Every day that the fields are open, they will have local musicians performing from 5:30 p.m. until sunset. Performing on Aug. 10 will be local artists NLB with Guava Lava. They are a hybrid of acoustic and electric, with J.J. Reed on bass and vocals, Nat Longordo on vocals and acoustic guitar, and Nick on electric guitar. It started out as a funky reggae, acoustic rock and pop band. Since then, it has evolved throughout the years and they’ve incorporated hundreds of more songs extending into the far past, but also into today’s music. They’ll play songs from Elvis and Johnny Cash all the way up through modern country, rock, and pop.
