc -
Although their name suggests a brand of carefully manufactured elevator music, Sound Inc is nothing of the sort. The band crafts their own unique blend of tight funk, loose jazz, and classic standards. They have recently been named Best Under 18 Jazz Comba by New Hampshire magazine and performed at the Best of NH Party at the Verizon Wireless Arena.
- 2:45 - 4:00 -- Funk Bus -
The funk-rock sextet started in 2000 as a three piece band playing small events. They frequently play in Downtown Concord including recent appearances at the Teen Concert Series, Market Days, and the first annual Rock 'n' Race fundraiser for the Payson Center for Cancer Care.
