9/02/21 - 9/02/21 - Shenandoah, featuring Marty Raybon - 7:30pm - 9:30pm


Miracle Farms Market presents: Shenandoah featuring Marty Raybon! Coming to Hempstead Hall on September 2, 2021 at 7:30pm. 


When country music lovers talk about the greatest groups in the genre, Shenandoah is always at the forefront of any discussion. Fueled by Marty Raybon’s distinctive vocals and the band’s skilled musicianship, Shenandoah became well known for delivering such hits as “Two Dozen Roses”, “Church on Cumberland Road” and “Next to You, Next to Me” as well as such achingly beautiful classics as “I Want to be Loved Like That” and the Grammy winning “Somewhere in the Vicinity of the Heart” duet with Alison Krauss. Today that legacy continues as original members Raybon and Mike McGuire reunite to launch a new chapter in Shenandoah’s storied career.

We are excited to announce a special showing of THE WILDERNESS ROAD in Hope, Arkansas to honor our dear friend and collaborator Daulton Brewer. Proceeds from this showing will be donated to Daulton's family to help with funeral and medical expenses: https://www.gofundme.com/f/pwzzan-brewers


This showing will be held on Sept. 25th at 7pm at Hempstead Hall. Tickets are $10 tickets in advance and $15 at the door. A link to buy your tickets will be coming soon. Masks will be required.


Daulton, who plays Big Harpe in the movie, sadly passed away recently. He was wonderful to know and work with. We hope this screen honors his talent and hard work. 
The Wilderness Road tells the story of the most notorious land pirates who stalked the Southeast during the turn of the 19th century. Samuel Mason (Creek Wilson), a Revolutionary War hero, turns to a life of crime and forms a dangerous gang of bandits. Big Harpe (Daulton Brewer) and Little Harpe (Travis Mills), considered by some to be America's first serial killers, wreak havoc through the region as they kill without mercy. Soon, these three outlaws will meet along the wilderness road.
DVDS of the film will not be available at this showing. They will be available at a later date.
