FRIDAY THE DONNAS

JUNE 15 8:15PM – 9:45PM WEST STAGE – ROCK TWENTY-TWELVE

“I am so glad we decided to make a Greatest Hits because it let us re- live some of the best moments of our career” says power-house lead singer Brett Anderson. “Part of the charm of those early songs is their lo-fi sound, but it was fun to give them a super- charged makeover now that we've played them live so many times”. The 16 track hits package features two brand new songs, two never- before-heard bsides from their self- released 2007 album Bitchin’, and live versions of hits “Take It Off” and “Fall Behind Me”. And Donnaholic super- geeks rejoice: also included are “I Don’t Wanna Break Your Head” and “Teenage Rules”, two extremely rare, unreleased tracks from the band’s now-classic debut album. “We’re very excited about those two tracks” says Allison Robertson. “They were meant to be released in Japan years ago but never came out. We thought they were long gone, and all we had were foggy yet fond memories of how the tunes actually went." The Donnas also re-recorded five tracks, remixed one and included two alternative versions of songs from their hugely influential Lookout! Records catalog (1998- 2001). “Re-recording our older songs was like opening a time capsule” says Brett.” I could almost smell the donuts baking in the middle of the night next to the Mail Boxes Etc. where we recorded our very first songs”. The Donnas: a four-way, equal partnership of women in friendship, art and business. A rare trust exists between these members that most bands could never dream of achieving in a similar group dynamic. That is why most bands break up and The Donnas continue to stick together and thrive, celebrating sixteen candles… and counting. … and when they come back to rock Canada, the whiskey is on me.

FRIDAY matt d & the JUNE 15 profane saints TWENTY-TWELVE 10:00PM – MIDNIGHT CENTER STAGE – OUTLAW COUNTRY

"I have been in and around music, and the business of music, since the early 1970s. In all of that time I have heard a lot of bad music, a lot of good music, but very little GREAT music. This is GREAT music; well written, well played, solidly produced. "Dirt Town City Limits" is, from beginning to end, the finest example of Americana Rockabilly I have ever heard. I listen to it almost daily, and hear something new every time. It stacks up with Haggard, Cash, Elvis, and kicks the liver out of most major label attempts in this genre." - Jim Pipkin, Independent reviewer and contributor HickoryWind.org

SATURDAY HER AND JUNE 16 KINGS COUNTY TWENTY-TWELVE 10:00PM – Midnight EAST STAGE – COUNTRY

A great man once said, “Rock and Roll will never die. ”In the hands of the band HER & Kings County it will live on forever.

The brainchild of Caleb Sherman and Monique Staffile, HER & Kings County was born in a apartment where banjos, and pedal steels competed with the horns and shouts of the city streets. Within the raw dirt of New York grew the sound that is HER & Kings County - City Country; a mix of bluegrass, hip- hop, good ‘ol finger pickin’ country and rockin’ head-banging riffs. If were casting a movie about a non-stop band-on-the-run, they need not look any further than the members of HER & Kings County. There’s Monique, the consummate front woman - Robert Plant, David Lee Roth, and Fergie all rolled into one; Caleb “KBC” Sherman holds down the musical fort playing just about any instrument ever made, in addition to producing and co-writing the band’s music; Brother Love on drums – the curly-haired Dean Martin, dedicated to the ladies; A Wonder on lead guitar is the “rock star’s rockstar” – somebody wake him up so we can get back on the road; F Bomb, the bass player, got his name cause the stage shakes and rumbles when he lays into his four string; and the bad man Justin “Jail Bird” Sherman, the guitar player your mother should have warned you about. From year to year and club to club, the band did what they only knew how – rock! After cutting their teeth in the city streets, they got in a van, packed their gear in a trailer and was rollin’ thunder down the highways and byways of America. From Hollywood, the Carolinas, Nashville, to deep in the heart of Texas, HER & Kings County have been everywhere - opening for Kid Rock, Montgomery Gentry, Charlie Daniels, and Dierks Bentley, to name a few. No matter the gig-clubs, bars, or arenas, the result is the same every time-- devastating. Harking back to the days of Aerosmith and , HER & Kings County’s live performance has become legendary. Their City Country sound has converted new fans to country and alike. After hundreds of shows, and thousands of miles, the industry started to take notice. Sony, Universal, and Warner Music Nashville all wanted to be a part of their , but it was Warner Music Nashville/ Elektra that won out in the end. When the ink on the deal stopped bleeding they joined forces with Red Light Management. With Elektra Nashville, Red Light and CAA, Monique, KBC, Jail, Brother Love, F Bomb, and A Wonder are roarin’ like a freight train, faster than ever, and are ready to take over the world. Whether it’s on the web or performing live, join HER & Kings County in raisin’ a little hell. SATURDAY JACOB MARTIN

JUNE 16 8:30PM – 10:00PM EAST STAGE – COUNTRY TWENTY-TWELVE

Jacob Martin, an American country/rock band known for their catchy songwriting and their energy filled live performances, was created in 2007.

After having played in many bands over the years, singer/songwriter extraordinaire Jacob “Martin” Ronfeldt, from Sioux City, Iowa finally decided to put together his own musical vision after connecting with Swiss born guitarist Marco Kielholz. Though starting out as a rock band, it soon became clear that the true calling and direction of the band, was to mix the best of both Jacob’s country roots with, guitarist and backing vocals, Marco Kielholz’s rock background. After reconnecting with Jacob’s childhood friend Dave Sieveking on bass & backing vocals, the trio went on to spend two years writing, producing, and recording their debut album “Country in the City.” The album features an incredible array of talent including; Jimmy Olander (Diamond Rio), 70’s icon Cynthia Johnson (Lipps Inc), as well as Nashville veterans like Chad Jeffers (Keith Urban, Carrie Underwood) and Dan Hochalter (Gretchen Wilson) to name a few. Minneapolis born drummer Josh Carlson completed the quartet in 2009 while recording the album. The band set out to write songs that people could relate to lyrically as well as musically. Their own unique blend of country & rock quickly earned them a faithful following along the Upper Midwest, and led them to appear alongside national acts such as James Otto, Justin Moore, and Jerrod Neimann, as well as high profile shows at Country Fest in Cadott, WI and at the Iowa State Fair. Singer Jacob Martin’s journey has been nothing short of astounding. Struck by polio in his childhood and battling addictions for many years, he overcame the odds by believing in his God given musical ability and his knack for writing stories that relate to issues people connect with. Jacob Martin’s songs accentuate the positive things in life and take the listener on a journey that touches on faith, love, forgiveness, friendships and family. Aside from being a charismatic performer, Jacob’s sense of humor shines through in songs like “Go on now Git” and “Along Came a Girl.” He recounts his struggle with polio which nearly left him paralyzed in the emotional “Frozen”, and is not afraid to give praise to his Lord & Savior in “God gave me you.” The single “How ‘bout a Ride”, with its heart pounding blend of rock guitars and fiddle, quickly gained the attention of radio stations in Wisconsin, Minnesota, and Iowa, and has helped spread the word about the band. After getting noticed by music industry execs in Nashville, the band is currently in the process of relocating to Tennessee where it hopes to further it’s appeal and keep on spreading the word.
