At 6 p.m., local favorite Joyner Young & Marie, opens the event with Top 40s rock 'n' roll. At 8 p.m., Night Train, a nationally touring Guns N' Roses tribute band, takes the stage. Joyner Young & Marie have been performing in the Fayetteville area for over 30 years. e current lineup in- cludes drummer Allen Diffee, and on bass, Gil Howel, who recently joined. Lead vocalist Marie Grimsley men- tioned, "We look forward to Rock'n On e River every year. e crowd always has a good time." Piano player Bill Joyner and Danny Young on the guitar round out the group with one of the best vocal oriented rock 'n' roll bands in Fayetteville. e cover song "Wicked Game" by Chris Isaak is deceptively hard, but Joyner Young & Marie nails it while the audience dances. It has even been said that when Marie sings the cover, "Lie To Me" it rivals the original art- ist, Jonny Lang. For long time fans of Joyner Young & Marie, Bill Joyner says, "Adding Gil Howel on bass has really changed our sound. If you haven't heard us in the last two months, you really need to check us out." Night Train has been taking the U.S. by storm for years as a tribute band to Guns N' Roses. ey have previously performed at the House of Blues and Carolina Rebellion. As a fixture of classic rock, Night Train brings an ac- curacy and vibrant stage presence to the Guns N' Roses performance that is always a crowd pleaser. e trib- ute band performers call themselves Slash, Axl and Izzy and even dress like the original performers. From the drop of the first beat, down to the last note, Night Train's high energy showmanship, and top hat, will surely captivate the audience, inspire new generations, and impress longtime Guns N' Roses faithful fans. Rock'n On e River is organized by Greg Adair to provide family friendly entertainment outside. "It's still rock and roll music, but it's nothing offen- sive," he said.
