Quite possibly one of the most dynamic and intriguingly unforgettable performances of the whole festival was by Kansas City natives The Wilders. Their fierce brand of Old Time and Bluegrass fusion mixes with their rock-and-roll-type of energy to just absolutely get the crowd going.

Fiddler Betse Ellis and upright bassist Nate Gawron shined the brightest for this set, but that doesn't mean the other players were dull to any extent. The whole outfit is just top notch.
