Darla Groff Flannery has been tapped to open the June 18th, 2022 edition of Wabash Roots’N’Que on the Harris Insurance Pavilion. Darla, who was judged winner of the 2019 RNQ “Emerging Artist” competition, is a lifelong resident of Wabash County.
Growing up in the Lancaster area, she’s now well known throughout the county for her musical talents. Her selections for the performance will include Christian, Country & Pop. In addition to her solos, Darla will be adding sisters Rhonda Grinols & Nancy Olsthoorn to the line-up, and they’ll be featured during several old-time church hymns.
Darla’s 10am performance will kick off a solid 12 hours of American Roots Music, culminating with Nashville artist Mel Tillis Jr, scheduled from 8:30 to 10pm.
In addition to on stage performances, there will be a full schedule of events indoors, hosted next door by the Wabash County Museum. RNQ’s Backyard BBQ Competition, “Smoke On The Wabash”, will provide the aromas for those attending, along with a chance for cash prizes and trophies for the competitors. Several Food Trucks and Craft Vendors will be on the street throughout the day. Applications for Vendors and BBQ Teams are available @ rootsnque.com.
“It’s going to be a fun day on Market Street in Mt. Carmel!” according to RNQ Chairman Dennis Stroughmatt,“so be sure and bring your lawn chairs, blankets & sunglasses!”
