Reece Farm presents Struck By Lighting 2, Saturday June 1, 2024 1-3pm at the pavilion. Bring Your Lawn Chairs! Originating as a trio in the fall of 2020, Struck by Lightning was no more than a few old guys that thought getting together to perform at a local open mic night might be fun to do. A one and done sorta thing. The credit for the name goes to the original founder and lead singer of the group at the time, Mr. Brent Michael “Always in the Right” Key. With Brent handling much of the vocals and acoustic guitar, drummer/percussionist/guitarist Bill Wilson handled the harmony vocals and Brent’s longtime friend and keyboardist, “The Italian Cowboy” Steve ‘O Fineo formed a successful sound all their own. They quickly began booking multiple venues throughout Young Harris, and Hiawassee, GA, as well as Murphy and Andrews, NC during their first 1 ½ years together. When Brent decided to step down from the group to pursue other endeavors in Aug of 2022, Steve O’ and Bill decided to carry on with the Struck by Lightning name as a duo Musical Group and became known as Struck by Lightning 2. Bill moved into the lead singer roll and began playing the acoustic guitar full time, while Steve’O continued to explore his creativity with the addition of a second keyboard and supplying the vocal harmonies. In doing so, they have more than doubled their song library to include multiple types of genres including a vast variety of toe-tapin’, sing-along country, line-dance, pop, rock & easy listening favorites from as far back as the 1950s to present day. They can also be found dedicating their time to faith based Christian contemporary music venues, as well. In addition to performing at the local pubs and wineries in the surrounding area, they also perform at various benefits & festivals, and love to provide their musical entertainment for private parties. You can contact and follow them and their scheduled events on Facebook at: STRUCKBYLIGHTNING 2 Bring your lawn chairs to the pavilion to enjoy two hours of music!
