Upcoming Performances

Heartland Bluegrass Gospel Concert Schedule

Court Square Theater
Back to Back Bluegrass:

Court Square Theater fan favorites Darren Beachley & Legends of the Potomac and Bill Yates & The Country Gentlemen Tribute Band!

This package deal for back to back weeks in October will have your toe tapping and your head nodding to these popular performers. One handily discounted purchase gets you both shows [Darren Beachley - 10/7, Bill Yates - 10/14].

"Pairing Old School talent with contemporary bluegrass creativity and drive, Darren Beachley and Legends of the Potomac are sure to make and indelible impression on acoustic and bluegrass music fans everywhere. Darren's incredible bluegrass voice is spectacularly set off by years of talent he has assembled within the Legends of the Potomac...To listen to Darren Beachley and Legends of the Potomac is to experience a shinning example of what is right in bluegrass music today."

Founding members of the Seldom Scene, Mike Auldridge (http://www.mikeauldridge.com/) and Tom Gray (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tom_Gray) will be performing.

"Bill Yates and friends 'The Country Gentlemen Tribute' is a wonderful way to pay homage to a group of influential bluegrass musicians including the great Charlie Waller...Upon hearing this listeners will be taken back to a memory of times past when music was raw talent and pure emotion."

Local Jams & Festivals

Grottoes Jam
Every Thursday 7PM - 10PM
Located in and old theater, this is a great place to go pick with a full range of talented musicians. I've never found a more friendly and open place to go pick. This jam is definitely friendly towards novices, and Leon Irving, who heads up the jam, does a great job of making sure everyone gets a chance to take a break. The last Thursday of each month, a featured band entertains the crowd from 7-8PM, and then is followed by jamming. Otherwise, it's nonstop jamming from 7PM - 10PM every Thursday night. Directions

Cross Keys Jam
Every Wednesday 7PM - 9PM
This jam affords an opportunity for beginners to work on their group picking skills from 7PM - 8PM. Then from 8PM - 9PM, the more experienced pickers are invited to join in. I believe Brian Bridges heads up this weekly jam at a church between Harrisonburg and Port Republic. For directions and more visit their website: http://shadygrove1.com/
