7693 Cove Hollow Road, Elliston
Gates open at 2:30 p.m. | Show starts at 3 p.m.
$5 | Free camping
www.farmout.org
We think that you cannot go wrong paying $5 to see this pack of fine local and regional bands at a beautiful farm out in Roanoke County. By the time The Lobsters get through with you about 1 a.m., you'll be lucky if you can crawl away from the grounds, so you'd better be camping. Listen to our podcasts with The Lobsters, The Wading Girl and The Discordian Society.

Clark sticks out in the IO mind as a female hat act. Some women who play country music don a hat occasionally, but Clark sticks with it religiously. She's also lassoed herself a herd of hit records.

This may well be the most exciting show of the week. Too bad there is so much else going on. But if you're a blues lover, you probably ought to get out to Floyd to hear this woman, who has the brass to wear what looks like a Viking-style washboard (couldn't resist the pun), and can sing her backside off. Hear her on the IO Jukebox.

To call this guy a bluegrass or folk legend is unfair. Watson plays blues, jazz, ragtime, old-time — ah, any kind of time — like the master he is. His touring guitar-partner, Jack Lawrence, tears it up, too.
