Did Someone Ask for Variety?

Wed, 28 Jul 2010

Looking at this weekend's schedule, there's no doubt that we try to accommodate all forms of musical entertainment! This Friday, join us for the much anticipated return of North of Mason Dixon (NOMaD). This group rocked the bandstand last year with their new country stylings and are sure to bring their excitement back with them again! North Of Mason Dixon, aka NOMaD, made a tremendous splash on the regional country scene in late 2004 after placing third in a highly publicized, country showdown competition; Since then, this steadily climbing, beyond high energy act has garnered a great deal of success and shows no signs of slowing down. Opening for national acts like Brooks and Dunn, Toby Keith, and Rascal Flatts (to name a few), being solicited by several tourists destinations such as Ocean City, MD and the Poconos, having performed as a featured artist at some of the areas biggest events and venues (Dollar Bank Jamboree, Post Gazette Pavilion, and the Pepsi-Cola Roadhouse), and performing for such organizations as the Pittsburgh Steelers and the Pittsburgh Penguins, this Pittsburgh based band delivers a refreshing and unique sound they call "Hard Rockin' Modern Country" that defies any other description. Saturday, concert bands return to the bandstand with the City of Fairfax Band. Since its formation in 1969, the City of Fairfax Band has grown from a small, summer-season ensemble to one of Northern Virginia's best-known volunteer community performing groups. The City Band is a non-profit organization of over 120 members who enjoy providing high-quality musical performances to the Northern Virginia community. Fairfax Band musicians, all with a strong commitment to the organization and a shared love of music, want to promote musical growth and education among students and residents alike. The City of Fairfax Band is unique in maintaining high musical standards while remaining open for membership to qualified players. Musicians of the Band continue to apply their talents and musical energy toward the goal of performance excellence both individually and as a team for their community. In serving that goal, we are rewarded by great enjoyment in making music that brings pleasure and enrichment to expanding audiences in a growing community. Sunday, bring your parrots along for the ride as we celebrate the carribean stylings of the Key West Band! Key West is the band to have for a high-energy night of Caribbean influenced music. Voted the number one party band by the Roanoke Times and Best Local Band of 1997, 2000, 2001, 2002, 2003, 2004 & 2005 by the Roanoker Magazine, Key West has opened for many national acts including The Tams, The Drifters, The Coasters, The Kingsmen, Jan and Dean, The Box Tops and Cravin’ Melon. With a large supply of Jimmy Buffett songs as well as Reggae’, Creole, Latin and original songs this band can turn the darkest of winter nights into an island party. Their music crosses so many boundaries they have become a staple in the corporate, festival and college markets. The typical Key West audience is a multi-generational, energetic, loyal group of followers known as Island Trash.
