Lineup for BandTree 5

A great group of musicians has been slated to perform at BandTree 5. I saw a lot of these people at last year's reunion and I can safely say I've never been more surrounded by so much awesome talent. Tell me where else you're going to get 10 solid hours of great music for five bucks! For more information about this years's BandTree, please see my earlier post. Meanwhile, here's the lineup!
