Country folk and driving bluegrass spin out from The Giving Tree Band, whose dense harmonies and rock spirit evoke the enduring magic of Bob Dylan, Neil Young, and the Beatles. Eric and Todd Fink'the songwriting powerhouse brothers on guitar and banjo'pen narratives that unfurl with joy and charm. Dubbed 'the greenest band in the land' by Mother Earth News, this group performs on instruments made from reclaimed and naturally fallen wood, has produced recordings fueled by solar energy and packaged with recycled and biodegradable materials, and helps maintain its carbon-neutral footprint with bike commutes. Starting at 6pm, you can browse the Green Fair for products and resources for sustainable practices, and bring your youngsters to the Bike Rodeo hosted by The Bike Project of Urbana-Champaign for tips on bike handling and safety. OUTSIDE at the Research Park is held just southwest of Assembly Hall on First Street in the Research Park. Parking is available in the lot south of the Caterpillar and SAIC building at 1901 South First Street.
