1:30 – 2:30 Roberta LeaWith a voice like cinnamon and a pen like butter, Roberta Lea is a rising artist, ready to give the world a taste of what she’s made of. Fellow artists have called her Hampton Roads’ best kept secret. It’s as though she’s a family recipe, kept hidden until now. Pursuing music at 35 may seem like it’s a late start for some, but for Roberta Lea, it’s ideal. She’s been slowly marinating and soaking in LIFE. Now that she’s ready to do music, she has a buffet of songs that are sure to appease any listener’s pallet. Just ask the Black Opry. Her single “Sweet Baby Ray” hit the spot in the hearts of fellow artists and music lovers alike and drove her to record her very first country project “Just A Taste”. Now, she’s been nominated for 6 music awards including Song of the Year and Best E.P.! “Just A Taste” showcases the different flavors of country she infuses in her songwriting. She goes from classic country, to country soul, country rock, pop country and country folk. As a songwriter, she has no limits when it comes to expressing herself through song and telling a good story. As a Virginian, Roberta Lea follows a long list of iconic artists and hitmakers.

2:40 – 3:00 Mosaic Steel OrchestraYouth Steel Pan OrchestraDr. Hailey founded Mosaic Steel Orchestra in order to share his passion for the art form and encourage youth to strive for excellence while building within them the discipline and self-confidence necessary to overcome life’s challenges.
