Experience the heritage of American music that was born in the crossroads of Virginia’s piedmont.

Holliday Lake State Park in Appomattox, Virginia is proud to host Dixie Road Bluegrass Band on August 26 as part of our Routes of Rhythm Music Trail in partnership with Benchmark Community Bank.

Enjoy an evening of live music and hear the Dixie Road Bluegrass Band

Routes of Rhythm Music Trail is a Virginia State Parks collaborative effort between the state parks of the central and southern regions of Virginia to provide quality music events, educational programming and authentic experiences that tell the story of the creation and proliferation of American music.

Come early and enjoy a day in the park prior to the concert.

The performance is Saturday, August 26, 2017 from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. at Shelter 2 near the beach. The event will be held weather permitting. Limited picnic table seating will be available, so concert-goers are encouraged to bring their own chairs. Snack bar hours will stay open until 7:30 with a limited menu. The music is free, but the daily parking fee of $4 per vehicle will apply.

Benchmark Community Bank is proud to sponsor the inaugural season for Routes of Rhythm. A product of the same Southside Virginia region that gave birth to some of music’s most unique artists and sounds, Benchmark’s unique approach to banking has distinguished itself in the region it serves and beyond.
