Carnegie Hall continues its 2024 Ivy Terrace Concert Series Thursday, July 11, at 6:30 p.m. with Distant Light. Sponsored by City National Bank, the concert takes place outside on Carnegie Hall’s Ivy Terrace as attendees watch from the expansive lawn in front of New River Community and Technical College. Concertgoers are encouraged to bring a lawn chair or blanket and pack a picnic to enjoy live music. All Ivy Terrace concerts are free, open to the public, and alcohol free.
Distant Light has a sound that spans the genres of country, rock and blues, and at times may touch on a couple others. The sound is nostalgic, although completely original. People tell us that they recognize a particular song but can’t put a finger on where they might have heard it before. The majority of the songs are upbeat and popular with folks who like to dance. The rhythmic hooks and beats just make you want to move. We call it “original music with a familiar feel.”
Band members include Steve Baker (guitar, harmonica, vocals), Bryan Fox (bass, backup vocals), Tom Ruggerio (lead guitar, backup vocals), Stephanie Blume (piano, violin, backup vocals), Amy McIntire (pedal steel), Bob Baker (congas), and Ed Pfeiff (drums).
Kitchen 304 will be vending on location.
Concerts will move into the Hamilton Auditorium if the weather dictates. For more information, please visit www.carnegiehallwv.org or call 304-645-7917.
