Canton's Waydown Wailers opening for Lady Antebellum in Watertown Friday night

WATERTOWN -- Canton’s Waydown Wailers will open for Friday night’s Lady Antebellum concert. The show begins at 7 p.m. at the Watertown Fairgrounds.

Limited reserved tickets are available by calling 782-0044. General admission tickets are available for $68 each and may be purchased at a local Kinney Drugs store, online at DPAO.ORG or in person at the DPAO offices, 617 Davidson St. in Watertown.

Waydown Wailers is a band that is “on top of the innovative music scene now pouring from a cool North American spigot,” according to an announcement from Disabled Persons Action Organization (DPAO), who hosts the event.

“Streaming like a refreshing blast of harmony over a burnout music wary countryside, The Waydown Wailers are boldly original, tunefully deep and forever lingering,” the announcement reads.

The band features brothers Dave (guitar/lead vocals) and Christian Parker (lead guitar), Michael Scriminger (drums/percussion) and Connor Pelkey (bass backing vocals).

“Four guys carving individual niches into every nook and cranny of the North American music landscape and collectively producing a dazzling band even stronger than the sum of its harmonies,” DPAO said.

Waydown Wailers recently cut their second LP, “State of the Union,” on Woodstock Records. It is available at woodsstockrecords.com, Amazon.com, iTunes, Rhapsody, eMusic, Google Music, streaming; iHeartRadio, Spotify, Xbox Music, YouTube and SoundCloud.

The band has opened for other well-known acts, including jam-rock legends New Riders of the Purple Sage, which started as a Grateful Dead side project in the 1969.
