Summit Coffee welcomes back two accomplished alumni musicians Friday, Sept. 11, during Davidson College’s Homecoming Weekend. And more alums will be playing Saturday in a show with Rusty Knox and Friends.
Bobby Houck and Dustin Edge will split the bill for an evening of music from 8 to 11 at Summit, 128 S. Main St.
Mr. Houck, class of 1987, has toured steadily for the past 20 years as the lead singer for regional favorites the Blue Dogs. Their music is layered with elements of Americana and employs pop sensibilities. Bobby and the band have released 10 albums, toured nationally with Hootie and the Blowfish, and continue to get solid radio play.
Mr. Edge, class of 2000, was a founding member and lead singer for Cast Iron Filter. For five years, Cast Iron Filter toured regionally in support of their five independent releases. With more than 50,000 records sold, CIF grabbed fans with an energetic blend of bluegrass and rock and roll. Dustin now lives in New York City where he plays shows around the city and is working on his second solo effort.
Bobby Houck will play from 8:00 to 9:30 and Dustin Edge will finish the show from 9:30 to 11.
Meanwhile, on Saturday night Rusty Knox and friends will entertain with a folky blend of country, rock, and bluegrass. That’s also from 8-11 p.m. Rusty’s group includes Brad Reddick, Class of ’91, and Mike Orlando , Class of 2000.
