Live Music concert Saturday evening with

CARSON PETERS AND IRON MOUNTAIN

Carson Peters and Iron Mountain has quickly become one of the most energetic and hottest bands in the business, making numerous trips to the Grand Ole Opry, multiple international appearances, and having countless songs on the bluegrass and bluegrass gospel charts. Their traditional style and A Cappella arrangements are a refreshing reminder that the bluegrass of old is alive and well. The band is made up of Carson Peters (22), from Piney Flats, TN, James McDowell (30), from Hendersonville, NC, Taylor Parks (22), from Bloxom, VA, Henry Burgess (19), from Edmond, OK, and Jake Goforth (19), from Troy, NC. Carson and the band signed with Billy Blue Records in 2023, and are gearing up for the release of their 2nd album under the esteemed bluegrass label. The boys give God all the glory for allowing them to accomplish what they have so far, and trust His plan to guide them through the future.
