Saturday Evening Concert: Bill and the Belles & Dori Freeman
Event
Just across the Virginia line along the Blue Ridge Parkway, Blue Ridge Music Center welcomes visitors for its outdoor summer concert series. Enjoy the cool air and mountain backdrop as music fills the night.
With a spirited sound that falls somewhere between old-time country and vaudeville, Bill and the Belles puts its own spin on a golden era of music, specifically the 1920s, 1930s and 1940s.
Hometown musician Dori Freeman grew up in a musical family in Galax. She has received praise for her musical prowess from Rolling Stone and The New York Times, among others.
Tickets are $15 for adults; children 12 and younger admitted free. No advance tickets sold. Lawn chairs welcome. In light of the COVID-19 pandemic, concertgoers are encouraged to maintain six feet of distance between groups and wear a mask in high-traffic areas. Hand-sanitizing stations are located near the admission gate.
