The Music by the Lake concert series at Blue Ridge Community College will kick off from 5 to 7 p.m. Sunday, June 16. This first concert of the season will feature Jacob Johnson.

Admission is free and the public is invited to bring a picnic and lawn chairs to enjoy an evening of music with friends and family beside the college lake. In the event of inclement weather, the concert will take place in the Thomas Auditorium in the Sink Building.
Johnson is a young, energetic performer and South Carolina native who has shared stages with songwriting masters from Edwin McCain to David Wilcox, and hangs out with guitar heroes like Tommy Emmanuel and Tim Reynolds (right-hand man to Dave Matthews). While it's his flashy guitar pyrotechnics that might grab attention, his songwriting, personality, and performance style are what set him apart from the rest of the pack of other young guitar-slingers.
Music by the Lake will continue Aug. 25 with The Honeycutters.
