It’s new music Friday! Please join us in welcoming Orchard newcomers Kevin Dolan and Paul Koptak to the pavilion stage!
Kevin Dolan is a singer-songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, and producer/owner of Shake Rag Recording Studio in Mars Hill, NC. His recording of original songs, Burning Bridges, features Paul Koptak of Waynesville, NC on dobro and lap steel guitar. Up here at the Orchard, Kevin and Paul will perform originals from the CD along with covers of Tom Petty, Eagles, Chris Stapleton, Avett Brothers, and Jason Isbell.
The Orchard Music Program offers live, traditional music in support of our nonprofit mission to preserve the history, heritage and culture of the Blue Ridge Mountains. Our hope is to educate the public about the Appalachian experience so that these important traditions may be carried forward with future generations.
