The Labor Day Music Fest will be back for year 2 on the Town Green at Russell Crossroads. Our Labor Day Music Fest brings two nights for you to enjoy some really great music!  And for the second year, this event, is FREE! Grab the fam, friends, your comfy stuff, the leash for and the pup – then join in the fun with great music from some rising artists! Of course we’ll throw out the corn hole, giant jinga, and hula hoops. There will be food trucks on hand!

On Friday, September 1, we are excited that The Bank Walkers and Funky Lampshades will start the Labor Day Music Fest.

The Bank Walkers, Lake Martin’s Favorite cover band will kick things off at 6:30 with some new tunes on their set list – so make sure you claim your seat early!

Here is a snippet of some Bank Walking music!

Then at 7:45 from the Gulf Coast of Alabama, Funky Lampshades will take over. This group has made a stop or two in the Lake Martin area over the years and we are excited that they are coming to Russell Crossroads.And for a taste of some Funky Lampshades clicking here will take to a YouTube video!!

As we move to Saturday, it’s exciting to have a couple of regional bands that are really taking off. Up first, from Tennessee, Connor Kelly and the Time Warp will take the stage at 6:30. Fronted by Connor Kelly this band mixes indie rock with a little bit of soul and jazz – then drop in some rich synth tones and a moogish vibe and distort it ever so slightly and you have Connor Kelly and the Time Warp. Traveling from coast to coast, Connor and the Time Warp have made a name for themselves on the west coast and are bringing their unique sound closer to home! Take a listed to some Connor Kelly by clicking here for the Distant Forest video. This band is primed for stardom!!

And closing out the weekend with a little east coast vibe is Virginia Man. Virginia Man is an emotional folk-and-roll band comprised of Kristian Lietzan (singer/songwriter), Stephen Amoruso (bass/vocals), and Jamaal Farrow (drummer).  With poetic lyrics and reviving the sounds of middle Appalachia, these guys champion the sound of Virginia! With lots of new music arriving this year, the boys have been out on the road!  The live show has become a favorite of the band and audiences alike, like a sonic rollercoaster, akin to the plot of a great American classic, with gripping performances and storytelling, and celebratory beverages to follow. Want to hear – then click here!

2023 Labor Day Music Fest will be the best ever. Bring the kids and grandkids! We should have a couple of food trucks, but remember you can always drop in the Fanny Gold Mine Diner or Catherine’s Market for food and drinks too!!

See you Labor Day weekend on the Town Green at Russell Crossroads!!
