The show is outdoors(will be moved indoors in case of rain) and is free to the public, it should begin at 7:30 and will go until 9 pm. Bring your lawn chairs and the kids and enjoy the sweet bluegrass sound of Yonder Hill. For those needing more music, T.J. will then rush off to Shaika Cafe to do a set with Virginia’s Folly.
