1st Act: The Mimic (Starting around 6)
Jeff Colby and Austin Greene are The Mimic–an eclectic mix of upbeat, mellow, dreamy, soulful, thrashing, noir, familiar and yet original brilliancy with nothing more than a guitar and a voice.

2nd Act: Matt Miller (Starting around 7:15)
Matt Miller’s songs encompass a wide range of styles, with strong jazz and funk influences, with splashes of Tom Waits, John Prine, and Morphine. He plays baritone guitar (tuned between a guitar and a bass), alto sax, and flute, and writes songs as they appear to him out of the air.

Performing all-original music for 5SAFE at the Garryowen Upstairs (AKA the GO Too): (Note that, because of the music that begins downstairs at 10 PM, 5SAFE at the GO Too will end at 9:30 PM)
1st Act: John Dolly (Starting around 6)
When John Dolly is not grading math papers, he is strumming his guitar and working on his next song. They have a heart beat and a conscience, catchy choruses, clever word play, and you will always find the confounded bridge. He writes story songs about struggle and contentment, relation and isolation, getting away and coming back home; and if you’re not careful, he just might write a song about you.

Jon Ingels is a guitarist and singer/songwriter from Waynesboro, Pennsylvania who has written music for Big Whiskey, the Boro Boogie Pickers, Slackwater 3, and the Lowdown Grasskickers. Jon’s lyrical content is a mixture of storytelling, timeless topics, and geographic imagery backed by folk chord patterns, simple melodies, and a blues driven rhythm. His songwriting influences include Steve Earle, Jim Lauderdale, Bob Dylan, and Richard Thompson.
