Woody and Marcia McKenzie have been making music together since they were married in 1983. Residents of Virginia since 1985, they have entertained audiences throughout the U.S. and in Canada, Denmark and Belize with their unique blend of contemporary and original folk, traditional music of southern Appalachia and the British Isles, funny songs, and even some swing and jazz standards. They accompany their strong individual and duet vocals with a variety of instruments and encourage their audiences to sing along and make a joyful noise.There is so much to do at Peaks of Otter. Visitors can camp or stay the night at the historic lodge, dine in the restaurant, tour Johnson Farm and Polly Wood’s Ordinary, take a stroll around Abbott Lake, hike a trail, or take in a concert. Milepost Music concerts are held the second Sunday of the month, June through September, near the banks of Abbott Lake. In case of rain, concerts may be moved to the event room at the restaurant.
The Blue Ridge Music Center’s Milepost Music brings free concerts by local and regional artists to locations along the scenic Blue Ridge Parkway. No tickets are needed. Bring a chair and a picnic lunch. No alcohol permitted on site.
