The talented traditional bluegrass band Carson Peters & Iron Mountain will be performing at The Lincoln Theatre in Marion on Saturday, March 12, at 7 pm.
Carson Peters & Iron Mountain is a high-energy, traditional bluegrass band based in the Appalachian Regions of Tennessee, Virginia, and North Carolina.
The band is led by Carson Peters, a young music prodigy from Piney Flats, Tennessee. He has been playing music and entertaining audiences since the ripe old age of 3.
Carson has been blessed to tour the US and Canada, entertaining audiences with his band Iron Mountain; an award-winning group of Christian musicians that he also calls his best buddies.
The band consists of Eric and Ben Marshall from Mt. Airy, North Carolina, Austin Tate from Marion, Virginia, James McDowell from Henderson, North Carolina, and Carson’s father Jamie Peters.
Carson and the band love to play bluegrass, bluegrass gospel, and “grassed-up” vintage country.
Their love for God and playing music is a contagious atmosphere and brings smiles to their fans and audiences.
Carson has made numerous national TV appearances including NBC’s “The Voice” Season 21 and as guest fiddler for Ricky Skaggs during the 52nd Annual CMA Awards.
Located in the heart of Marion’s vibrant downtown district, The Lincoln Theatre is a gorgeously restored theatre in the Mayan Revival style, offering year-round entertainment including; live music, comedy events, diversity awareness programs, classic & independent film series, youth artistic camps, theatrical performances, and so much more!
