It's going to be a wonderful Sunday Fun Day with John and Brian Rimel back in the tropics of Free Union. Delighting all with their original songs here in our very own slice of paradise nestled at the foot of the Blue Ridge. Sunday, August 22nd, from 3 to 5:30pm. Open to all, no cover.
Bio:
John Rimel is an award-winning songwriter from central Virginia, with credits including songs featured on seven Top 10 Billboard albums, Country Music Song of the Year, and an album considered for a 2019 Grammy. He has toured nationally and is a voting member of the Recording Academy (Grammys). John performs his original repertoire (an eclectic mix of Americana, blues, rock, folk, country, bluegrass, and gospel) in an acoustic duo with Brian Rimel. The paired-down presentation of piano and acoustic guitar, highlighted by family harmony, affords the listener an intimate musical experience and, best of all, a chance to hear his songs as they were written.
