Benefit Dinner & Nothin' Fancy Concert


Nothin' Fancy

Back by popular demand, Rockbridge Area Habitat and Theater at Lime Kiln will host a benefit dinner and concert featuring the acclaimed bluegrass band Nothin’ Fancy, on Saturday, June 4, 2011 at Lime Kiln. The 2010 dinner and concert were an unparalleled success, with great music and terrific food. The 2011 event, again sponsored by The Main Street Group, promises more of the same.

The festivities will begin at 5:30 p.m. at Lime Kiln with a gourmet dinner, catered by The Southern Inn. Diners will enjoy conversation with the band members during dinner. The dinner ticket includes a reserved seat ticket to the concert.

Nothin’ Fancy is enjoyed by young and old alike, due to its “unique sound that vacillates between smooth, progressive bluegrass and country-tinged Americana (Cary Virgin, Bluegrass Now).” Whether you’re a dyed-in-the-wool bluegrass fan or are experiencing the genre for the first time, you’ll be impressed by the band’s repertoire, ranging from gospel classics to pop music covers. Nothin’ Fancy’s energetic stage presence makes for an entertaining evening, whatever your musical predilection.
