Cowboy Junkies to play two sets at Lyric show tonight
There's been a change in tonight's Cowboy Junkies show at the Lyric Theatre in Blacksburg. Opening act Lee Harvey Osmond is unable to perform, so the Junkies will play two sets instead of one.
"The show should be fantastic, with a double dose of Cowboy Junkies and fans will not be disappointed," show coordinator Elizabeth Crone wrote in a message about the change.
Doors will still open at 7:30 p.m., with the show at 8:30 p.m.
Crone also noted "the lobby will have a table with Cowboy Junkies merchandise and there will be a cash bar with wine and beer available. Margo Timmins will come out to visit and sign autographs at the end of the evening."
