Deep Mountain (October 4, 2024) What a treat to open Sunburst’s 26th annual winter concert series with this home-grown bluegrass plucking, singing and strumming group featuring six of the Tobacco Valley’s finest musicians!

Jazz Legacy Project (November 2, 2024) Why does Thelonious Monk play the piano like that? Why is John Coltrane's music so intense? Why is Billie Holiday's voice so unique? The Jazz Legacy Project has an ongoing residency at the Velvet Note Jazz Club in Atlanta, where they sell out performances. They’ve discovered that playing jazz and telling the stories behind the music is something audiences thoroughly enjoy. Come listen to this red-hot band from Atlanta, Georgia! https://www.jazzlegacyproject.com/
The Wardens (January 25, 2025) This Canadian Rocky Mountain-based band’s stories and songs rise from the land they protect as Canadian national park wardens. With three-part harmonies, the band’s mountain music, blending folk, roots and western styles, reflects Canada's protected wilderness areas. The Wardens played in the Tobacco Valley back in 2018. If you caught that, you know how good they are. https://thewardensmusic.com/
