Gypsy Trip will take the stage after a brief intermission, playing a variety of pieces including “Oblivion” and “Libertango,” by Astor Piazzolla and arranged by McQuade Dewhirst. Selections also will include “Mad Men/Nature Boy,” by RJD2/Eden Ahbez, arranged by Videos Recorded Live and re-arranged by Adam Gaines; as well as “Daddy’s Gone,” by Vojslav Aralica and translated by Adam Gaines.
