Armchair Boogie
Jamgrass, newgrass, funkgrass, whatever you want to call it— Armchair Boogie is rapidly
becoming one of the country’s hottest acts. With an unbounded sound, this Wisconsin-based
quartet is known for their powerful harmonies, timeless originals, and choice covers, along with
unforgettable live performances. Listed as a “Must-See Roots Artists at Bourbon & Beyond” by
The Bluegrass Situation who wrote, “We recently caught this jammy Wisconsin outfit at Earl
Scruggs Music Festival, where they burnt down their late-night set.”
Mama Said String Band
Mama Said String Band— a Louisville, Kentucky based 4 piece bringing their own brand of bluegrass with a focus on vocal harmonies and contemporary instrumentation. Honest songwriting any listener can relate to.
The Matchsellers
For more than a decade, The Matchsellers have infused traditional roots music with a modern, art-house twist. From outer-space operas to bluegrass bookclubs and electronic banjo music mixed with dystopian podcasts, the Matchsellers grapple with ideas of tradition, modernity and Midwestern identity in fiery, beautiful and often hilarious ways.
Hailing from Kansas City, The Matchsellers create a rich tapestry of storytelling, humor, and sentimentality. Top notch harmonies, musicianship and idiosyncratic song & stagecraft have made the group one of the most original and sought-after acoustic groups in the Midwest and beyond.
Them Lasses & The Old Dogs
Them Lasses is a trio of pickin’, singin’ and songwritin’ women spreading joy through harmonies and sunflowers. From lighthearted and silly to soulful and reflective, Them Lasses puts on a dynamic and entertaining show that blends the songs, voices, and vibes of its three members. Fun and folksy to the core, Them Lasses are also known to rock out and get funky with their backing band, The Old Dogs, and are sure to touch your heart, get your feet stomping, and ignite your love for life’s simple joys.
Avacado Chic
Fronted by the legendary Dan Bent, Avocado Chic brings a fresh and unpredictable edge to the folk and Americana scene. With rich storytelling, heartfelt melodies, and a touch of eccentric charm, the band crafts songs that feel both timeless and entirely their own. Every performance offers something new—whether it’s an unexpected arrangement, a spontaneous moment of humor, or a poignant lyric that lingers long after the music fades. Grounded in tradition but never bound by it, Avocado Chic delivers a one-of-a-kind experience that celebrates the spirit of creativity, connection, and sonic exploration.
Live Art & Creativity at the Boogie
Riddle Point Boogie isn’t just about great music—it’s a full-spectrum celebration of creativity, expression, and community. In addition to our stellar musical lineup, we’re thrilled to feature live art experiences happening throughout the day:
Poetry On Demand with Tony Brewer
Bring your thoughts, feelings, or random ideas—Tony Brewer, master poet and typewriter wizard, will take your prompt and turn it into a personalized poem in 10–15 minutes using a vintage typewriter. Thoughtful, weird, funny, heartfelt—you never know what you’ll get, but it’ll be one-of-a-kind.
Live Painting with Angela Bradley
Watch a canvas come to life in real-time as Angela Bradley paints to the rhythm of the music. Her vibrant, intuitive artwork captures the spirit of the moment—every brushstroke inspired by the sounds, setting, and energy of Lake Lemon.
Airbrush & Face Art with Dwight Pepper
From custom airbrushed keepsakes to dazzling face painting for all ages, Dwight Pepper brings color and whimsy to the Boogie. Whether you’re young or just young at heart, stop by and get your Boogie look on!
These interactive art experiences make Riddle Point Boogie more than just a show—it’s a memory in the making.
