Latest Update on the Brunswick Roundhouse Concert Series

Jill Hossler, from Brunswick sent me the latest update on the newly-formed Brunswick Roundhouse Concert Series that I had talked about in an earlier entry. Darren Beachley and the Legends of the Potomac kick off this concert series on Sunday, 21 November, 2010 at 3:00 pm. Tickets are now up for purchase by contacting Jill's organization. I'll leave all the pertinent information at the end of this posting. I've sent for my own tickets because I know the demand will be high once Halloween is on our doorstep. Yep, we're getting into the Fall Season already. I see a remark I made in my daily diary on September 28, 2009: "Saw my first Thanksgiving Dinner advertisement on Channel 7 tonight." There is no let-up on American commercialism brow-beating us into pounding down more food than we need.
This is exciting news for Brunswick, Maryland and especially good news for Brunswick High School ("Home of the Railroaders"). Evolving out of Darren's past two benefit concerts for the Brunswick Junior Baseball League, Jill Hossler (and the whole Hossler Family), Darren Beachley, and the various Booster groups of the school and community have banded together to raise funds for the extra programs at Brunswick High School. It's a win/win for the school and bluegrass fans. Expect that Darren will elicit the help of friends in the business and bring in the best in quality music and performers. He's done it in the past two events and he'll continue with the premier event and those planned into 2011. For starters how about this: Darren Beachley and the Legends of the Potomac and the Dry Branch Fire Squad. If you missed the first two benefits I have only pity in my heart for you. Here's your opportunity to atone for your sins and at the same time support a magnificent cause up in Brunswick, Maryland.
On the nuts-and-bolts administration side of this Jill and Darren have created a foundation, a new website, and everything is easily reached by keeping up with Facebook. It's obvious everyone involved is in it for the Long Haul. Now it's time for the huge bluegrass community here in Virginia and Maryland to come forth and support what Darren has taken on as a cause. Jill Hossler added that each event will support a different in-school Booster group, and have been timed specifically to not interfere with some of the other popular bluegrass venues and bluegrass events that go on in our area. In essence, we the fans will have the opportunity to enjoy a richer and broader bluegrass offering here in Northern Virginia and Western Maryland.
