Glen Shelton

Glen Shelton has shared the stage with many well-known performers, including Joe Nichols and Jameson Rodgers and opening for Randy Travis. Signed to Jordash Records in Nashville, Glens first national Country music release was Writing You a Love Song. Since then, Glen has continued to record, place songs on the Country Music charts, and perform up and down the East Coast. We’re glad he and his band had the time available to share with us! They will take the stage around 6:30 p.m.

The Reflections Band

Kicking off the performances will be The Reflections Band, a local band some may remember helped us bring concerts back to Jackson Park in 2021. The band is known for playing a range of popular hits that will get your toes tapping and maybe more. Dancing is not only allowed, it’s encouraged! The Reflections Band goes on stage at 3 p.m.

Also sharing the stage will be our own Greater Pulaski Junior Appalachian Musicians. Otherwise known as GRAPe JAM, these young performers learn traditional music, dance, and culture through a voluntary after-school program. GRAPe JAM will perform around 5:30 p.m. All of this plus great food, artists, and crafts for kids are sure to make this an enjoyable day you won’t want to miss.
