JUN 21 – X of the Potomac
Saturday, June 21 at 7:00 pm (doors open 6:30)
Local favorite X of the Potomac is an Americana and alt-country music group from Shepherdstown, WV.
Led by Than & Mary Anne Hitt, the group writes and plays original Americana roots rock and covers (e.g., Lucinda Williams, Gillian Welch, Wilco, Johnny Cash, and Elvis Presley).
The story behind their name: During the Civil War, the Union Army, called the ‘Army of the Potomac,” occupied our area some of the time. Says the band: “We are all Gen X’ers, and we occupy this area now, so we are ‘X of the Potomac.'”
The historic Shepherdstown Opera House is cozy vaudeville era theater with limited seating and we’ll have a dance floor set up for this show — advance ticket purchase encouraged. Online sales end 2 hours before showtime. Beer, wine, soft drinks and snacks for sale during the performance (ID required for beer & wine purchase, no outside food or drinks please).
