Carnegie Hall presents its last Second Stage Series Concert with B-BAMS on Thursday, May 1, at 7 p.m. in the Old Stone Room. Guests are invited to come early for the Second Stage Lounge from 6 to 6:45 p.m. A cash bar and snacks will be available.
Together for over 20 years, B-BAMS is a fun-loving musical quintet featuring talent from Alabama, Kentucky, New York, and West Virginia. How did these folks manage to become a group? Bob and Mary met in West Virginia in 2000 through a community choir and through a church choir. Bob (guitar) and Mary (piano) met Alex (cello) in 2002 when he was attending the WV School of Osteopathic Medicine. They become good friends and musical companions (Alex also joined the church choir). In 2004 Alex married Sarah (violin) and they became BAMS. In 2007, Bryan (vocals) moved to WV, and they discovered “the voice from Alabama heaven,” completing the B-BAMS group.
Their lives have taken them in many directions, but they always find time throughout the year to enjoy each other’s company and musical talents. For their show at Carnegie Hall, listeners are invited to sit back and enjoy some of their favorite tunes by artists John Prine, James Taylor, Van Morrison, The Beatles, Travis Tritt, Casting Crowns, Garth Brooks, and Jackson Browne (to name a few).
The Second Stage Series consists of five special events that take place in the Old Stone Room located on the ground floor of the Hall. The intimate setting creates a “speak easy” vibe with an eclectic line-up of entertainment. Seating is general admission. Concerts are moved to the Hamilton Auditorium if demand is high.
Tickets are $20 for adults and $10 for students. Thanks to the Carnegie Cardinal Fund, Greenbrier County Students attend for free, but still must reserve a seat.
