Then, on May 7, immerse yourself in the sultry tones of Laura Gonzqui, whose Latin-fusion sound is sure to invoke a festival-like feel. For the finale on May 21, Americana fans will enjoy the harmonies brought by Palmyra, whose folk-inspired melodies bring together raw emotion and artistic storytelling.
