Food and wine festival concerts

What times are the concerts usually start? Are there more than one each day?

They are usually late in the afternoon and there usually are a min of 2 per day. They are short (20-30 min) and there is almost always a line. This is true for Flower/garden festival too.
Plan on getting there 20 min early at the least.

3 each day. 2013 start times were 5:30, 6:45 and 8:00 PM. All concerts I've seen lasted 30 minutes. Some artists play the same set and others mix it up between the 3 showings.

we try to see at least one set of each entertainer that is there while we are.
weekdays are usually less crowded, but in many, many shows, we not once seen no seats available, even on fri/sat/sun nights.
if you want to sit right up front, you'll need to get there hours early to queue (yes, there are groupies )...else, in our experience, there is some seating and lots of standing room even after the concerts start.
