• Kullizion
Kullizion, a talented group of Carlisle, PA High School freshman, makes a return visit this year to GGAF. The group formed in the spring of 2006, performing a special piece—“Funky Buckets”—on five gallon buckets and metal pails in their school’s spring concert. Kullizion has gained special attention from top Pennsylvania politicians, playing for Governor Ed Rendell’s Inauguration Celebration in March of 2007 and PA Department of Environmental Protection Secretary McGinty.

• The Lovell Sisters Band
This trio of Georgia peaches, who also happen to be sisters, blend gorgeous vocals in heavenly harmony and play mandolin, fiddle and dobro, and are joined by talented collaborators on guitar and bass. The Lovell’s music has roots deep in bluegrass Appalachia, and branches growing ever upward and outward, towards parts as yet unknown. The Lovell Sisters Band has arrived and is making its presence felt here at GGAF!





• Off’n Ensemble
Off’n Ensemble, a Philadelphia-area contra dance band together for over 15 years, plays an engaging mix of rhythm-driven Irish, New England and Old Time music for dances, weddings and parties from Connecticut to Virginia. Contra dance callers Donna Hunt and Shane Knudsen join the Ensemble this weekend so Green-goers can give the fun and easy art of contra dancing a whirl!

• Rik Palieri
How many performers do you know who are as at ease singing tunes by Bluesmen Leadbelly and Son House as they are at telling a folk tale to children before leading them through a traditional Polish folk song and dance? Through his long and varied experiences as a performer, Palieri gracefully segues from original tunes on guitar to old traditional "Americana" folk songs on banjo, to intricate, involved ballads from the mountains of Poland on the rare and exotic Polish bagpipes. Palieri is a performer who can take his audience on a musical jaunt around the world without ever leaving the festival!

• World Dance of Lancaster (International Folk Dance)
Zita Angelo, a Lancaster-based international folk dance instructor with World Dance of Lancaster, has been involved in IFD for over 30 years and is dedicated to presenting World Dance to as many people as possible, in a relaxed and accessible atmosphere. She enjoys sharing her love of IFD in the belief that it promotes wholesome social interaction, provides intellectual stimulation including appreciation of many cultures and styles of music, and is such an enjoyable way to exercise that one looks forward to participating. No previous dance experience is necessary, just a willingness to learn and have fun!

• Adrienne Young
This darling of the Americana music scene is making her second appearance at GGAF. Adrienne Young is such an ardent supporter of sustainable agriculture that she bundled seed packets into the liner notes of her Grammy-nominated first album, Plow to the End of the Row. Adrienne is deeply committed to FoodRoutes and “Buy Fresh, Buy Local,” so much so that she has integrated a national responsible-farming awareness campaign and fund-raising effort into the release of current CD, Room to Grow, creating a perfect marriage between her convictions and her talent.

• Zydeco-A-Go-Go
Zydeco-A-Go-Go, the Mid-Atlantic’s premier practitioners of Louisiana dance music, is bringing the zydeco party to the people. Their motto is: “Laissez Les Bon Temps Rouler!” (“Let the Good Times Roll!”). The band makes it look so easy, bringing festival-goers, dancers, and revelers the music they can’t resist—ZYDECO!—.a blend of Cajun two-steps, funky New Orleans rhythm & blues and swinging Louisiana rock & roll. It all adds up to a wild & swingin’ ZYDECO DANCE PARTY! Speaking of which, the band will host a rollickin’ dance party each afternoon, so be prepared for FUN!
