- **Event Description**: Thursday, April 30, 2026 | 6:30pm | The Forest Amphitheater

Join us for a magical spring evening in the forest with two of the most compelling voices in American roots music.

Dori Freeman brings her Blue Ridge soul to the Thistlerock stage — a Galax, Virginia native who has spent five albums carving out her own corner of Appalachian Americana. From mountain-town folk to expansive, electrified storytelling, Freeman sings with the kind of unforced honesty that makes you feel like she's singing your life back to you. Her latest record Do You Recall is her boldest yet — layered, luminous, and unmistakably her own.

Ric Robertson is the kind of artist you stumble upon and never forget. A collaborator with the likes of Lucius, The Wood Brothers, and Sierra Ferrell, Robertson is an artist's artist — but it's his solo work where his vision comes fully alive. A singer-songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, and visual artist who hauls an actual upright piano from town to town, he makes every show feel like a one-of-a-kind event. Somewhere between timeless folk wisdom and psychedelic backroom vaudeville, his latest record Choices and Chains turns heartbreak and hilarity into something you'll be humming for days.

Sip handcrafted mead, breathe the evening air, and let two extraordinary artists remind you what live music is all about.

🍯 Mead, other beverages, & food available for purchase onsite | 🌲 Forest Amphitheater seating - guests are welcomed to bring their favorite festival chairs or picnic blankets.
