Below is the full schedule of the Gravel Day music performances at Snow Fork Event Center in Nelsonville, Ohio, along with a look at each artist or band taking the stage!

Hocking River Duo is led by Douglas McArthur, an American singer/songwriter from Hocking County in southeast Ohio. Founding frontman and banjo player for Hocking River String Band, Douglas has been honing his song sharing skills in front of a live audience for well over a decade in the Ohio valley. Veteran of three studio albums full of original bluegrass songs, and hundreds of shows and festivals, Douglas McArthur loves nothing more than getting a crowd tapping along to a down-home country song. Get ready for country-fried versions of fan-favorite Hocking River String Band songs and old radio hits that may have you ready to explore the local Honky Tonk for their next show.

Douglas played at the Friday Night Community Gathering in 2024 and is a 6-Year Pelotonia participant. For Gravel Day 2025, he is also riding the 25-mile gravel route on Saturday!   

 

Maria Carrelli hails from Ludlow, Kentucky, blending Appalachian bluegrass with traditional country. Her debut solo record moves between lively, foot-tapping tunes and heartfelt ballads. With years of touring in folk and bluegrass groups, she brings seasoned musicianship and lyrical depth. Influenced by legends like Loretta Lynn and modern voices like Kacey Musgraves, Carrelli is a fresh force in today’s country and bluegrass. 

  

Jeremy Short, named one of the top 30 blues guitarists at the International Blues Challenge, pairs soulful grit with smooth vocals and calls his sound “Appalachian Space Funk,” a genre-bending blend of blues, funk, and Southern soul. With a vibrant stage presence that has lit up festivals like Bonnaroo, FloydFest, and Healing Appalachia, he has also shared stages with artists including Wynonna Judd, Ben Folds, Sierra Hull, and Taj Mahal. 

 

Buffalo Wabs & The Price Hill Hustle are from Cincinnati, Ohio, crafting a sound that blends the timeless spirit of traditional Americana with the energy of modern rock and folk. Known for their range, the band moves effortlessly from high-energy, foot-stomping numbers to harmony-rich ballads, and their travels from Colorado to the hills of Asheville and upstate New York have brought their genuine, homegrown performances to both grand stages and humble taverns. 

 

Corduroy Brown is a feel-good Appalachian rock band from Huntington, West Virginia, blending the nostalgic sounds of the '1990s and 2000s with their own regional flair. With singalong hooks, high-energy performances, and a spirit rooted in positivity, their music has been described as “a sound that makes you feel like everything is going to be ok.”
