Description:
The Town of Pulaski and the Fine Arts Center for the New River Valley continue the Jackson Park Concert Series on Friday, July 12th featuring the hard-driving bluegrass music of The Java Brothers.

The Java Brothers Bluegrass Band is from Radford, Virginia. We are progressive, but pretty much only to the extent that we'll play new songs as hard driving bluegrass. We love Bill Monroe, the Stanley Brothers, The Seldom Scene, JD Crowe, Tony Rice, Sam Bush, the Country Gentlemen, the Beatles, the Stones, and all the greats. The Java Brothers have a fun live show that mixes standard Bluegrass and Newgrass with fiery original tunes.

In addition to bluegrass, the Java Brothers will bring something special to the Jackson Park Concert Series. The band will adopt its alter-egos, "The Dr Pepper All-Stars," for a set of 1940s-style country music that would have been popular on local radio in Southwest Virginia. The radio set is patterned after the music Berrier's grandfather played on WDBJ radio before World War II with the band Roy Hall and His Blue Ridge Entertainers.

The concert will be from 6:30–8:30 pm with the park opening at 5:00 pm.

There will be food concessions and adult beverages available. Bring your blankets and chairs and enjoy an evening of great music in the park.

The Concerts are free; however donations are encouraged to support quality entertainment.

In case of rain the concert will be moved to the Pulaski Theatre located at 14 West Main Street in downtown Pulaski, Virginia.

The Jackson Park Concerts are sponsored by the Town of Pulaski, Fine Arts Center/NRV, Martin’s Pharmacy, Greater Pulaski Alliance and Budweiser and Virginia Eagle Distributing.
