Seneca • 7:30 p.m.
Rooted in the hills of West Virginia, blending storytelling soul with the energy of the modern Americana rock and country scene, Seneca was formed in 2023 by WVU students and includes vocalist Andrew Parsons, guitarist Dylan Hunt, drummer Chris Little, bassist Jared Longmore and pianist Graham Sterling. The young band broke onto the Morgantown music scene with their electric performances that shut down streets and filled up venues. Building off the quickly growing crowds — and with the release of energetic, raw, original music — opportunities to play bigger shows and prove themselves on larger stages soon followed. From small-town bars to Nashville lights, their journey has taken them across West Virginia and onto some truly esteemed stages. Seneca’s music moves like a drive down West Virginia’s mountain roads — rooted, dynamic and impossible to forget. More at instagram.com/thebandseneca
