Doors Open at 6:30 pm

Location: Buskirk Chumley Theater

Lotus is excited to start the festival out with a bang! Our opener, Coolmule, is the latest and greatest Midwest old-time band to emerge, like Brood X cicada –  inevitable, unstoppable, often buzzing in the key of G. They will make the cloggers clog, the dancers go berserk, and the newly wedded couple cry. They are HOT and as cool, as, well, a mule. Our featured band is Telmary & HabanaSana. Telmary is a Cuban rapper, musician, and spoken-word artist. Her music effectively brings together two worlds that seemed disparate, combining music genres, tearing down cultural barriers, and connecting people of different backgrounds and languages. With a powerhouse band to back her up, Telmary will rock the BCT!
