7:00 p.m. - Austin Rife - Auditorium - Free

Born in the small town of New Oxford, Pennsylvania, Austin Rife was raised on traditional country music.  Upon his Grandfather, Jim Rife's passing in 2004, Austin picked up his guitar and learned to play.  Austin's grandfather not only passed down the gift of song, but also the gift of songwriting to him.  Although Austin never played a song with his Grandfather, he lives with him on stage every night and continues to carry Jim's legacy.  Austin released his first fully original record Back for More in 2013 while attending Appalachian State University in Boone, NC.  North Carolina gave Austin hybrid roots that extended into bluegrass, folk, and non-traditional country.  Although Rife is a modern country singer songwriter, his roots help to shape the music he writes.  In early 2020, Austin reached a deal with OmniSound Studios in Nashville to independently release his new 5 song EP GasolineGasoline takes the listener on a roller coaster with rowdy tunes like  "The Makers" and "Mason Jar" while also bringing humor to a breakup in "Leave my Dog".  "Rife brings heartfelt rootsy emotion with a touch of romance to songs like "Small Towns are Home" and "Starting a Fire".  Gasoline was released to the public in late January.  Check out his music at his website at austinrife.com/about/.

Friday, July 25

7:00 p.m. -

Chris Woodward and Shindiggin- Auditorium - Free

Chris Woodward's repertoire encompasses a wide range of country music genres.  He performs songs from his own records as well as current top 40 hits, old school country hits, Southern rock hits and classes rock hits.  Woodward and his band, Shindiggin, play 100 to 110 shows a year.

That's certainly a different twist than the young boy from Mount Union who took guitar lessons - but quit.  Several years later, when he joined the United States Navy, Woodward picked up the instrument again. This time, it changed his life's path.  Life at sea can be a lonely place and the then 21-year-old Woodward decided to buy his first guitar off a fellow sailor.  He thought he could teach himself how to play the guitar.  That's what he did on his downtime.  Before he knew it he was writing his own songs, and that is how it all began.
