(14) 1-3pm: Kludge Light

"Kludge" is an informal engineering term that loosely means something that probably should not work but does. Something hastily thrown together, that may look ugly but actually works. 2 of the founding band members are engineers, and we thought this would be an appropriate name. Kludge Light will do a 2-piece acoustic set for Porchfest.
