Steppin' Out Dates

RocketMusic · #1 07-16-2008, 05:33 PM

Blacksburg's annual "Steppin' Out" festival is coming up the first weekend in August. Blacksburg blocks off most of downtown & sets up several stages. The main one always has a fairly massive PA

In addition to tons of crafts & foods, they run music pretty much constantly all weekend.

I'll be playing with The Kind at Champs on Friday night, August 1, 10-2. I'll also be playing on the main stage on Saturday, August 2nd from 5-6 PM with Melissa Reaves (along with George Penn & Mike Kirby, once again).

You can see the schedule for all three stage here:

It's a great weekend, a great time for families and friends of all ages to catch a ton of great music. Come on down!

Your business partner and great guitarist in his own right will also be playing with his honky-tonk band, 3 Minute Lovin', on the main stage on Friday at 7pm and at the Cellar on Saturday night. Come on out and hear both sides of Rocket Music.

Right you are, Steve!! And, of course, you'll be on bass with the Lovin'!

Are there any other TB'ers out there playing Steppin' Out?

I won't be playing, but I'll be in crowd. Can't wait to see you jam with Mike and George.

Bummer - looks like George and I won't be playin' with Melissa on Saturday. She got a gig in Roanoke that evening that neither George nor I could make, so she found another bass player and drummer that can do both. Oh, well, ya'll should still check her out - what a voice!!!

Just a reminder - I'm playing tonight with The Kind at Champs in Blacksburg. We'll start around 10 PM, and if downtown's activity today is any indication - it should be a good crowd.

Also, I am unfortunately NOT playing tomorrow with Melissa at 5 on the main stage!
