Performer details:

Tempest is recognized
as a driving force in the modern folk-rock movement. Fusing traditional material
with high-energy rock intensity, the band is renowned for its dynamic and electrifying
concerts. It's a Beautiful Day is famed for its hit song 'White Bird,' a melancholy
ballad that stood out not only for its memorable vocal melody and "seize
the day" message, but also for frontman David Laflamme's slow-burning violin
solo. Shana Morrison, daughter of Van Morrison, began performing with her group
Caledonia in the SF Bay Area in 1996. Her electrifying performances and CD releases
have received rave reviews in roots music circles. Wicked Tinkers combines the
emotion and power of the Great Highland Bagpipe, ethnic drums, didgeridoo, and
the Bronze-age Irish Horn into a unique fusion of danceable, tribal sounds.
Slim Bawb & Gator Bait play "swampgrass" music. Slim Bawb is Bob
Pearce, leader/songwriter of the Sacramento-based act The Beer Dawgs. Bawb plays
banjo, reso-guitar, mandolin and mojo stomp.

The Auburn Gold Country Fairground is located at 1273 High Street in Auburn,
CA. Karfluki Fest will take place rain or shine. Tickets are $25 (kids under
12 free with guardian). For complete festival details, including how to purchase
