From the new Poe Mack CD, “Poe Mack on D.R.U.G.S,” here’s a new video, “Tragedy or Triumph,” featuring the reliably goofy Stevie D. and the bemused-acting Sierra Wofford. And of course, Stevie can’t go without some salty language, so if your children try to watch this, smack them and send them to their rooms.

A country comedian will emcee, an up-and-coming country singer and local band Rutledge have been added to the Blue Ridge Music Festival lineup.

Killer Beaz, who sounds like he would fit right in with his buddys the Blue Collar Comedy guys, will emcee the June 1 event at Salem Football Stadium. Sara Haze, who brings a pop approach to country, has just been added to the June 1 event. And Rutledge, a Roanoke country-rock band that has been impressing audiences in the valley, will play the festival VIP after-party, inside Salem Civic Center.

Those acts will join previously announced performers Little Big Town, Hunter Hayes, Charles Esten (he plays Deacon Claybourne on the ABC TV show “Nashville”) Colt Ford, Gloriana, Greg Bates, Will Hoge and The Skip Castro Band.

General admission and reserved seating $40 ($50.80 including online fees) and VIP tickets $99.50 ($110.75 including online fees) are on sale at Salem Civic Center box office, Ticketmaster locations including ticketmaster.com and via 800-745-3000.

Rutledge performing last year at Festival in the Park, at Elmwood Park. This year, the event has an altered name and a temporaroy location | facebook.com/thebandrutledge

Micah Davidson

Micah Davidson, a bassist-turned-music-booking-agent, is a big part of the NC Brewers and Music Festival, scheduled for Saturday near Charlotte, N.C. Get show details at Top Tickets.

The Roanoke native talks on this podcast about how he went from being a player in such bands as Dead End Parking to booking bands. It’s a cool story, and it shows that there are more ways than one for a musician to make a living in the life he or she loves.

Plus, we’ll stream music from Davidson’s music life with members of Dead End Parking. “You’ll Never Know” is a song that Davidson says the band learned the night before it was recorded. “Seven Sons” features all the original members of Dead End Parking. Both songs appear on former DEP frontman Nathan Carter’s CD, “Mercy Tree.”
