High Strung will headline the Patrick County Music Association (PCMA) show on Saturday, April 26, at the Rotary Building in Stuart.
Doors open at 5 p.m., with music starting at 6 p.m.
PCMA President Denny Alley said High Strung has never performed at a PCMA event before.
“Not here. They travel a lot and tour a lot, they’re down in North Carolina a lot,” he said.
Alley noted that the band’s bass player is a regular performer during the Coffee Break’s Tuesday morning jam sessions. The restaurant’s Jam Band will also take the stage during Saturday’s show.
Following this performance, PCMA will host three more shows before taking a summer break. Monthly shows will resume in October.
For the May show, Lonesome Heart and Barry Collins & the Mudflappers are set to perform. June’s show will feature Shelton & Williams and Jordan Morrison & the Foothill Boys.
Alley said the third upcoming event will be part of the Songwriter’s Circle Series, to be held at the Star Theatre on May 17.
“We have Jerry Salley, a three-time Grammy winner from Nashville, coming. He wrote songs for Chris Stapleton and won a Grammy about a month ago on Chris’” song “It Takes a Woman,” he said.
Salley, a 2018 and 2019 International Bluegrass Music Association (IBMA) winner, has recorded approximately 300 songs during his career.
Roger Handy, Miller Hopkins, Barry Hutchins, and Will Hutchens are also scheduled to perform during the show.
As seating is limited, advance ticket purchase is required.
“They’re cheaper to buy here at the Coffee Break than anywhere else. They’re $10 here, and the day of the show—if we have any left—they’re $20,” Alley said.
He added that some people have already called to purchase 10 to 12 tickets at a time.
“Because this guy [Salley], he’s the real deal. Him and Will and Barry will do the last set together,” Alley said.
Concessions will be available for purchase from the Patrick County Shooting Education Team, with proceeds supporting firearm safety education for local youth.
