Wappapello, Missouri -  Two bands, two great nights of entertainment!  On Friday night, October 11th music fans can expect Blue Grace to perform Bluegrass and Gospel Music. This popular band has performed in the area at many local events. Their style of music is a favorite of many in the area.

On Saturday night, another great local band is the Alex Beaird Band.  They are a blues-rock outfit out of Southeast Missouri. A sense of rhythm, minimalist song structure, and vintage guitar tone characterize the sound conveyed on their first release "Shine On." Alex Beaird is the singer, songwriter, and lead guitarist for the band, and has worked the Southeast Missouri music scene for three years fronting the rock band Bull Mountain Revelry. The new project is a bluesier, more soulful approach to rock 'n roll, with influences of folk, jazz, country, and Americana. Tyler Pullum will join Alex on twin acoustic guitars.

The Lake Wappapello Outdoor Theatre is adjacent to the Crabb & Co. Restaurant and is located on T highway, 2 miles south of the dam in Wappapello.

Admission is FREE for all performances at the community theatre, however donations to the bands are appreciated.

In case of rain the show will be held in the Music Barn adjacent to the Outdoor Theatre. Bring your lawn chair and come out for a night of great entertainment. For the comfort of all guests we ask to keep the event smoke and pet free. No coolers allowed.

For additional information about the theatre or the performance schedule, contact Jason Crabb at 573-222-7401.  Music begins at 6:30 p.m.  Enjoy the entertainment!
