Description

Jonny Corndawg and Shovels & Rope perform live at Border Bash in historic downtown Bristol on June 15.?

Jonny Corndawg - Jonny Corndawg is a country singer, not a singer-songwriter. Born in Montana, raised in rural Virginia, Corndawg has been touring on his motorcycle since he dropped out of school in 2001. He's played shows in every U.S. state, Canada and eleven European countries, Australia, Argentina and India. But you won't find him on CMT. His music is more in the vein of that obscure '70s gay country that housewives would discover on a Bear Family reissue in twenty years. In addition to pursuing the lost art of the Real Deal, Corndawg is an airbrushing, leather-working, marathon-running, truck-driving American. Born and Bred. http://www.pissonford.org

Shovels & Rope - Guitars, a junkyard drum kit (harvested from an actual garbage heap- adorned with tambourines, flowers and kitchen rags), a handful of harmonicas, voices, and above all.. songs. Hailing from Charleston, South Carolina, Shovels & Rope prefer to keep it simple. They have cleverly managed to take 3 separate recording projects and combine them into one cohesive, folk rock, sloppy tonk, harmonized, loose but tight, streamlined audience killing machine.? http://www.shovelsandrope.com?

Border Bash features live music on select Friday nights from May to August. The evenings' events will start with children's activities, crafters, and concessions at 6PM.? Live music begins at 7PM. Open FREE to the public.
