Description:
The Newport Jamboree wraps up their 2013 season with bands The Poorhouse Pepsteppers and American Roots on Saturday, September 28th at the Newport Recreation Center.

The Poorhouse Pepsteppers from Vinton, VA are a musical trio inspired by the singing and dance tunes of Appalachia. While primarily a fiddle, banjo, guitar trio we also play other instruments in various combinations and feature both individual and harmony vocals. This music combined with stories, jokes and light hearted stage antics makes the Poorhouse Pepsteppers a unique performance which you don’t want to miss.

American Roots are a local guitar and harmony-vocal duo from Blacksburg who have been performing in the area in one form or another for about 20 years. Fred and Jon Benfield took the name American Roots because it describes the music they enjoy performing.

The two have spent most of their lives in and around the southern Appalachians and have developed an affection for the broad scope of music appreciated by folks in the region. Their performance may include traditional ballads, country blues, early country, tin-pan alley toe tappers, swing tunes, hot fiddle tunes (on guitar), and “folkgrass”.

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.

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.
