😦 It's The Last Day of The Season 😧⁠
⁠
This Saturday (9/2) is the last day of the season @ The Boathouse! We have had such an amazing season with you all and want to end it with a bang!⁠
⁠
We're renting kayaks, canoes, and SUPs until 6 PM. Stick around for Jam at the Dam Saturday night!

🎵Nathan Dowdy & The Hwy🎵⁠
Catch the last Jam at the Dam of the Season with The Hwy!⁠
⁠
Brought together in Charlotte NC, The Hwy is a two-piece Americana rock duo, backed by a strong rhythm section, blending the strong stylistic approaches of Jordan Minor and Nathan Dowdy(). They hail from different sides of the musical spectrum, but trace common roots in old-time rock-n-roll and bluegrass. Together they bring forward an energetic, dynamic, yet tender expression, and strive to make music the way they do life: no-holds-barred, honest, passionate, and wild.⁠
⁠
There's a certain feeling that accompanies a rare few specific situations. It's the feeling of driving on a remote highway as the sun dips below the mountains, with the cooling desert wind blowing past your outstretched arm... It feels a lot like flying. You get the same feeling when listening to The Hwy play: that same thrill of pure adrenaline, adventure, and pure, unfiltered life. ⁠
⁠
The Hwy() plays original and cover/requested songs featuring rich harmony, dynamic musicality, and pop sensibility, and their live performance is a fun, high-energy show with an emphasis on crowd engagement. (For fans of The Eagles, Crosby Stills Nash and Young, Simon and Garfunkel, and The Head and the Heart). ⁠
