Friday, June 6, at 7:30 p.m., Will Caudill and Rt. 7 will be our featured band. They always do such a great job entertaining. Their sound is a mix of lonesome nostalgic and hard-driving bluegrass that will move you to sing along, tap your toes, or get up and cut the rug. Will’s originals are all about Letcher County and specifically the Blackey area down Route 7 where he comes from. We always love to see them coming and are sad when they leave. You just don’t meet folks like these every day! Come on out! You will see what we mean!

Friday June 13: The Country Troubadours

Friday June 20: Cross Country Bluegrass

Friday June 27: Dawson Creek

Aspiring singers and musicians who want to share their talents are invited to play during intermission on Friday nights. The target audience is bluegrass/country/ folk. Limit two songs per individual/group until all who wish to pick have had a turn. Rotation as time allows. You will always find a kind and receptive crowd. We have some veteran musicians playing in featured bands who played their first public appearance as a novice on our stage. This is an opportunity to break the ice and get your feet wet so to speak. Everyone is more than welcome to share their talents!

Family fun for all ages. Kids get in free when accompanied by an adult. Good food, good music, good fellowship.

A merry heart doeth good like a medicine: but a broken spirit drieth the bones.

Proverbs 17:21-23
