On Saturday, June 6th at 7:30pm, friends of Lime Kiln Fatty Lumpkin and the Love Hogs return to Lexington to perform classic rock and roll. The band, once a local favorite, reunited last year to open for Rolling Stones cover band Satisfaction.

Fatty Lumpkin is excited to be playing on the Lime Kiln stage once again. Many will recall this local band opening the Lime Kiln summer concert series for several years in the mid-1990's with their tight versions of well-known rock, blues and soul numbers. The band broke up several years ago after its lead singer and guitar player, Michael George, moved to South Carolina. However, the band reunited to play Lime Kiln two years ago.
The band was extremely popular in the 1990's and played both in this area and throughout the state. Whether it was songs by Eric Clapton, Delbert McClinton, Buddy Guy or Stevie Ray Vaughn, the band always brought the crowd to their feet.
Fatty Lumpkin consists of Michael George on lead vocals and guitar, Ray Cohen on percussion and harmonica, Greg Montgomery on bass guitar, Lance Foster on drums and John Vita on lead guitar and vocals. The band promises a rocking start to what will be a great evening of rock and roll.

Rehearsal are progressing smoothly for Good Ol' Girls, June 12-14. Good Ol' Girls is a music revue about Southern women. University of North Carolina professor Paul Ferguson drew characters from the writing of authors Lee Smith and Jill McCorkle. The music is by Matraca Berg and Marshall Chapman. Southern Virginia University professor Rob Smith directs. Music director Mary Harvey will be joined by guitarist Brian Blickle and drummer Brian Spritzer.
