22nd Annual Western Classic & Barbecue Presented by The Action Group, Human Resources Solutions and hosted by The Lea Brothers Band

Hold on to your lampshade, darlin.

We are pleased to announce the date for the 22nd Annual Western Classic & Barbecue to be held at Rose Hill Farm on Saturday, October 20, 2012. We are very excited to announce that Eli “Paperboy” Reed and the True Loves will be joining us for this year’s festivities! Powered by his dynamic horn section and channeling the likes of Otis Redding and Wilson Picket through his all original tunes, the young prodigy from Boston will leave his audience chanting for "more, more, more!"

The sounds and lights reverberating from the western horizon are evidence of the lingering euphoria from the 2011 Western Classic in Linville, NC. Hundreds of music lovers - and Foundation Fighting Blindness supporters - took to the dance floor and cheered the extraordinary Eli "Paperboy" Reed and the True Loves. We are thrilled to be bringing more of Paperboy and the True Loves to eastern North Carolina for the 2012 Western Classic at Rose Hill Farm near Rocky Mount. (To get a small taste of what we're raving about, check out Eli "Paperboy" Reed with Daryl Hall, Live From Daryl's House, on YouTube.)
