The film will explore the origins of the term “Boonerang\,” the music & arts festival itself\, why people come back to the area\, the regional impacts of Hurricane Helene\, and the importance of the 2025 festival being the first one since the community faced the tragedy of a natural disaster. \nThrough the lens of local leaders\, musicians\, artists\, and festival organizers we learn what makes this creative community so tight knit\, and why people are drawn back to Boone and the surrounding areas. \nWe hope you will join us! Please spread the word! \nVisit Boonerang: Returning to the High Country to learn more.

Taxes are calculated upon checkout. \nFew bands have made as lasting an impact on bluegrass music as The Grascals. From the very beginning\, their blend of modern traditional bluegrass\, gospel\, and country influences\, matched with world-class musicianship and an unshakable love for the genre\, has earned them a spot among the most respected and enduring groups in acoustic music. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nFormed in 2004 in Nashville\, Tennessee\, The Grascals are a band built on friendship\, shared roots\, and a common vision to create bluegrass music that honors tradition while forging its own identity. Their breakout moment came fast—within months of forming\, they were hand-picked by Dolly Parton to serve as her opening act and backing band on tour. That early endorsement set the tone for the band’s trajectory: respected by legends\, loved by fans\, and celebrated by the industry. \nTheir debut album\, The Grascals announced their arrival with authority. It won IBMA’s Emerging Artist of the Year and Album of the Year and included a duet with Dolly Parton on “Viva Las Vegas” that showcased their versatility and crossover appeal. From there\, the accolades kept coming with two IBMA Entertainers of the Year awards\, three GRAMMY nominations\, a Dove Award nomination and a host of other awards and recognition.  Now with thirteen albums\, performances all over the world and for two United States Presidents\, The Grascals can truthfully say they have the best of both worlds — the steadiness of a veteran group that knows who they are and where they’re going\, and the excitement and energy of an ensemble that knows it still has something to prove. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe band’s collaborative spirit is another hallmark of their career. In addition to Dolly Parton\, The Grascals have recorded and toured with artists including Charlie Daniels\, Vince Gill\, Kenny Rogers\, Hank Williams Jr.\, George Jones\, The Oak Ridge Boys\, Patty Loveless\, Dierks Bentley\, Brooks & Dunn\, Brad Paisley\, Joe Nichols\, Steve Wariner\, The Jordanaires\, Tom T. Hall\, and more. Their respect for their musical heroes and peers has allowed them to build bridges between bluegrass and other genres\, expanding their reach without compromising their sound. \nThe Grascals are known for their ability to balance traditional drive with contemporary flair along with their authenticity\, humility\, and showmanship\, The Grascals are a fan favorite on the festival circuit and are regular performers on the Grand Ole Opry with over 200 guest appearances. Their live shows combine technical excellence with emotional storytelling and a dose of humor\, making every performance memorable. \nNow more than two decades into their career\, The Grascals remain at the top of their game—honoring the past\, embracing the present\, and helping shape the future of bluegrass music.  With a renewed spirit and zeal to continue to create and blaze new music trails\, be on the lookout for much more to come from The Grascals! Visit THE GRASCALS to learn more. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBorn and raised in the foothills of southwest Virginia\, Olivia Jo is an up-and-coming bluegrass artist and versatile singer-songwriter that got her start in music as a child\, cutting her teeth on traditional bluegrass\, country and acoustic music.

