This relaxed, family-friendly festival features children’s activities during daylight hours, plenty of shade, and free nearby parking, with free shuttle service. Food options include BBQ, ribs, and chicken, along with vegetarian and vegan offerings. The local focus extends into the beverage offerings, with Angry Troll Brewing, Skull Camp Brewing and Slightly Askew Winery on site.
Lineup of artists for Reevestock 2019 includes Mipso, Brent Cobb, Time Sawyer, Songs From the Road Band, Nicholas Jamerson, Isaac Smith and Shay Martin Lovette.
Its tag-line is “Keep Yadkin Valley’s Music Alive (and Kickin’)” and it does just that, starting with the Downtown Get-Down Block Party at 5 pm on Friday in downtown Elkin. During this free outdoor kick-off party, featuring Swim in the Wild duo, the Reeves Theater will be open for drink purchases. Following the Block Party, Brent Cobb & Them will perform at The Reeves Theater ($20-$30.) Brent Cobb’s songs have been performed by Luke Bryan, Kenny Chesney and Miranda Lambert, and many more country music heavy hitters, and his major- label debut album, Shine On Rainy Day, received a Grammy nomination for Best Americana Album.
The party continues at 10 pm with the Late Night Hoot, as Charlotte-based funk band Akita keeps the music going at a free show at Angry Troll Brewing.
The main event, on Saturday, August 3, from 1:00 pm to 11:00 pm, gives the public the rare opportunity to visit Elkin’s Hidden Amphitheater, a privately-owned entertainment venue nestled in the wooded, gentle North Carolina foothills. The main stage is an artfully designed gazebo surrounded with a running stream with connected waterfalls. The amphitheater glows in the light of illuminated trees at night.
The headlining artist on Saturday, performing at 8:30 pm, is Mipso, a Chapel Hill quartet that has grown from its string band roots into a multi-faceted Americana band, winning praise from American Songwriter, Rolling Stone, Amplifier Magazine and more.
