    Event Description:
    Eddie Adcock's professional career as a 5 string banjoist began in 1953 with Smokey Graves & His Blue Star Boys, who had a regular show at a radio station in Crewe, VA. This led to jobs with other musicians, including Bill Monroe, Mac Wiseman, Bill Harrell, and Buzz Busby. After Elvis Presley decimated the market for country music, Adcock returned to working day jobs. Then he joined The Country Gentlemen, which went on to become a bluegrass music industry fixture for decades. He now performs with his wife Martha and former Seldom Scene bass player Tom Gray, and calls Nashville his home. Doors open at 6pm, concert starts at 7pm. Series at the park's Visitor Center is sponsored by the Friends of Frying Pan Park and Vienna hardwoods in cooperation with FCPA. Food and drinks available for purchase.
