Friday Night Out Concert Series welcomes Gerry Timlin to the outdoor stage on Friday, July 5th on the Henderson Lawn in downtown Blacksburg.

A great favorite in the USA and Canada, this Pennsylvania based singer has enjoyed success all over the world. Gerry Timlin was born in County Tyrone, Northern Ireland, where he developed an early interest in traditional Irish music and in folk music. From the beginning, Gerry displayed a musical talent. He moved to the USA in the early seventies, and has been delighting audiences with his smooth baritone voice and his irreverent humor ever since.

The rain site for all Friday Night Out concerts is in the Old Dominion Ballroom, located on the first floor of the Squires Student Center.

The Summer Arts Festival (a joint effort by Virginia Tech and the Town of Blacksburg) was established in 1991. This Festival is held each summer beginning in June and ending in late August. This year's events will provide New River Valley residents, Tech faculty/staff/students, conference attendees, and tourists with an attractive array of arts and cultural attractions.
