The Homestead – Music on the Mountain – Kyle Jennings – July 17, 2014

American singer/songwriter Kyle Jennings arrived on the music scene in 2004 when his album “Shine” was released with Dark Horse Records in Nashville. Out of the box, Jennings’ music made an aggressive first impression likely due to cross-genre rock influences of his early youth, such as Journey, Bon Jovi, Bruce Springsteen, and Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers. A gritty mix of Americana, Rock, Country, and Blues marble Jennings’ musical style.

Tickets: $15 in advance; $20 at the event. Special ticket packages also available: $39 for your choice of 3 or $55 for all 5 Music on the Mountain concerts.

Call 231.334.5100 to reserve.

Transportation to the top of Bay Mountain begins at 6 p.m.

In the event of inclement weather, concerts will be held inside Mountain Flowers Lodge.

Good friends, a great view, and some incredible live music await you during The Homestead’s 2014 Music on the Mountain Summer Concert Series.

The trail that leads from the corner of Norconk Road into the woods is about ½ mile long through the maple-beech forest and will take you to the Treat Farm. As you reach the top of the hill, the canopy of trees opens up to a view of the farmstead. A portion of the original barn has been rebuilt on the original foundation.
