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.

Darren Beachley Returns to Brunswick for Benefit

29 March 2010:

They're back for another round of great music. Jill Hossler of the Brunswick, Maryland Junior Baseball League announced this past weekend that Darren Beachley and the Legends of the Potomac and Kenny Ray Horton will return for a benefit performance on Saturday, July 10th, 2010. The performance will be at the Brunswick High School Auditorium, same as last year. You must contact Jill Hossler for tickets and an early request for tickets is recommended. This benefit drew hundreds to the big auditorium last year, and word will travel fast. This was one of the best bluegrass performances we attended in 2009 and made even more enjoyable by making a day-trip out of it and seeing the sights around Brunswick. The town has a unique train museum and railroad history, and several nice restaurants and antique shops. Situated on the Potomac not far from Point of Rocks, it's a beautiful little town "where nothing much happens" but once was one of the main rail hubs in the Appalachians. So it's the perfect location for this kind of bluegrass event. Notable is the fact that it's also the place Darren Beachley grew up, played baseball, and perfected his music. You don't want to miss this one.
