DONALD KINSEY (born in Gary, Indiana ) is an American guitarist and singer . He is known for fronting The Kinsey Report (formed in 1984 with brothers Ralph and Kenneth Kinsey, and Ron Prince), as well as touring and recording with Albert King , Peter Tosh , Bob Marley & The Wailers , Roy Buchanan and Big Daddy Kinsey . He is one of three sons of the late blues performer Lester "Big Daddy" Kinsey. Donald will headline this concert and take the stage at approximately 9:15PM.

PLANETARY BLUES…Three brothers. One band. One mission. Planetary Blues, based in Valparaiso is formed by the trio of Martin Schaefer-Murray (guitar and lead vocals) Bobby Schaefer-Murray (bass) and Michael Schaefer-Murray (guitar). The band has been paying dues in Midwest bars and at local festivals for nearly a decade. Planetary has organized shows with Son Seals and the Kinsey Report, as well as played the
Chicago Blues Festival.  Planetary re-awakens the sensibilities of late-60s social consciousness, embodies the down-and-dirty working class ideals of the blues, and represents flashes of the cultural impact that funk, soul and hip-hop has had on all three brothers.

ENERGY COMMISSION is new band comprised of  Double Dragon, Danielle Cales, and Planetary Blues.  Danielle Cales is a beautiful singer-songwriter that walks the thin line of complex moving poetry and down to earth sensible lyrics.  Double Dragon is Hip Hop with hippie soul, folk sensibility, and the attitude of rock-n-roll. Genre defying and provocative - no sound is out of bounds.
