Get your dancing shoes out and get ready to boogie. This week’s show and the fourth concert in the season will open with Adam Bolt followed by headliner Ryder Casey Band.  The opening act will begin at 7 with intermission scheduled for 7:45 and the headliner will be taking the stage at 8.  The event is scheduled rain or shine on the lawn of the mansion.  Severe weather may force cancellation so stay tuned to all forms of media for updates.

Adam Bolt Bio

Adam Bolt is a songwriter, performer, recording artist, storyteller, and the Tourism Coordinator for The Town of Abingdon, VA in SW Virginia. With ever the stories to tell, Bolt's show is one that you would be sad to miss. Having performed with various acts and in venues across the Southeast Region, fronting his band, The Roas'nears, is where you can get the full flavor experience of Bolt's songwriting, but his solo show is where the story gets laid on thick. You can find anyone of his 5 EPs that he has recorded and released in the past 6 years on all online music platforms."
