by Bill Powell –
I am happy to announce for 2022 the appearance of the five-piece bluegrass band Rappahannock Crossing at the Groovin’ in the Park set for 6-8 p.m. Saturday, Sept 24. Gates open at 4 p.m. I am working on a special musical treat for the opener at 5 p.m.
In 2011 five seasoned musicians from Virginia’s Middle Peninsula and Northern Neck got together to play bluegrass and have a good time. They made good music too, so Rappahannock Crossing came to be! Rappahannock Crossing’s music is a mix of traditional, contemporary, original and Gospel bluegrass music. The five members of the band specialize in close vocal harmonies and driving instrumentation. All five members contribute both instrumentally and vocally.
Members of the band include Curtis Brizendine on banjo, Bill Richardson on stand-up bass, Randy Crittenden on dobro, Will Snow on mandolin and Mike Nicely on guitar. All the band contribute to vocals and harmonies.
Groovin’ in the Park 2022 is Deltaville Maritime Museum’s casual, “bring your own lawn chair and picnic,” outdoor music series. This is the last concert of the Groovin’ 2022 season.
Tickets for Groovin’ are $10 in advance and $15 at the door. Get yours at the museum office, on the museum’s website or at Nauti Nell’s store in Deltaville.
