COOKSBURG, PA – The Verna Leith Sawmill Theatre will open for the season with live music from two bands: The Charlie Wheeler Band (May 27) and Clurichaun (June 1, 2 and 3). Shows begin at 8 p.m. each night.

The Charlie Wheeler Band is a blues rock trio from Ridgway. The group writes and performs their own music, which they describe as “exuding a toughness that can only be cultivated in the working class environment.” Their lyrics tell stories of life, love and living on the edge, and their music is reminiscent of the Black Crowes and The Allman Brothers.

In stark contrast, Clurichaun plays traditional Celtic music. Enjoy music in the folk tradition of the Celtic people of Ireland and Scotland.

As always, the Sawmill Theatre will also welcome several theater companies, performing musicals and plays this season.
