On Saturday night, don't miss our Pre-Show act, Katie & The Holler Dogs. Hailing from the old coal camp hollers of St. Charles, Virginia, Katie and The Holler Dogs consists of fearless leader Katie Bledsoe on lead vocals and guitar, her young and talented sister Cassie Bledsoe on mandolin and vocals, and Earnest Bledsoe on lead guitar and whatever else the song calls for.

From the earliest childhood influences of the acapella harmonies that rang through their papaw’s Primitive Baptist Church, Katie & the Holler Dogs have woven a beautiful musical tapestry that combines shades of h***y tonk, country, bluegrass, and punk into some of the most pure, honest sounds you will ever hear.

Throughout a Holler Dogs set you will experience a roller coaster ride of hand clapping, foot stomping joy. It’s been said that when the stars align and the moon is right, that their vocal harmonies will bring a tear to a glass eye. Come experience it for yourself and you just might agree.
