Tuesday, July 3rd - SPLIT LIP RAYFIELD with special guests Billy Strings and Opal Agafia

From the blood-red heart of Kansas, Split Lip Rayfield is going stronger than ever. It's completely fair to call these guys legends. It's been more than two decades since they first mashed up their aggressive stew of acoustic bluegrass instrumentation, tight country vocals, fierce metal shred and in-your-face punk sensibilities.

Gates open at 6 PM. This is an all ages and FREE event.
