Devil in the Outhouse

July 15 @ 6:30 pm – 8:30 pm

$17.00 Adults, $15 Senior/Student/Military, $8 Youth

Is it country blues, folk rock, or neo-traditional acoustic Americana?   It’s hard to say – and anyway it wouldn’t be true.  Certainly you will hear echoes of everything from blues to country, both traditional and homemade, but do we really have to put a label on it?   Let’s just say it’s good honest American music played by good honest American men – and you just might just like it.

Please note that there is a $5 per vehicle park use fee.  It’s free if you have a state park sticker.
