Stacy Mitchhart With Oli Mississippi Macdonald Live In Faversham

PURCHASE TICKETS About the Band Nashville’s “King of the Blues” comes to Faversham for a rare, intimate, and fully seated showcase. Rockin’ Roots Events is proud to present a trans-Atlantic blues spectacular featuring the legendary Stacy Mitchhart(Nashville, TN) and the UK’s own triple-award-winning soul-blues sensation, Oli “Mississippi” MacDonald. This is a “plugged-in acoustic” show—stripped back but full of fire, set in a comfortable, fully seated environment. Stacy Mitchhart Known as the “King of the Blues” in Nashville, Stacy Mitchhart is the long-standing house act at the famed Bourbon Street Blues & Boogie Bar in Printers Alley. A showman in every sense, Stacy holds 13 major endorsements and has been crowned “Blues Entertainer of the Year” and “Acoustic Blues Act of the Year” by the Music City Blues Society. While he has played to crowds of 50,000 and shared stages with legends like B.B. King and James Brown, this show offers a rare chance to see him up close. He brings his mastery of the Cigar Box Guitar and his “drum-like” percussive playing style to the stage, delivering a high-energy performance that is as humorous as it is gritty. “I haven’t heard anyone that has that fire in a long time.” — Junior Wells “Watch out! This is one bad, young man.” — Bobby “Blue” Bland Oli “Mississippi” MacDonald Joining Stacy on stage as special guest is London’s own soul-blues powerhouse, Oli “Mississippi” MacDonald.

Frisbee Golf & Cornhole Game

Frisbee golf is a flying disc sport in which players throw a disc at a target, it is played using rules similar to golf. Players complete a hole by throwing a disc from a tee area toward a target, throwing again from where the previous throw landed, until the target is reached. Cornhole is a lawn game popular in North America in which players or teams take turns throwing fabric bean bags at a raised, angled board with a hole in its far end. The goal of the game is to score points by either landing a bag on the board (one point) or putting a bag through the hole (three points).
