A Rock Show Retelling of the Bloody Legend of America's Favorite Axe-weilding Double-Murderess and Victorian Hometown Girl, Lizzie Borden
In the heat of late summer 1892, Andrew Borden and his wife are found murdered in their house. The main suspect in the murders is Andrew’s youngest daughter from a previous marriage, Lizzie Borden. Using a searing rock score, and based on the historical record, LIZZIE explores the heady and heated days leading up to the murder and Lizzie’s controversial acquittal of all charges and the creation of a new American myth.

It’s summertime, so do you know what that means? Free Summer Concerts at the Jones House! Come on out to the Jones House lawn this evening for some great music! This evening, two amazing bands will be showcased.

Danny Platt, a Boone-based musician, mixes folk music and punk music seamlessly for a unique take on the music we all know and love here in the mountains of North Carolina. Ending the evening, the Loose Roosters will be showcased. Blending Appalachian sensibilities with a modern Americana sound, Loose Roosters have been a hit all throughout the High Country.

So, grab a blanket or lawn chair, pack a picnic, and come enjoy! Remember, you are welcome to drink a beer on the Jones House lawn, however, you can only have your open container on the Jones House property!
