Winchester Wire #015: great music for a great cause, homes of the week, events and more.

Happy Wednesday, Winstigators!

There’s a lot to see and do in Winchester but I wanted to shine a light on Katie’s Country Music Festival that’s happening at The Monument on Friday evening. I wrote about it in Winchester Wire #005, but since there are a lot more subscribers now it’s worth a quick review.

This is a great lineup of musicians that are coming together for a great cause. If you like country music, want to see some up-and-coming artists and support Katie’s Comfort House, The Monument is the place to be in Winchester on Friday night.

If you want to check out the artists that are performing, here are some links:

Ben Chapman: Be sure to check out his 2024 release, “Downbeat.” It’s been in steady rotation at my house.

Taylor Hunnicutt: “Saw Blade Hill” rips, as does “Alabama Sound.”

Micah Howard and the Southern Ghost: Originally from Columbia, South Carolina and now living in Tennessee, Micah’s released two singles this year. If you like gritty, grungy Southern Rock, this is for you.

I also want to shout-out loyal Winstigator Joanne who submitted an event happening at Vibrissa in Winchester on Thursday from 7-10pm. If you like great drinks, great food and dancing, you’ll want to check out her event “You Should Be Dancing” (flyer below).

If you have an upcoming event that fits the vibe of Winchester Wire (fun things to do, tasty food and beverages: yes - school board meetings and city council meetings: no) and want it included in an upcoming issue of Winchester Wire, reply to this message and let me know. Having an online link is great, having a great looking flyer is even better!
