Carolina East opens the night with a mix of country and pop that sets a warm tone with her powerful vocals. Dan George of Nick Earle and The Reckless Hearts returns to stage for the third time of the festival, holding down the rhythm section on drums, alongside Jacob Earle on the bass. She brings a genuine connection to her performance.
Her set is both engaging, as she takes the time to connect with the crowd and talk with them between songs, making her a great start to the night.
