Lineup

Meet the 2026 artists.

This year's bill moves from irreverent local folk to soulful worship-rooted storytelling to raw Michiana blues.

Folk + roots

Brides of Neptune

Folk, blues, and offbeat Goshen fire

Brides of Neptune bring the kind of local originality that makes a meadow concert feel alive: folk and blues, a little mischievous, a little reverent, and unmistakably Goshen. The band has been noted by Good of Goshen for its funky, fiery folk/blues sound, local venue appearances, and connection to the area music scene. Vocalist Erin Floyd has described the group as irreverent folk and folk rock, with songs that can feel both tongue-in-cheek and sincere. For Music in the Meadows, they give this year's lineup its rootsy, communal heartbeat.

Singer-songwriter

Marcus Clingaman

Soulful worship, country warmth, and veteran-rooted storytelling

Marcus Clingaman is best known publicly through Marcus & Marketo, the worship duo he formed with Marketo Michel after the two connected through a shared love of music, faith, and service. Their sound blends Marcus' country and soul instincts with gospel-rooted harmonies, creating music that feels both familiar and deeply personal. Their work has been recognized in regional showcases, including Acorn Theater singer-songwriter competition honors and Oaklawn's Got Talent coverage. On the Meadows stage, Marcus brings a human, story-first presence shaped by worship, resilience, and community.

Blues

Q Sonics

Raw, direct blues from Michiana players

Q Sonics is Kevin Q's vision of the blues: direct, unfussy, and built to connect with a live audience. Elkhart Jazz Festival program notes describe the group as performing at nightclubs, events, and festivals since 2015, with Kevin Q on vocals and guitar, Marlon Moore on bass and vocals, and Earl Richard Brenneman on drums. The band's sound fits the close-to-the-ground spirit of Music in the Meadows: music that comes straight from the heart, made for listeners who want the feeling in the room as much as the notes.

Sunday afternoon

Music starts at 1:00 PM at The Acres at Jamestown.

Bring a chair, settle into the meadow, and make an afternoon of live local music, food vendors, and community support.
