World-class musicians and bands from all over the east coast will gather at Mike Dianna’s Grill Room in Corolla May 16-17 for a weekend full of nonstop live music at Mustang Spring Jam 9.
Saturday will be headlined by the Roosevelt Collier Band, known for rolling blues, rock, gospel and funk into one of their famous “get-downs”, featuring Roosevelt’s lightening-fast slide work on the pedal steel.
“Hey everyone, I need you to get excited for Mustang Spring Jam 9 this May where we will be headlining one funky, swampy night,” said musician Roosevelt Collier. “Get your traveling shoes on, getcha presales and meet me on the dance floor!”
Rock and soul by nine-piece band The Commonheart, an eclectic jamgrass set with The Plate Scrapers, some foot-stomping psychedelic funk by Marvelous Funkshun, plus earthy blues tunes by Outer Banks songbird Ruth Wyand & The Tribe Of One will get the crowd primed for day two of Spring Jam.
Sunday will feed everyone’s soul with a full day of live music starting at 1:30pm and the US Foods’ Grilled Cheese Cook-Off from 2-5 p.m.
The Nth Power will headline Sunday fusing soul, jazz, funk and world-beat into a spiritual dance party that will take festival-goers to another level.
Chicago blues steeped in New Orleans rock by piano prodigy Neal Francis paired with white-knuckled rock-n-roll by The Blackfoot Gypsies, funk, soul and R&B by Erin & The Wildfire, progressive folk by Violet Bell and tunes by the Mustang Outreach Program student bands will give the crowd a heavy dose of great live music on Sunday.
“I’m going to fly like an eagle on the Outer Banks this May,” said musician Neal Francis. “Can’t wait to give the best damn show you’ve ever seen.”
Spring Jam will conclude with the official after party starting at 10:30pm at Sundogs with pop rock by Hedonistas.
