BLACK TOP BOOGIE

2 p.m., Riverfest Amphitheater. Free.

An
annual country concert sponsored by KSSN 96 FM, this year’s Black Top
Boogie comes courtesy of your local natural gas driller, Chesapeake
Energy, always eager to engender goodwill. Boogie is the culmination of
the company-sponsored “Music in the Park,” a two-week concert series at
the Riverfest Amphitheater. A who’s who of country music up-and-comers
headline the all-day concert. The end of the night headliner is likely
to be either country-pop pretty Chuck Wicks or contemporary country (read: NashVegas) singer Luke Bryan. Or you never know, maybe one of the ladies will get top-billing. Ashton Shepherd pairs Dixie Chicks-style folk-country with tough-woman lyrics, while former “Dancing with the Stars” winner Julianne Hough does big, beaming country-pop weepers. Tickets are free, but must be picked up at an outlet. Find locations at kssn.com.
