The Wandering Hours and Morgan Brake

Banjo, mandolin, fiddle, guitar and upright bass make up the folk-rooted sound of The Wandering Hours, the Tampa Bay string band Creative Loafing named the region's best bluegrass band in 2024. The group has shared bills with the Del McCoury Band, Leftover Salmon and Railroad Earth, played Gasparilla and the Florida Folk Festival, and booked its own Irish tour; its album is From the Mountains to the Sea. Sharing the Fogartyville double bill is Morgan Brake, a Florida bluegrass and country singer-guitarist nominated for vocalist of the year in the International Bluegrass Music Association's Momentum Awards for emerging artists. Her first single, "Stuck Loving You," was produced by Richard Bennett, with Sierra Hull and Jaelee Roberts singing harmony.
