    Ron Polimeni: An old time race driver once observed that the primary reason for racing cars is to generate stories. To that end I've been involved in motor sport all my life. 25 years spent behind the wheel of tractor trailer trucks had much the same effect as the race driving.   Retired now, I'm attempting to pick up where I left off 50+ years ago as an illustrator and writer.   I'll be depending on the current members to show me the way. I thank you for giving me the opportunity to work with you.

    Helltown Riffraff: 7PM

    Advance Tickets: $18 | General Admission: $22

    The Helltown Riffraff began in late 2017 as the backing band for Jeremy Rodgers' solo material. They are quickly gaining a following in the Shenandoah Valley and beyond for their gothic blues and rock with a country twang. Led by Jeremy's growling baritone and sinister songwriting, supported by Lani's warm harmonies and solid backbeat, driven forward by Charlie's funky and melodic bass grooves, and rounded out by Marie Andrews on glowing vocals, colorful ukes, soulful flutes, and other odd instruments, the Helltown Riffraff will have you nodding your head and smirking along all night. 

    Shenan Hahn is a singer-songwriter from Lebanon Church, Virginia. Her songwriting imbues blues-tinged country and folk with raw vulnerability and timeless storytelling tradition. Originally from Virginia but molded by her experiences living and working in Oregon and Alaska, Shenan's music is deeply rooted in a sense of place, whether it's the wide-open landscapes of the West or the familiar, rolling hills of the Shenandoah Valley. Spooky sounds. Haunting melodies.

Concert: Nikki Morgan

Concert: Nikki Morgan

  • Doors Open: 5PM

    Opener: 6PM

    Nikki Morgan: 7PM

    Nikki Morgan’s music sits somewhere between rhythm and blues. It’s Dolly AND it’s Tina.
    As the daughter of a minister and kin to a lot of church folk, Nikki grew up listening to traditional Gospel/Christian music and spent much of her grade school days involved in school band playing clarinet and oboe. But despite her early exposure to music, it wasn’t until 2015 when she finally began to start making music of her own.

    “North Carolina gave me breath, Chicago gave me life,” and you can hear her express that candidly. There is a striking balance of Southern charm and Midwestern grit that make for a sound that is unique to Morgan, yet refreshingly familiar. Nikki is a genuine powerhouse who’s excitement to share stories is matched only by the earnestness in her voice. Whether you call it Country or something else, Nikki Morgan’s sound has the potential to stand the test of time as a modern day classic.
