💫 Don't miss Noah Guthrie at the Barn at Mabee Farm tomorrow (Thursday) night!

🎸 An Americana singer-songwriter, Guthrie's sound has been described as possessing Chris Stapleton’s country/rock grit with the authenticity of Jason Isbell. The unique soulfulness in his richly textured voice and the unmistakable Southern influence in his music makes him capable of conveying emotion as only a handful of artists can in today’s musical landscape. Noah's latest album, BLUE WALL, honors the Blue Ridge Mountains where he grew up and still resides. Noah is passionate about making good, honest music - music that sounds like him - music that relates - music that makes the listener feel something.

📍 Thursday, August 27 at 7pm at Mabee Farm Historic Site, tickets $7

Noah was also a cast member of the hit FOX TV show, GLEE, and a semi-finalist on the 13th season of America’s Got Talent!
