Led by vocalist Melody Walker, Front Country is a band on the precipice of a metamorphosis. As multi-instrumentalists, songwriters, and composers, the group’s musical vision comes through no matter what stage they take. From their beginnings in the San Francisco Bay Area to their new hometown of Nashville, Walker, Adam Roszkiewicz, and Jacob Groopman have been on a journey to discover their sound. With a genre dubbed “Rugged Americana and Purposeful Pop,” they push the envelope without losing sight of their acoustic roots music influences.

Galax native Dori Freeman grew up in a musical family. Her father, Scott Freeman, and grandfather, Willard Gayheart, are both regular performers during Midday Mountain Music at the Music Center. Produced by Teddy Thompson, Freeman released her eponymous album on the Free Dirt Records label in 2016. Following that release, Rolling Stone included her on the magazine’s list of “10 New Country Artists You Need to Know.” Freeman recently released her third album, Every Single Star, also produced by Thompson.

Tickets are $15, children 12 and younger admitted free. Season passes are also available.
