Hey Howard, yes, I'll be with them on lead guitar and mandolin. On pedal steel we'll have Bobby "Muskrat" Reames, Garland Abbott III on bass guitar, Tee Meroney on rhythm guitar, Roger Gray on fiddle and Lonnie Godfrey on drums. Always a great turnout for this event, thanks for posting this.....JH in Va.

The Phelps Brothers were local musicians/singers in the 30's, 40's, and 50's who went to Hollywood and appeared in movies with Ray Whitley, Tex Ritter and others. Willie Phelps wrote songs recorded by Jim Reeves, Ernest Tubb, and even Elvis Presley. His dauthter (Bobbie) and her husband Ed Beard, (former NFL player with the 49'ers), put on the event along with the City of Chesapeake. It's all outdoors and under shade trees so if you're in the area bring your lawn chair. Food and restrooms are available on site...


Pack some bottled water and git on over to Lakeside Park this Sunday afternoon 10 June, 2012. The show starts at 1pm. Hear the Best Country & Western and Other Music in Tidewater!
