Seeing Kevin Bacon perform here was fun. Not a bad seat in the house. I thought the sound systems for the band members when they were speaking were out of whack but for the music it was fine. Would go back again. Fair pricing. Parking a bit of a terror- grab anywhere on any street you can find a spot and expect to walk a few blocks in to the center. Nice, new and modern, sleek design, comfortable, spacious seating. Not a hillbilly hangout, you can expect a more upscale crowd. Safe streets to walk through, friendly staff, convenient to 220. Check out the Bootlegger Cafe across the street for amazing smelling and tasting good before or after.
This venue was one of the best I've been to. The performers were awesome. (Cody Canada and the Departed) the sound was perfect and the seating was great. The volunteers were Friendly and helpful. We had a great time!
The Harvester promotes top quality shows from many styles of musicians. Prices are reasonable; the seating is comfortable & everyone has a good view of the stage. Log onto their website-it's easy to use & you can look for the type of music you enjoy. The staff is helpful & very friendly. I've been to 5 shows so far & can't wait to return. The Bacon Brothers & The Carolina Chocolate Drops have been my favorites so far...
Went to this performance center September 16th. I had never heard of Rocky Mount VA much less theHarvester Performance Center. I understand renovations had been done on the building and I mustsay they have done a very good job. Seats were very comfortable and sound system was great.We also had the opportunity to buy food and drinks. We bought VIP tickets and were given thechance of a meet and greet with the performers Byrne and Kelly from the group Celtic Thunder.The staff of volunteers were so helpful and friendly. Parking was easy. You can park acrossthe street where the farmer's market is or beside the building in a bank parking lot. I wouldhighly recommend going to see anyone in this performance center. It is around 28 milesoutside of Roanoke but the roads are in excellent shape. It is an intimiate venue but well worth thetrip.
This new theater is a great all purpose venue. We attended concerts on two nights and they were great.
This is the perfect fit of music for the Crooked Road. This small venue allows up to around 500 people and is an intimate yet big sound experience. I enjoyed the experience of good Ole country music with Marty Stewart and the Fabulous Superlatives. They were amazing! The feel of the facility is friendly and their is food and drink available. The most difficult thing is parking. There is not a lot in Rocky Mount, so arrive early and park at the Bank, Library or Farmer's Market. Worth visiting!
We drove over 3 hours to see a show here and will do it again. The Performance center is super nice and the sound and accommodations, not to mention the Volunteers are excellent. We were very impressed with the whole experience.
we were 1 of only 2 couples that bought VIP tickets. i won't do that again however, it did save us from having to wait in line. it did give us a complementary drink private photo opps with the band and they took the pic for us then sent them. the only other bad i can see is sometimes long lines wait outside to enter the show which seems unnecessary. the good is EXCELLENT SOUND SYSTEM. no bad seats in the house. the harvester staff do everything in their power to make your experience enjoyable a totally customer focused staff. they have snacks beer and soda. this is a 1st rate facility well run, well staffed. our show was also excellent however the harvester has little control of the performers i think it is unfair to blame them if the performances are short or subpar. if the performers want to be good they have absolutely every component from the harvester to do so. the town of rocky mount is the builder and owner of the harvester I THOUGHT IT WAS A BAD IDEA. the job these guys do has changed my mind GOOD JOB GUYS !!!!!!
We have been to 4 concerts total--very efficient, friendly place to enjoy incredible music! They serve snacky food, serve wine and beer, and have (upon occasion) the most decadent looking cupcakes--we thought people were eating ice cream sundaes! the quality of the performers is getting better and better. At the most recent concert there were issues with the sound system that were IMMEDIATELY taken care of. Just a great, relaxed place to enjoy a musical performance.
I attended a concert of a local bluegrass group here that was very talented and it was the first time I had visited the performance center. When I arrived I was extremely surprised that for the last year I've been missing some of acoustic and bluegrass' best acts performing here ( Lonesome River Band, Sam Bush, etc.). I was even more surprised how great the sound was, and how up close and personal I could get. The concessions were reasonable and I could even have a beer. I'll definitely be coming back and telling my friends about this venue gem.
