New Year’s Jammin’ Eve 2021

Presented By Classic Brands

(Waverly) – New Year’s Jammin’ Eve is set for Friday, December 31st at the Waverly Eagles and features two bands that offer a mix of pop, country, and bluegrass music.

The featured act – The Goodwin Brothers – includes lead singer Kenneth Chase Bush, a finalist during season five of American Idol. The group is from Lexington, Kentucky, and performs a mix of pop, country, and bluegrass music that has made them one of the Ohio Valley’s hottest bands.

Following a catered dinner by longtime local restauranteur Lloyd Harmon that begins at 6 p.m., Bourbon Revival will kick off the music. This hard-driving band from Louisville, Kentucky, also performs songs from a range of genres with crowd-pleasing covers and original material.

“When Sam Karr and I began this New Year’s Eve event a few years ago, I wanted to create a nice, professional event locally so people from the area didn’t have to travel to Columbus or Cincinnati for a New Year’s Eve experience,” said Rick Greene, a Waverly resident and co-organizer of the SamJam Bluegrass Festival, which sponsors the event with the Waverly Eagles, where the event takes place. “It’s a perfect event for a date with a great dinner, great bands, and a local DJ (Matt Snodgrass) who will help us ring in the new year.”

Tickets are $80 and all bar proceeds benefit the Waverly Eagles.
“Rick and I make sure that our events have top-quality talent,” Karr said. “We’re really excited to bring The Goodwin Brothers and Bourbon Revival to Waverly. These aren’t necessarily straight-away bluegrass bands, these are versatile bands with talented singers and musicians who will put on a really great show.”