SUMMARY:“Southern Hospitality”
DESCRIPTION:A rental event presented by BeanStalk Community Theatre:\nSouthern Hospitality\nA Southern-Fried Hometown Comedy\n\n\n\n\n\nPURCHASE TICKETS TO SOUTHERN HOSPITALITY – 3/12/26\n\n\n\n\n\nThursday\, March 12\, 2026 at 7 p.m. / Doors open at 6:30 p.m.\n\n\n\n\n\n\nStandard Orchestra – $22  Seniors/Students/Children (18 & under) – $19\nSeating Advisement: No balcony seating for this performance \nAll Ages\nAll Seating is Reserved\nThis venue uses All-In Pricing. The total price listed includes ticket fees. Taxes are calculated upon checkout. \nSouthern Hospitality –  In this rapid-fire\, hilarious romp\, the Futrelle Sisters-Frankie\, Twink\, Honey Raye and Rhonda Lynn-are in trouble again. This time\, their beloved hometown\, Fayro\, Texas\, is in danger of disappearing and it’s up to the sisters to save it from extinction. But their plans to do so quickly go haywire. \nHoney Raye\, with a major assist from her former nemesis\, Geneva Musgrave\, comes up with a solution to bring back businesses and residents. It seems a salsa manufacturing factory is looking to relocate and a company representative is headed to Fayro on a scouting mission. Honey Raye makes promises that are not to be believed in order to woo the rep to choose Fayro. In fact\, Honey Raye has told them that on the very weekend of the rep’s visit just four days away\, the town happens to be having their biggest celebration of the year: “Fayro Days\,” which includes a craft show\, a pet costume parade\, a beauty pageant and a huge battle reenactment. Problem? That’s news to the citizens of Fayro who have to quickly band together to make her promises a reality. \nAdded to this is the dilemma of Twink being so desperate to get married that she’s dragging the unwilling groom\, Deputy John Curtis Buntner\, to the altar. Frankie\, however\, seems to have it worst of all\, what with her husband\, Dub\, going through a major mid-life crisis at the same time her five-year-old twins are literally tearing up the town. And unfortunately for all of them\, the “meanest woman in twelve counties\,” Dub’s wicked\, old Aunt Iney\, is on her way for a visit. Iney’s arrival in Fayro is definitely cause for alarm for the sisters; but it’s nothing compared to Rhonda Lynn’s panic when she causes the old girl to drop dead in the Dubberly home just before the salsa rep shows up. But how the Futrelle sisters and the other citizens of Fayro\, including sweet\, simple\, Raynerd Chisum\, pull together and save their town is a testament to Southern strength and ingenuity-and a recipe for total hilarity. \nFor more information and events please visit https://www.facebook.com/bsctboone/ \nProduction Note:\nThis event is a rental engagement presented by BeanStalk Community Theatre.

SUMMARY:Rakish
DESCRIPTION:Sponsored by Deal Moseley di Santi Garrett & Martin\, LLP\nRakish\n\n\n\n\n\nPURCHASE TICKETS FOR RAKISH\n\n\n\n\n\nSunday\, March 15\, 2026 at 7:00 p.m. / Doors open at 6:30 p.m.\nSTANDARD- $15\nSTUDENT – $9 \nAll Seating is Reserved. All Ages (children under 17 admitted with parent/legal guardian)\nThis venue uses All-In Pricing. The total price listed includes ticket fees. Taxes are calculated upon checkout. \nRooted in tradition with an ear toward the future\, contemporary folk duo Rakish embody earnest musical exploration and an infectious playfulness on their new album Now\, O Now. Fiddler Maura Shawn Scanlin\, acclaimed for her expressive playing\, was raised in North Carolina’s Appalachian Mountains. Her songwriting and clawhammer banjo technique hint at regional old-time ballads. Further north\, guitarist Conor Hearn grew up steeped in the venerated Washington\, D.C. Irish music scene and developed a keen interest in literature and poetry. His setting of James Joyce’s poetry on the title track as well as “Lightly Come or Lightly Go” epitomizes the duo’s approach: the dexterous alchemy of the old and the new into something wholly Rakish. \nThe pair’s deep musical connection and unbridled love for pushing traditional sounds forward is striking. Just listen to the fiddling on “765” featuring trancey electronic dance production by Jamie Oshima or the epic tune “The Morning Glory” which is set atop an evocative\, melancholic drone. It’s clear Rakish refuses to be pigeonholed into one genre and are most comfortable occupying the inbetween. On Now\, O Now they journey through Celtic and Americana styles\, deftly showcasing how to bring forth something new from the deep well of tradition. \nVisit RAKISH to learn more.
