Opening set, 6:30 pm: Don Meixner
Main Presenters, 7:00 pm: Loren & LJ Barrigar
Loren Barrigar started playing guitar when he was only four years old, and by the time he was six played the Chet Atkins hit “Yackety Axe” in front of thousands of country music fans at the Grand Ole Opry in Nashville. He went on to study with Chet’s brother, Jimmy Atkins, which led to a touring career with his family band from Nashville to Las Vegas. Since settling down in Central New York, he has been in constant demand as a studio musician.
Loren's finely-honed songwriting skills have launched his melodies on NBC’s #1 rated show “ER”, “The Young and The Restless” and on a Christmas CD with BB King and Patti Labelle.
Following in his father's footsteps, LJ Barrigar is a guitar prodigy, too. He has played alongside Loren at a variety of venues large and small across North America and beyond. He brings a youthful spirit and sound to the acoustic guitar while breathing a gentle soulful vibe into the Father-Son duo. Together they provide their audience with a unique interplay, a charming and exciting performance that folks will not want to miss.
