LEWISBURG W.Va. (WVDN) – On Saturday, Oct. 12, from 12 – 4 p.m., Carnegie Hall’s Taste of Our Towns (T.O.O.T.) will take over downtown Lewisburg for the 38th year as thousands of visitors attend one of West Virginia’s largest festivals. But this year the festivities will continue with an outdoor concert featuring The Davisson Brothers Band.
The Davisson Brothers will take the stage on Church Street at 6 p.m., preceded by a local opener beginning at 5 p.m. Food trucks will be set up until 8 p.m. All proceeds will benefit Carnegie Hall’s art education and performance programming. All ages are welcome.
Admission is $10, and ticket presales begin Sept. 13. Wristbands will be available for purchase or pick up from the Carnegie Hall information booth beginning at noon at T.O.O.T.
The Davisson Brothers Band is a genre-blurring mountain rock band formed in Clarksburg, by Chris and Donnie Davisson. Along with nephew Gerrod Bee and lifelong family friend Aaron Regester, the band has created a uniquely authentic Appalachian country sound which has helped them grow into one of the most successful independent acts in the world.
Since their founding in 2006, the band has recorded three albums, been celebrated as a Highway Find on Sirius XM, charted on country radio with “Foot Stompin’” and scored a hit song in Australia with “Po’ Boyz,” while also earning a dedicated following in the Jam Band/Bluegrass scene and standing shoulder to shoulder with mainstream country stars at festivals like CMC Rocks (Australia) and the Carolina Country Fest.
The new album, “Home Is Where the Heart Is,” was produced by Brent Cobb and David “Ferg” Ferguson and features Tim O’Brien, Rob McCoury, Stewart Duncan, Leftover Salmon’s Vince Herman, Ronnie Bowman, Kyle Tuttle, Lindsay Lou and more.
