Chautauqua: (pronounced sha tauk’ wa)… of Seneca Indian origin; a name of a place, variously represented as titles in early (chiefly French) writings and maps… literal meaning = “one has take out fish there…” … which may account for the relationship to Lake Chautauqua in southwestern New York. Chautauqua, NY Is the site of the educational assembly started in 1874 and is still in existence today. In the late 19th century, the Chautauqua movement became a popular form of adult education and entertainment in the United Sates. Using noted lyceum speakers (such as Teddy Roosevelt and William Jennings Bryan) and local talent, the movement literally spread throughout the country, traveling in caravans and setting up their tent performances in towns with primary access to the railroad. In the 1920’s; Wytheville, VA was a stop on the Chautauqua circuit, reportedly known as the “Redpath Circuit” which ran perpendicular to the “White & Meyer Circuit” that crossed the rural Midwestern United States, where Chautauqua was particularly popular. The Chautauqua lectures, musical feathers, dramatic arts and children’s activities rose in popularity during the 1920’s, followed by its demise, brought on by the Great Depression and the rise of the film industry. In 1985, the Chautauqua Festival was rejuvenated in the southwest VA community of Wytheville, and has been a source of entertainment, enjoyment and education again over the past twenty eight years.

With a wide variety of personal influences ranging from traditional country and bluegrass to rock and roll and blues, Stapleton has had a diverse singing career since his arrival in Nashville that includes stints as lead vocalist for GRAMMY nominated bluegrass band The Steel Drivers and lead vocalist in the howling rock and roll band The Jompson Brothers. In Stapleton's own words he describes "my life has been one tucked neatly in the liner notes of other people's albums as a writer, musician or band member…until now." The lead single "What Are You Listening To” off his debut Mercury Records album was produced by Tony Brown and is currently spinning on country radio.

With an unaffected take on vital American music and a voice that channels the spirit of Little Richard and James Brown - JD McPherson presents traditional Rhythm & Blues and Rock N’ Roll with fresh, exciting songwriting. Not to risk inadvertent oversights, the Wythe Arts Council wishes to express sincere thanks to all who contributed toward the success of Chautauqua Festival-in-the-Park. We know that this festival would not be possible without countless volunteer hours. It is estimated that approximately 1,000 volunteers support the activities leading up to and carried throughout the festival. Thanks, as well, are due for the unending gifts-in-kind. These types of gifts are abundant in quantity, invaluable in quality, and often so behind-the-scenes that they can be overlooked. They never seem to be motivated by recognition, yet without them, the show could never go on! Finally, we dedicate this endeavor to our local and visiting festival-goers. Enjoy the 30th annual Chautauqua Festival!!
