John Kelly w/ Rusty Speidel at The Stage, February 8
By WTJU
John Kelly has been part of the Central Virginia singer-songwriter circuit for many years. As a special treat, he will come in out of the cold along with Rusty Speidel on Tuesday night, February 8, from 8-9 (est) to perform for us all in support of WTJU’s Folk Marathon.
This is a free event, open to all (although it is a part of the Folk Marathon so donations are welcome). Masks are required for all attendees. You can also listen on the radio (91.1 FM) or on-line, and even video stream it at WTJU’s Facebook page or YouTube channel. But concerts always sound better with you as part of the studio audience. WTJU is located at 2244 Ivy Rd in Charlottesville, right next door to Vivace. There is plenty of parking, both in our lot as well as the Sentara lot next door.
