The Damascus Opry

The Birthplace Of Country Music region has more than its fair share of excellent home-grown singers and musicians, and now they have yet another great event at which to perform and showcase their musical talents. The Damascus Music Heritage Association is now sponsoring the bi-weekly Damascus Opry at the historic Rock School in Damascus, Virginia. The Damascus Opry features local and area performers pickin' and singin' on one of the oldest and most-loved stages in the area. Due to its amazing scenery, world-class trails and friendly people, the town of Damascus has long been a favorite destination for hikers, bikers and those who love the outdoors, and now with the Opry Damascus' visitors have yet another exciting activity to enjoy! During last night's inaugural concert, the Damascus Opry featured two very good local Bluegrass bands, Gettin' Better and Free Grass. Both groups delighted the audience by pickin' and singin' a number of great tunes, and plenty of applause was heard all throughout the show. Gettin' Better took the stage first... Gettin' Better Bluegrass Band With Free Grass hot on their heels. It was hard to tell who enjoyed the show the most: the performers or the audience! I guess it doesn't really matter because there were plenty of smiles to go around! Free Grass If you enjoy listening to great live music, you owe it to yourself to check out the Damascus Opry for yourself. The next show will be on March 23 at 7pm. We look forward to seeing you next time at the beautiful Rock School in Damascus, Virginia!   "Picture of the Day" archives             Submit a photo of your own!            Why I publish the "Picture of the Day"
