Earlier in the day, the proverbial musical seats were warmed up by an outstanding lineup of young performers, ages 8-18, who enamored the gathering crowds with their songs in our first-ever “Opening Act” youth open mic set, sponsored by Spaceship Earth Coffee Co.
After Linville, Pug, and Moreland left the festival crowds mesmerized, the After Hours party continued at DWNTWN 312 with the genre-bending musical guest Desure, while Spaceship Earth hosted the songwriter’s songwriter and haywire hippie, Ben McKenzie.

Joe Pug
Joe Pug returns to the Dancing Rabbit Music Festival. A singer-songwriter known for his lyrical acumen and plaintive harmonica style, he has released a string of critically acclaimed albums and toured heavily in the U.S. and abroad since 2008. Paste Magazine wrote of his music: "Unless your surname is Dylan, Waits, Ritter or Prine, you could face-palm yourself to death trying to pen songs half as inspired". With his new album, “Joe Pug: Live at the Old Town School of Folk Music” releasing April 25, 2025, festival goers are in for a show!
