Join us from 6-9:30pm every evening for favorites such as crab cakes, baby back ribs, heirloom tomato platters, fried chicken and smoke pork loin, plus much, much more. Rock out at The Event Glade to the tunes of some of the region’s finest musicians, and eclectic mix of jazz, country, blues, and rock and roll, including the below artists:
Jarmovers – July 28, The Summit
The Jarmovers hail from Lewisburg, WV and entertain audiences with a variety of sophisticated blues, alt-country, and straight-forward rock tunes. Armed with a catalog that ranges from obscure Bob Dylan songs to Muddy Waters, as well as underground new comers like Ryan Bingham, the band enjoys re-working many arrangements to popular songs, tailoring them to the band’s own high-energy style. Playing both acoustically and electrically, The Jarmovers create a dynamic sound that is not to be missed. The band features Dr. Bill Clapham on piano, Josh Baldwin and Johnny Foster on Guitars, Dan Freeman on Bass, and Butch White on drums.
The Wild Rumpus – July 29, The Summit
Hailing from Fayetteville, WV, The Wild Rumpus is an original sting band led by singer and songwriter Andrew Adkins. Forging a sound with one foot stopming in the past and the other stomping in the present, the bands rolls together bluegrass, swing, country and rock & roll, for a style that is uniquely their own.

Jim Snyder- July 30, The Summit
Jim Snyder and The Castaways performance features their extensive repertoire of the music of Jimmy Buffet and many others. They deliver with a tropical flair and a style uniquely their own.

Evolver – July 28, 29 & 31, The Lodge
Evolver, formed in 2006, is a musical collective made up of Saxophonist Birch Graves, Brian Carr on trombone and a rhythmic section composed of WSS resiedents Matthew Patterson on bass and Joshua Adamo on drums. Lending luscious vocals Diane Proud. The band performs instrumental soundscapes. Inspired by a multitude of musical stylings – world, jazz, electronica, and funk – Evolver successfully fuses these styles with their own creative personalities. Always trying to discover new sounds and rhythms, Evolver pulls musicians in from near and far to help inspire their musical quest. Each show is unique and full of passion.

Jim Waive & the Young Divorcees – July 31, The Summit
Jim Waive combines his no-pick, percussive style on guitar with some of the most compelling lyrics in honky tonk. His smoky voice delivers songs laden with fervor and heart. You can catch a glimpse of his Tidewater roots in the fire and brimstone melodies. This band is a true country band that supports one another like a family should (without the dysfunction). Their beauty is subtle and very real. All four are good musicians who carry on the American tradition of honky tonkin’, beer drinkin’, heart breakin’ music with a down-home authenticity.
Jennifer Kirkland – August 1, The Summit
Imagine blending the best of the sounds of Julie London, Peggy Lee, Rosemary Clooney, and Norah Jones. That’s how Jennifer Kirkland’s voice has been described by one listener. A graduate of the Indiana University School of Music, Jennifer has been performing professionally as a vocalist and keyboard player in a variety of settings and styles since the late 1970s. Since 2002, Jennifer has turned her focus back to performing jazz, pop, and blues vocals. In 2004, she released her first jazz CD, You Must Believe in Spring.
