Cool rock & roll favorites from the 60s & 70’s dished out by the Bank Street Band. Cool free popsicles too! On the lawn in front of Emmanuel Church’s Parish House, with the band on the porch.
As part of the “At The Parish House” performing arts series, the band will play your favorite classic rock & roll plus the best of crossover country, doo-wop, and more. Famous for its 3-part, 4-part and sometimes even 5-part vocal harmonies, Bank Street does justice to the songs of the Mamas and Papas, the Beach Boys, CSN&Y, Billy Joel and many others.
Fun continues inside if the weather is dodgy. Reservations not required but encouraged--call 540-687-6297. $10 suggested donation, but no one is turned away. Dancing in poodle skirts and blue suede shoes encouraged.
All Hallow’s Eve is creeping up on us. Give your costume a test run at the Fifth Annual “Halloween Songs & Stories” special in Middleburg.

For decades a talented band of Celtic musicians has played to sold-out audiences in Virginia with brilliant renditions of Irish and Scottish songs and tunes.
The band will sing and play many Christmas specials such as “I Saw Three Ships” and “Pat-a Pan,” and a variety of year-round Celtic favorites. Instruments accompanying their energetic voices will be the accordion, Irish flute and whistle, Uilleann pipes, bodhran, guitar, violin and viola.
Reservations are recommended, but not required. A suggested donation of $20, but no one is turned away from this immensely popular Middleburg Christmas concert!
