MARTINSVILLE, Va. (Aug. 18, 2025) — Saddle up for some rootin’, tootin’ fun at Savory September: Wild, Wild West from 6:30-9:30 p.m., Friday, Sept. 26, at Piedmont Arts.
This Wild West-themed fundraiser for Piedmont Arts will feature themed dishes and custom cocktails prepared by a stable of local chefs, including:
Guests can kick up their boot heels to live music by country and western artist Matt Boswell. Boswell is from Southern Virginia, where he grew up playing bluegrass and traditional country with his family. He is an accomplished singer-songwriter, and plays the banjo, mandolin and bass. He has shared the stage with artists such as Brad Paisley, Blake Shelton, Montgomery Gentry, Dwight Yoakam and Terri Clark. His latest release, “The Way I Am,” connects traditional and contemporary country music and features everything from heartfelt ballads to barnburning country anthems.
The event will also offer guests the chance to test their grit with Wild West-themed games and a 50/50 raffle. The winner of the raffle will split the pot with Piedmont Arts. Raffle tickets are $20 each or $100 for six. Raffle tickets are available at Piedmont Arts and online here.
The suggested attire for the event is Western flair and guests are encouraged to incorporate denim, fringe, rhinestones, and of course cowboy boots and hats, into their outfits.
Admission tickets are $50 per person and include food and drinks. Tickets are on sale now at Piedmont Arts and here.
