www.kingsgoforth.com
SPIN Magazine (4 Stars): With firey singer Black Wolf leading the attack, the fine debut from the Milwaukee 10-man Kings Go Forth (The Outsiders are Back, Luaka Bop) echoes the high-flying vibe of Superfly-era Curtis Mayfiled and other 70s greats, yet feels utterly fresh.
 
DJA-Rara (WMF Brooklyn /Haiti) 7:30pm:
http://www.myspace.com/djararalive#ixzz0vZEpyuuz
The Haitian cultural activist group performs in Brooklyns Prospect Park each Sunday during the summer months, culminating with their
Jouvay performance on the eve of the annual West Indian Labor Day Parade on Eastern Parkway

AfriCaribe (WMF) 6:30pm:
http://www.africaribe.net/
Traditional drumming and dance celebrating the African influence in Puerto Rico and other countries of the Caribbean.
 
Joel Paterson and the Modern Sounds 5:15pm:
www.myspace.com/joelpaterson
The hottest little big band in Chicago performing rockabilly, hot jazz, western swing, classic blues and everything in between. The Modern Sounds are on the cutting edge of the Atomic Age-bringing you the best of
the 30's, 40's and 50's.
 
The Del Moroccos 4pm:
http://www.myspace.com/thedelmoroccos
Dirty R&B and girl group vocals. Knock the Ray-ettes and Link Wray together with a blast of garage, a hit of late '50s black rock n' roll, dress them up like Johnny Cash, and you get a raucous, mean mix of 50s garage.
 
Mississippi Gabe Carter 3pm:
http://www.myspace.com/32244935
Mississippi Gabe Carter picks like the masters of the southern delta while infusing the dark, trancy, reverb-drenched vibe of North Mississippi.
Heavily influenced by the Bentonia, Mississippi sound of Jack Owens, the juke joint proprietor Jimmy Duck Holmes and the legendary Skip James.
 
Golden Horse Ranch Band 2pm:
http://www.myspace.com/goldenhorseranchsquaredanceband#ixzz0vZITnqEi
Founded in 2000 by Annie Coleman and Anthony Burton. Annie grew up calling square dancing at her families resort, The Golden Horse Ranch.
The 6- piece ensemble features mandolin, fiddle, upright bass, banjo, guitar, snare drum/washboard, and the occasional bassoon,
played by a stellar group of musicians from a cross section of Chicago bands, such as Reds and Blue, Palliard, the Lawrence Peters Outfit,
The 1900's, Tangleweed, and everyone's favorite marching band, Mucca Pazza.
