The 2014 Friday Night Out Concert Series concludes with Irish folk musician Gerry Timlin on Friday, July 25, 2014 on the Henderson Lawn in downtown Blacksburg, VA. A great favorite in the USA and Canada, this Pennsylvania based singer has enjoyed success all over the world. Gerry Timlin was born in County Tyrone, Northern Ireland, where he developed an early interest in traditional Irish music and in folk music. From the beginning, Gerry displayed a musical talent. He moved to the USA in the early seventies, and has been delighting audiences with his smooth baritone voice and his irreverent humor ever since.

The rain site for all Friday Night Out concerts is in the Old Dominion Ballroom, located on the first floor of the Squires Student Center at Virginia Tech.
