Description
City of Roanoke Parks and Recreation is excited to bring back one of our favorite event series, Music on the Mountain but in honor of the Disco XC Race we are putting on Boogie on the Mountain! Bring your family and friends and enjoy an amazing evening on Mill Mountain! Kerosene Willy is Freestyle Rock ‘n’ Roll Roots Music at its finest. With roots in the jam and blues scene in St. Louis, KW has been churning up grooves for more than a quarter century. A blend of Rock, Blues, Jazz, Country, Bluegrass, Funk, and World Beat, the Willy has been doing the “Jam-Band” thing since there was barely a term. A set of KW is an eclectic and improvisatory boogieing blend of organic spontaneity that takes the audience on a journey through a ménage of sound and color, space and time. Every show is unique. Every show is different. And every show brings an experience blended from the soulful and powerful delivery of well-crafted original music and choice covers. Food Truck: KEFI – Greek Food w/ Passion *Beer, seltzer, tea, non-alcoholic beverages, and snacks will also be for sale throughout the event.*

More about Mill Mountain Park
Mill Mountain Park is a beautiful park overlooking the city, best known as the home of the Roanoke Star. The star stands 88.5 feet tall, lit by 2,000 feet of neon, and you can see it from all over the Valley. There are two overlooks with views stretching out for 50+ miles, plus the 3.3-mile Star Trail climbing up from Riverland Road. A huge variety of events happen here, from races, group hikes, seasonal gatherings, and music but if you're in town, even if there isn't an event, you should go for the views.
