SUMMARY:Concert at the Cider House: Josh Phillips\, Rotundo\, & Chris Nelson
DESCRIPTION:Get ready for a night you’ll be talking about all summer\, A Night of the Stories Behind the Songs! Josh Phillips\, Rotundo\, & Chris Nelson – Live at James Creek Cider House in Cameron on Saturday\, May 9th\, from 3PM-8PM! \nJosh Phillips is quickly becoming one of the most exciting names in country music. With a raw\, authentic sound and lyrics that hit home\, Josh recently wrote the summer 2025 hit “Giving Her Away” with Luke Combs — a song that captured hearts across the country and put him back on the national radar following his #1 hit with Cody Johnson\, “Dirt Cheap”. Seeing him in an intimate orchard setting before his calendar fills up is a rare opportunity. \nRotundo brings powerhouse vocals and an electric stage presence that commands attention. Blending modern country with soulful grit\, Rotundo delivers high-energy performances that turn a show into an experience. Songs like “Hold Your Horses” and “Heart Attack” tell a story with feeling and energy. When these two share a stage\, the chemistry is undeniable — and the crowd feels every minute of it. \nOpening the evening is Chris Nelson\, a Moore County favorite and a 2025 four-time JMA nominee at the Grand Ole Opry. If you’ve seen Chris at James Creek before\, you know he brings soul\, energy\, and serious talent to every stage he steps on. \n– Orchard views\n– Fresh James Creek cider\n– Local beer available\n– Food truck on site\n– Live music under the lights \nThis is more than a concert — it’s a one-stop Saturday night experience. Grab dinner\, sip something cold\, and settle in for an unforgettable show in one of the most beautiful outdoor venues in Moore County! Full details and online ticket purchases can be found through the event website provided below. \n \n
