Live Acoustical for Lake Country Wine Festival
Wine Festival musical favorites, Brian Parks and Jeff Bailey will be performing live acoustical music at the Ninth Annual “Lake Country Wine Festival” on April 11, from noon-5 pm in Downtown Clarksville. Parks and Bailey have roots to Lake Country, as they both grew up in Chase City; they have been playing music together for more than 12 years. Their music genre goes from Van Morrison to Bob Segar to the Allman Brothers—the best of rock, blues, and pop. Both are accomplished musicians with their vocals and both play guitar; Brian also plays harmonica and saxophone. Not only will they entertain those at the Wine Festival with their music, they will also entertain with their jokes and fun-loving conversations—these fellows really like to have a good time. They perform monthly in Raleigh and Cary, as well as performing locally in Clarksville and South Boston, and South Hill.
