Entertainment Lineup

The Bill Peterson Gospel Choir The sweet, soothing breathy tone of Feist or Edie Brickell, and the gut-wrenching raw tones of an old soul or gospel singer. Frank Lindamood “Frank Lindamood is the real deal.” Tom T. Hall "Frank Lindamood is a life-long student of the likes of Leadbelly, Blind Lemon and Jimmy Rogers. His songs ring with voices and voicings from the past. He’s a bare-knuckled guitar player, a master of early century banjo style, and a lucid but gritty bender of notes on his metal bodied resonator. His 2010 Gator bone Records release, ‘Hewed From the Rock”, is a solo masterpiece of original songs, whose no-overdubbing, no-pitch correcting, one-take production style salutes and honors the masters Lindamood has studied.” The Sopchoppy Examiner Hot Tamale "Craig and Adrian are consummate entertainment professionals. They are easy to work with and very accommodating. Their musical repertoire is a broad crowd-pleaser….. Craig and Adrian are so affable and can create a strongrapport with crowd members. I wholeheartedly recommend Hot Tamale for any event – they will engage attendees and be a unilateral crowd pleaser!" Dr. Rachel Sutz, organizer of the Gulf Aid Concert, 7/26/10 Well Worn Soles Well Worn Soles is an acoustic country/folk duo based out of Sopchoppy, Fla. The duo is comprised of singer/songwriter and instrumentalist, Emerson Wells-Barrett, and vocalist/fiddler, Chelsea Dix-Kessler. Known for their harmonies, songwriting and chemistry on stage, Gurf Morlix comments, "Well Worn Soles write, sing and play with consummate charm…” They have recently released their debut CD, Country/folk, a collection of 10 original songs and one cover written by their former band teacher, Will Parsons. "If Hank Williams Sr. or Woodie Guthrie had female duo partners, they likely would have sounded like Well Worn Soles."
