Some of Rome’s favorite acoustic singer/songwriters are to perform including Scott Thompson, Jon Byrd, Corey Tucker and Atlanta artist Brent McDonald.
-Curiosity Shoppe is scheduled to arrive and continue their reign as ultimate party band. Bent in Bama will be in town with their fresh Southern rock originals and classics. Michael Jack Band will play country favorites. Scott Warren and the Booze Mountaineers have grown from a super-talented trio to a super-talented full band and will be performing their Appalachian folk rock. Atlanta based multi-instrumentalist and guitar virtuoso Dixie Duncan will wow listeners with compositions on the heavier side.
-And the oldest symphony in the South, the Rome Symphony Orchestra, will host Juilliard alumnus Annie Camp on cello.
