Country comes to RTC! Will Moseley, 2024 American Idol runner-up, is out of small-town South Georgia but brings a big country sound. Opening will be Loudoun County’s own Sela Campbell, who, at just 18 years old, is fast developing a loyal fanbase across the Southeast and Mid-Atlantic.
Another first-timer in RTC: stellar vocals, a full horn section, and unique elements of NOLA funk, classic rock, and jazz improvisation to keep things bouncy. Set your mood to festive because your boat will be a-rockin'.
