2005 Performing Artists

Based in Petoskey, plays local venues and parties. The Atwood Green Band is best known as a "classic rock band with a twist". In existence in various incarnations since the early 70s the band consists of original members guitarist/keyboardist Mark Manker, and drummer Andrew Ellison. With the addition of former Wolverine resident Matt Manker playing bass guitar the trio is complete. The Atwood Green Band prides itself on being able to cover contemporary music styles from the 50s to current day, providing excellent dance and listening music. A strong dance beat, harmonious vocals, flavored with exciting guitar solos create a musical atmosphere that will entertain all night long. The band will also be featuring original music as a preview to a CD release party in August in coordination with the Blissfest organization.

Sneaky Pete is a long time favorite of many who visit the Wolverine Lumberjack Festival. Sneaky Pete, his wife Cathy, and their children give a high energy performance in which you will hear the banjo, mandolin, harmonica, guitar, sax and a family of voices singing with great enthusiasm.
