RED DIRT CONCERT SERIES - NOLAN MCKELVEY WITH SPENCER VANDEVIER: SEPTEMBER 11

Our second free Red Dirt Concert Series show of the fall season is Friday, September 11 from 5:00 – 8:00 pm at Posse Grounds Pavilion, located at 525 Posse Ground Rd.

Spencer Vandevier has had music at the center of his life since an early age, evolving from childhood singalongs to a lifelong passion for performing, songwriting, and multi-instrumental musicianship. Drawing from deeply personal experiences, his original songs blend introspective storytelling with a distinctive dark folk and world music influence, creating a sound that is haunting, atmospheric, and deeply personal. Based in Arizona, Spencer’s performances invite listeners into a reflective musical journey.

Nolan McKelvey, for more than three decades, has been one of Arizona's most respected Americana singer-songwriters, blending alt-country, bluegrass, classic country, and rock into a sound that's distinctly his own. His latest album, How Small We Are, has earned critical acclaim and radio play across Europe and Australia, while his songwriting—often inspired by Arizona's people and landscapes—has made him a favorite with audiences throughout the Southwest. Dubbed "Best Musician" and "Flagstaff's Poet Laureate" by FlagLive, Nolan's performances are known for being thoughtful, passionate, and thoroughly entertaining.
Whether performing in an intimate theater or on a festival stage, Nolan brings heartfelt storytelling, seasoned musicianship, and an authentic Arizona voice to every show.

Pack a chair or blanket, bring your friends, and enjoy a great night of free live music under the open sky at the beautiful and iconic Pavilion at Posse Grounds Park.
