Live Music in a Historic Venue
The Beacon Theatre
The Beacon Theatre is Hopewell’s crown jewel. This historic music venue was built in the 1920’s and continues to offer memorable concert experiences to visitors a century later. World-class acts, such as Graham Nash, The Byrds, and The Old Dominion Barn Dance have recently graced the stage at The Beacon. Located in downtown Hopewell, the Beacon is convenient to a host of lodging and dining options. Come for a show (or two) and make a day or weekend trip out of it.

The Young Dubliners (sometimes shortened to the Young Dubs or just The Dubs) is an Irish-American rock band formed in Santa Monica, California in 1988. Lead singer and rhythm guitarist Keith Roberts has remained the only constant member of the band. The other current members include violinist Chas Waltz, drummer David Ingraham, guitarist Justin Pecot, and bassist Ethan Jones. They describe their music as “original rock compositions and Irish folk songs with a rock twist” and their stated influences include Thin Lizzy, The Pogues, The Waterboys, Big Country, and U2. AllMusic states, “their sound defies categorization” and describes them as “Ireland’s answer to Los Lobos, with a similar combination of traditional folk music, raucous electric rock, and forward-thinking experimentation”.
