5:00 - 9:30 p.m. - Lac La Belle | Jennie Knaggs and Nick Chillace make up the Americana duo Lac La Belle. Their sound juxtaposes the early decades of recorded rural American music with decaying Rustbelt aesthetic. A tradition is re-imagined—or maybe just resumed—in the 'future-ristic' swirl of accordion, ukulele, mandolin, banjo, resonator guitar and harmonizing vocals. Knaggs is a Hollerin' Champion in both Virginia and Kentucky, and Schillace is considered an authority on early 20th century American fingerpicking guitar styles, with two solo releases and his sough after thesis, "John Fahey and American Primitivism; The Process of American Identity in the 20th Century." Their newly released second album, "Bring on the Light" boasts 12 original works and one traditional arrangement, including intimate anecdotes and stories of their hometown Detroit.
