Variety of entertainment planned<br />
for <strong>2018</strong> Central <strong>Railroad</strong> <strong>Festival</strong><br />
An exciting line-up of entertainment<br />
for all ages is on tap this<br />
year for the Central <strong>Railroad</strong> <strong>Festival</strong>.<br />
We will again be featuring entertainment<br />
on two stages for the<br />
entire festival. Two of the headliners<br />
for the main state are Thermonuclear<br />
Rodeo, featuring local<br />
talent Tony Tidwell, and Jennifer<br />
Gorre and the Young Appalachian<br />
Musicians’ “Sweet Potato Pie.” The<br />
headliner for the Kids Stage is Buffalo<br />
Barfield with his famous “Jug<br />
Band Jam” which features kids performing<br />
on stage with Buffalo. For<br />
one of his performances he will<br />
be joined by his wife Michelle and<br />
old pal P. Doodle Possum. He will<br />
have three performances during<br />
the festival.<br />
Joining the other performers<br />
on the main stage will be the Daniel<br />
Jazz band.<br />
As in previous years, the <strong>Railroad</strong><br />
<strong>Festival</strong> will partner with the<br />
Clemson Music <strong>Festival</strong>. At 3 p.m.,<br />
we will transition to the Music<br />
<strong>Festival</strong> with Jack Roper and the<br />
Weatherman Band. Then at 5:15<br />
p.m., The Flying Saucers will return<br />
featuring rockabilly and oldies<br />
music. This part of the festival will<br />
conclude around 7:30 p.m.<br />
BUFFALO BARFIELD AND P. DOODLE POSSUM<br />
On the Kids Stage, addition<br />
performers will be Sherwood<br />
Drive, the award-winning Hot<br />
Foot Cloggers and a karate demonstration<br />
by Kuk Sool Won of<br />
Clemson.<br />
Please refer to the entertainment<br />
schedule for the times of all<br />
of the performances.<br />
Buffalo Barfield<br />
The Barfields present interactive<br />
concerts featuring Old Time<br />
Appalachian & Jug Band instruments<br />
like the washboard, spoons,<br />
kazoo, jug and the washtub bass!<br />
Gregg “Buffalo” Barfield is joined<br />
on stage by his wife, vocalist and<br />
rub-board player, Michele, to present<br />
the “Jug Band Jam & Washboard<br />
Workshop.”<br />
Together, they are a living link<br />
to our historical past! By engaging<br />
young and old, they reconnect us<br />
with our heritage through song and<br />
dance, music and laughter!<br />
Buffalo Barfield has been a<br />
regular featured artist at the nation-<br />
