As the third year of Bruce Hornsby’s Funhouse Fest draws closer, the lineup continues to expand.

The Virginia Arts Festival announced Friday singer-songwriter Amos Lee and soul singer Deva Mahal will join Alison Krauss and the rest of the performers during the festival, which returns June 22-23.

Lee’s folk-rock style garnered attention when he toured with jazz musician Norah Jones in 2004, and he has since opened for the likes of Bob Dylan, Paul Simon and the Dave Matthews Band. His songs include “Arms of a Woman,” “Sweet Pea” and “Colors.”
