Local rock and reggae group Steel Pterodactyl will take the terrace for Carnegie Hall’s upcoming Ivy Terrace Concert on Thursday, Aug. 26, at 7 p.m. The concert will take place outside on Carnegie Hall’s Ivy Terrace as attendees watch from the expansive lawn in front of New River Community and Technical College. Concert goers 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.
Formed in 1992, Steel Pterodactyl has performed at venues and festivals across West Virginia, Virginia, and Maryland with such groups as JGB, Ekoostic Hooka, Rasta Rafiki, The Recipe, and many more. In 2020, the band added a horn section, and now includes members Chris Baker (guitar/vocals), Casey Cantrell (drums), Chris Clemons (bass), Jeff Eisenbeiss (acoustic guitar/percussion/vocals), Rick Leatherman (Sax), Philip McLaughlin (guitar/keyboard/vocals), Steve Metzler (trombone), and Brennan Wood (trumpet).
The remaining Ivy Terrace schedule is Seldom Free (original groove/rock) on Sept. 9, Jack Grace Band (original alt-country) on Sept. 23, and Chance McCoy (indie folk) on Oct. 7.
So mark your calendars and get excited about this summer in Lewisburg. The 2021 Carnegie Hall Ivy Terrace Concert Series is a “must do” for visitors and locals alike and is sponsored by City National Bank. For more information, please visit www.carnegiehallwv.org or call 304-645-7917.
