Friday night’s Main Stage headliner is Tan and Sober Gentlemen, beginning at 9:15.
The music of the Carolinas, (and Appalachia in general) stems from the marriage of the Irish fiddle and the African banjo, which first met in the American South before the Revolution. The Tan and Sober Gentlemen aim to bring these traditions full circle. They play Irish tunes, ballads, and pub songs right next to the Appalachian fiddle tunes of their youth, melding the two into what they call “Irish-American hillbilly music.”
Sol Driven Train
The Dick and Tammy Show will play on the Commscope Stage Saturday October 12, 3:30 to 5:00.
Justin Clyde Williams and Tyler Hatley met many years ago in a dive bar tucked away near Sherrills Ford, North Carolina and the rest is going down in history…somewhere. Terrorizing the juke joints and dives across the Carolinas – commonly referred to the “Best damn Nick Jamerson cover band east of Prestonburg” – the boys joined by their best favorite fiddlin’ cousin, Lightnin’ Mark Parks to bring you the Dick and Tammy Show. This awe inspiring evening of harmonious musical rendering will include a set of original songs, followed by some of the traditional country, Red Dirt and Americana songs we all love.
Sol Driven Train, a versatile 5-piece band that blends pop, folk, and funk influences is the headliner for the Main Stage on Saturday, October 12, 2024.
Unspoken Tradition
Sunday, October 13 brings Unspoken Tradition to the Commscope Stage at 12:30. Unspoken Tradition is about new, original bluegrass. Inspired by their own influences and the roots of traditional and newgrass music, this North Carolina based quintet brings a sound that is both impassioned and nostalgic, hard-driving and sincere.
