Come experience an unforgettable evening of timeless, horn-heavy Classic Rock hits from Chicago, Earth, Wind, and Fire, The Doobie Brothers, Foreigner, STYX, REO Speedwagon, Peter Frampton, and more! 

Featuring Keith Howland and Jeff Coffey, both former members of the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame band Chicago. Howland holds the distinction of being the longest-tenured guitarist in the band’s history, performing with Chicago for 27 years. Coffey, a powerhouse bassist and tenor vocalist, stepped into the role in 2016, bringing his signature range and energy to the iconic catalog.

Rounding out this all-star lineup is Rob Arthur (Peter Frampton) on keys/vocals, Ed Toth (The Doobie Brothers) on drums, and a blazing three-piece horn section - together forming The Players, delivering a world-class live experience that captures the spirit, energy, and youthful fire of these legendary artists at the height of their powers.

As actual members of Chicago, The Doobie Brothers, and Peter Frampton’s band, and having performed in large-scale co-headlining productions and joint encores with artists such as Earth, Wind & Fire and REO Speedwagon, the band brings this music to life from the inside out - drawing on real-world experiences performing it in front of audiences around the globe … and adding a few surprises along the way.

And just to be clear - this is not a tribute band.

This is the real deal: musicians who lived this music, bringing it back to the stage with authenticity, fire, and the level of musicianship audiences expect from artists of this caliber.

2026 Harvest Feast

This September, the Millwald Theatre and the Wytheville FarmersMarket will come together for a one-of-a-kind evening celebrating local food, music, and community under the light of the Full Harvest Moon.

The Harvest Feast will unfold across our two neighboring spaces, from the Farmers Market pavilion straight through the Millwald’s loading dock, creating one shared gathering place for the evening.

Beginning at 5 PM, guests can shop Farmers Market vendor tables, meet local growers and makers, and enjoy live music before sitting down together for a family-style harvest dinner. The menu, created with Farmers Market vendors and a local caterer, will showcase ingredients and products from our region.

At its heart, Harvest Feast is about what happens whenneighbors work together: two community organizations and one shared table.

Proceeds benefit both the Millwald Theatre and the Wytheville Farmers Market, supporting the work each organization does to keep downtown Wytheville vibrant and connected.

*Menu will feature fried chicken, quail, and meatballs alongside fresh-baked bread, mashed potatoes, green beans, sweet corn, and squash and zucchini. The meal rounds out with a taste of fall, including apple pie and pumpkin roll for dessert.

For more than 20 years, BlackHawk has shared a unique sense of harmony with their voices, their songs and their fans. It’s a harmony that has sold over 7 million albums, scored some of the most distinctive country radio hits of the ‘90s, and still draws tens of thousands of fans to their electrifying live performances. Today BlackHawk continues to honor its past as it forges its future, and does it all with a commitment that takes their music – and the harmony – to a whole new level.

For the fans, for the music and for the brotherhood of Henry and Dave, harmony remains a powerful force. BlackHawk continues to record new music – including their well-received 2015 Brothers Of The Southland album, a forthcoming Christmas record and an acoustic greatest hits album – and deliver stellar live shows, backed by an all-star band of veteran country and southern rock players. “BlackHawk has a 20-year history of a certain kind of song craft as well as a quality of performance,” Henry says with pride. “People have always come to our shows expecting a concert that is emotionally and musically engaging, and the band still sounds even better than the records, night after night, show after show. When we take the stage, we work as hard as we ever have. We owe it the music, we owe it to ourselves, and Van, and we owe it to the fans. Now more than ever, that’s the true legacy of BlackHawk.”
