Ashford Manor Concerts on the Lawn Cancelled Tonight Reply-To: " ashfordmanor@charter.net " < ashfordmanor@charter.net > We are greatly disappointed to announce that tonight's kick off for the annual Concerts on the Lawn series is going to be rescheduled due to the chance of severe thunderstorms. After consulting with the local and state meteorological departments, we have made the decision that we cannot risk the safety of our patrons and tonight's performers. The Packway Handle Band has rescheduled for September 21st, and all purchased tickets will be honored on that date. Once again, we regret having to postpone tonight's event, it was a difficult decision to come to, but the safety of our friends, families, and the musicians must take priority. The grounds of Ashford Manor will remain open if you would like to spread out your own picnics. We will be playing a pre-recorded Packway Handle performance from July of 2007 free of charge.

A Monday night outdoor summer music series On the grounds of Ashford Manor Bed and breakfast In downtown Watkinsville Presents (Southern Roots, and Blues) Monday August 18th, 2008 True Southern rock is hard to find. Maybe it's the fresh, honest simplicity of the lyrics, or maybe it's the soulful duets on slide guitars, but Delta Moon has found their voice in the aesthetics of Southern rock. It's the sound of Georgia clay and Kentucky whiskey; it's too good for any pickup truck commercial and it's too strong for any pop-country album. When Tom Gray and Mark Johnson first met at a music store, they had no idea that their slide guitar jam sessions would turn into the glorious, gritty band that it is today. With virtuosic precision and a thick, brawny, arena-worthy sound, Delta Moon will take you back to the Old South with skill and passion you won't soon forget. www.deltamoon.com 1st and 3rd Monday Series 2008 Pricing Single night admission prices: $12 for ad...
