Milepost Music is bringing live mountain music to Peaks of Otter on July 14 from 2-4 p.m.

The free outdoor concert by The McKenzies will be at milepost 85.6 in Bedford.

Marcia and Woody McKenzie of The McKenzies have been making music together since they were married in 1983.

They have entertained audiences around the world with their unique blend of folk, traditional mountain music and music from the British Isles. The duo’s strong vocals are accompanied by a variety of instruments, including guitar and fiddle.

Milepost Music concerts are held at Peaks of Otter on the second Sunday of each month through September.

Visitors should bring a chair or blanket for seating.

Food and drinks are allowed on site, but alcoholic beverages are not permitted.
