One ticketed concert remaining in 2010 season There is only one more ticketed concert in the 2010 Summer Concert Series at the Blue Ridge Music Center. On Saturday, Sept. 4, ticketed events will wrap up  with Dale Jett and Hello Stranger joined by the Sheets Family. “Family music” is the theme of this program.  A third-generation member of the legendary Carter Family, Dale Jett,  son of Janette Carter and the grandson of A.P. and Sara Carter, performs with his wife, Teresa, and Oscar Harris. Hear them at a recent festival here. The Sheets family from Vilas, NC, harmonizes on old-time songs in the way that only a family can. Listen to Debra Jean and her daughter, Kelly, here.  Tickets for the show are $10. On the following weekend, Sept. 10-12, the Blue Ridge Music Center will host the Blue Ridge Parkway’s 75th Anniversary Celebration with three days of free activities. Keep watching this space for more details or look up the Parkway's posting of events for the Blue Ridge Music Center and Galax area here.
Fall Heritage Series takes music indoors The Fall Heritage Series, which takes place in October, will take traditional music indoors for three Sunday afternoons. The series will be held in the small auditorium, which provides limited seating and a cozier environment than the outdoor amphitheatre. During the concert season it is used for special discussion programs before several of the concerts. Featured in the fall series will be the Pilot Mountain Bobcats on Oct. 10, the Slate Mountain Ramblers on Oct. 17 and Rich Kirby on Oct. 24. The Fall Heritage Series is free and held at 2 p.m. on those dates.
