The Natchez Festival of Music welcomes Natchez country musician Gabriel Bass to the stage for its Rockin' on the River series on Wednesday, May 8.

Blues, Rock and Roll, great drinks, and a fabulous Mississippi sunset come together for the Natchez Festival of Music's Rockin' on the River series. Come enjoy live music performed by Natchez-area musicians high above the Mississippi River.

May 8's show will feature Natchez local Gabriel Bass. Bass's love for music started with watching his grandfather play piano and sing weekly during church services. He started playing the guitar at age 25, making a name for himself as a country musician at local honk tonks. In 2017, he recorded and released an album called "Fools Paradise," which features many local artists, including Richard Burke, Mark Richardson, Chris Kenney, Taylor Spring, Amanda Fulton, Jason Gore, Ben Lewis, Burne Sharp, Kristopher Douglas, and others. He specializes in playing the songs of Sam Cooke, George Jones, Lead Belly, Dr Hook, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Chris Stapleton, and Dion, as well as songs of his own.

The show will run from 6:30 pm to 9:30 pm at Natchez Architectural and Art Discoveries, 515 Main St.. Everyone under 21 years of age must be accompanied by an adult.
