Darrell Scott to Play Roanoke May 22

 Saturday, May 16, 2009 at 6:19am

Venerable singer/songwriter Darrell Scott is set to perform at Kirk Avenue Music Hall in Roanoke on Friday, May 22, at 8 p.m. Corey Hunley will open the show.

It takes more than guts and good intentions to record a convincing all-covers CD of songs by the modern-day pantheon of great singer-songwriters, from Bob Dylan to Mickey Newbury to Joni Mitchell. You have to add something special and personal to reignite oft-heard standards—musical talent, sure, but also a depth of feeling, experience and understanding. And Darrell Scott, an award-winning songwriter of depth and perception and a versatile instrumentalist, has earned that right.

Opening the night will be local performer Corey Hunley. Born in the mountains of Franklin County, Hunley is a singer/songwriter who mimics his style after the likes of Steve Earle, John Prine, Matt Powell    , and Paul Thorn to name a few. You can find him strumming on his acoustic in most of the local venues. You can hear a mixture of original and cover tunes from Hunley.

Doors open at 7 p.m. and tickets for the show are $30, available at Fret Mill Music in Roanoke, Rocket Music in Blacksburg, Harvest Moon in Floyd, and online. A portion of the proceeds will be contributed to benefit the Music Lab at Jefferson Center.

Please call               540.745.6643         540.745.6643 for more information.
