Bluegrass At The Rock: Authentic Unlimited

Continuing the long awaited return of Bluegrass at the Rock, Authentic Unlimited will take the stage Saturday, November 2 at the historic Old Rock School. The Bluegrass at the Rock season will run October 2024 through April 2025, with a break in December for the holiday season. Season tickets are still available for purchase for $140 per person, which will include all remaining five performances, as well as preferred seating.

While still considered “new” as an original band, the members of Authentic Unlimited are hardly new to the bluegrass scene, with three of the band’s members (Jerry Cole, Eli Johnston, and Stephen Burwell) previous musicians of Doyle Lawson and Quicksilver. Joining forces with John Meador and Jesse Brock, the band has quickly established their reputation in the bluegrass scene as a genuine force, earning 8 international bluegrass association nominations including: Gospel Recording of the Year, Collaborative Recording of the Year, Album of the Year, Song of the Year, Music Video of the Year, Vocal Group of the Year, and Mandolin Player of the Year (Jesse Brock).

The doors open at 6:30 P.M. and the show will begin at 7:30 P.M. Tickets may be purchased in advance at the presale price of $30 by calling 828-874-6774 or online at concertsattherock.com. Attendees may also purchase tickets at the door for $35. Concessions will be available purchase courtesy of Faith Community Church. Concert attendees are also encouraged to explore the charming downtown district of Valdese, home to several owned locally owned restaurants and shops.
