8-10pm The West Egg Swing Band The West Egg Swing Band, led by singer Sebastian Ross, brings the swing back to the multiverse. Their music, reminiscent of Glenn Miller to Frank Sinatra to Michael Buble, gets listeners into the "Sway" of the sounds.

4-6pm KFC Named for the first initials of its membership—Kevan Stoneknuckle (dwarf), Frank Hart (human), and Charity (elf)—this trio was founded after Frank came to Rhydin from his native Tennessee, guitar in hand. A fan of country music, he introduced it to his new companions and they took to it with unexpected fervor.

8-10pm The Beat-Elves Quite possibly the multiverse's only Beatles tribute band made up entirely of elves, the Beat-Elves play their inspiration's classics with a fantastic twist. And shout.

——- Wednesday 6/22

4-6pm Quiz's Mariachi Band Halflings and gnomes playing mariachi? Only in Rhydin!

4-6pm There And Back In Tune Another a capella group, this one is a band of dwarves who sing the ancient songs of their people, proving that dwarven music isn't all dirges.

8-10pm OrcNation An interesting follow-up after the dwarves, OrcNation—led by half-orc Dirk Gurren—are a band of grunge rockers that take their grunge seriously. They are kind to children and respectful to their fans, though.

——- Friday 6/24

4-6pm Faery Lands Forlorn Glam rock with a touch of glamour.

8-10pm AFTERGLOW With strong lead vocals from Lyra and an all-around solid performance by the group, AFTERGLOW's sound evokes such bands and artists as Siouxsie & the Banshees, Iggy Pop, Blondie, David Bowie, and Queen.

——- Saturday 6/25

4-6pm Rhydin Electric Orchestra Following in the footsteps of Jeff Lynne, this band fuses classical symphonic tunes with electric rock to make something new.

Zydeco Nexus featuring Rockin' Louis A recent addition to Rhydin's musical scene, Zydeco Nexus brings their unique Louisiana sound to the stage. They are notable as the only zydeco band to include an enchanted alligator in the person of Rockin' Louis.
