The Ohio Freer Collection, Sit Kitty Sit, the Amples and Cougar Kick will all take the stage in honor of Agins. A New London-based guitarist who played with the Royale Brothers and the Road Side Attractions, Agins passed away in 2008.

In addition to fine tuneage, there will be a silent auction, merchandise, and food and drink.
