Description:
The Newport Jamboree 2014 season concludes with bands The Ridgeliners and Marv Ashby & High Octane on Saturday, August 30th at the Newport Recreation Center.

The old time group The Ridgeliners will open the evening's music. The Ridgeliners are regulars at The Floyd Country Store, among other venues. Experts at old time fiddling, singing and carrying on, the Ridgeliners are a veritable old time super group, drawing members from the Poorhouse Pepsteppers, the Celtibillies, the Hoyt Street Hot Shots and the Black Twig Pickers

Marv Ashby and High Octane features Marv’s aggressive flatpicking style and straight-ahead vocal arrangements. 'Beardie’ powers the low end with percussive doghouse bass and brings to the show unique ‘Beardie Tunes’ featuring traditional bluegrass vocal styling. Robbie Benzing rolls through the tunes with spot-on First Generation bluegrass drive and enthusiasm.

From the West Virginia Panhandle comes that hard-driving ‘no holds barred’ bluegrass music courtesy of Marv Ashby and the High Octane band. Marv is joined by some the region’s finest entertainers delivering a quality and fast moving show. Both traditional and contemporary bluegrass genres are showcased during High Octane performances.

The local Ruritan chapter will be selling concessions including hot dogs, popcorn and drinks along with hot cocoa and coffee and be sure to bring a lawn chair or blanket.

We will ask for a $5.00 donation from each adult to cover the bands and park fee. Kids under 12 get in free.

Rain or shine! Invite your friends and neighbors!

The Village of Newport Ruritan Park is conveniently located 1.4 miles down route 42--keep your eyes peeled for the signs off of 460 West.
