The Dagga Boys return to our slice of Free Union paradise to kick off the weekend with their awesome “lively old-timey” sounds! Friday, January 17th, from 6 to 8:30pm. No cover. Open to all.
The Dagga Boys bring together two of Central Viriginia’s most popular singer/songwriters and guitar pickers – Ken Farmer (of Antiques Road Show fame) and Jon Spear. Their sound neatly blends Ken’s background as an extraordinary blues & bluegrass picker and Jon’s penchant for old school rock and folk music, a combination that will delight and entertain you.
The term Dagga Boy describes the old and sometimes solitary Cape Buffalo which, despite its age, should never to be underestimated and can take down a full-grown lion.
