David Lee Murphy to headline Riverside Days

WHITESBURG - On Saturday, August 15, country star David Lee Murphy will headline the Riverside Days festival in Whitesburg, sponsored by the City of Whitesburg, Coca-Cola, and the Riverside Days festival committee.

The three-day regional event will begin on Thursday, August 13, at Riverside Park, next to Whitesburg ARH Hospital.

Murphy became a household name in the mid-nineties with the success of such hits like "Dust On The Bottle," "Party Crowd," "Out With A Bang," "Every Time I Get Around You," "The Road You Leave Behind," and more.

He continued his success into the new millennium with hits like "Loco" and "Inspiration." Murphy has also wrote or co-wrote hits for many other stars, including "Living In Fast Forward" for Kenny Chesney.

"There is a theme to David Lee's music; fun!" said festival production manager Kevin Flint. "When he hits the stage, there is electricity in the air. He plays uptempo hit after hit. It is the party atmosphere we like."

According to Flint, Nashville Recording Artist Kate Sansing will open the show for Murphy with a mixture of Neon-based After Shock and Whitesburg-based East KY Tyme as her band. Both bands will also perform during the festival.

"This festival has always been about fun," Flint said. "This year's lineup will not let you down. All the entertainers will deliver uptempo fun music and bring energy to Letcher County."

The festival will also continue to feature its popular Mountain Outreach Idol, sponsored by Vernon Hall and his McRoberts-based company. Its past two winners, Misty Johnson and Taylyn Combs, will also perform on Saturday.

Other events include the rubber duck race, WDXC Home Grown Show, an auction, Jam Room Junkies, and lots of entertainment.
