Band Line Up
Spencer Hatcher | 4:30 – 6:00 PM
Stone Country Records’ Spencer Hatcher is a bluegrass-influenced country artist who was raised on a farm in the heartland of Virginia’s Shenandoah Valley. By the age of 11, he was already playing his five-string banjo in his family’s bluegrass band. In 2020, Hatcher formed his own country band, backed by younger brother Connor Hatcher, a bass prodigy and “blood harmony” supporting vocalist.
Dubbed the “String King” by his hometown newspaper and quickly developing a reputation across Virginia and neighboring states as an exciting live performer, Hatcher self-booked and played more than 150 shows a year in both 2023 and 2024, often setting venue attendance records.
Hatcher has built a strong fan base, including more than 900,000 social media followers. On TikTok alone, the rising star has amassed over 68 million organic views and 8.6 million likes. This led to a high-profile partnership with PepsiCo, with Hatcher co-writing and performing a bluegrass jingle for a nationwide commercial for Mountain Dew Major Melon.
Hatcher’s debut EP, Honky Tonk Hideaway—a good-time destination for music fans who prefer their country served stone cold—is available now. The EP features Hatcher’s debut single, “When She Calls Me Cowboy,” which was a Top 10 Most Added Song at U.S. Country Radio (Mediabase) out-of-the-box. Saving Country Music has lauded the young old-fashioned gentleman as “one of the most promising up-and-coming voices in traditional country music.”
The Mojo Parker Express | 2:15 – 3:45 PM
Mojo Parker welcomes you to join him on his musical odyssey. His voice is recognized over the Blue Ridge Mountains, down to the Gulf Coast, and into the heart and soul of Memphis, TN. As a two-time Semi-Finalist and recent 2020 Finalist of the International Blues Challenge, Mojo is getting recognition and well received attention for his raw, intimate and passionate performance style. Blending a soulful sound with a new and refreshed look at old time classics, you’ll be transported back to a time where songs were real life stories that told the tales of the traveling troubadours of the Blues. Mojo’s talents don’t just rest in solo acoustic blues and folk music. He has recently created The Mojo Parker Express which is an eclectic sound incorporating a groove concoction of funk, rock n roll, soul and Latin flavors.
The Hackens Boys | 12:00 – 1:30 PM
The Hackens Boys are a high-energy four-piece group based out of the Shenandoah Valley in western Virginia. Through an eclectic range of influences their sound is rooted in Alternative Country, Modern Country, Classic Country, Red Dirt, and Rock. With tracks highlighted by pinpoint three-part harmonies and heartfelt melodic storytelling, this unique brand of music lends itself well to a variety of audiences by bridging several genres. Members are Spencer Wenger, Daniel Barnett, Jake Stover, and Tyler Thomas. Since their inception in 2005, The Hackens Boys have grown from a campfire jam session to an award-winning touring act throughout the Mid-Atlantic region. The “Hackens” is a sacred landscape located in the mountains of Highland County Virginia where founding members discovered the inspiration to embark on a musical journey that has spanned nearly two decades.
