Band: The Cherry Pickers
 The Cherrypickers are a country music band that takes it’s name from Cherry Grove Farm in Lawrenceville, NJ. The Cherrypickers love to play "classic" country music -- like the stuff of Hank Williams, Johnny Cash, and Merle Haggard -- but they also infuse their country repertoire with American "roots" music by the likes of EmmyLou Harris and Gillian Welch.
Cherry Grove Farm's husband and wife singing duo, Kelly and Anita Harding, lead the band on vocals and acoustic guitars. Rounding out the band are Hopewell residents Mark "Slappy" Hill on lead guitar and Guy DeRosa on harmonicas; Hamilton resident Dave Valentino on drums; and The Village Bakery's Bo Child on electric bass and mandolin. C'mon out for a toe-tapping evening of country music under the stars performed by some of your friendly neighborhood local yokels!

Band: Stringzville
 Stringzville is a jazz quartet (plus) that performs jazz standards with a bit of Gypsy Jazz and Bossa Nova thrown in to spice things up. Individually, Stringzville's members have their roots in many musical genres, but all the members of Stringzville have one thing in common: they share a passion for acoustic string jazz music, which they define as jazz played on acoustic stringed instruments.
Acoustic string jazz greats Joe Venuti and Eddie Lang, Django Reinhardt and Stephane Grappelli, and Henry "Homer" Haynes and Kenneth "Jethro" Burns -- not to mention the unsung bassists and rhythm guitarists who helped these jazz greats to really swing – are but a few who serve as Stringzville's musical inspiration.
