A Pahrump-based music shop is set to host an event that will entertain locals and visitors to Nye County.

Foxter Music, in celebration of its third year in business in Pahrump, will host an event that will include live entertainment, barbecue and a raffle, along with other offerings at its 141 S. Frontage Road store. The venue will run from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Saturday with co-host Cricket Wireless, a neighboring store.

“We’ve had such great, hard-working students,” said Gary Fox, owner of Foxter Music. “Parents have been excellent supporting the store.”

Fox continued: “We’ve met so many fantastic people in Pahrump,” he said. “We’re so thankful for all the support the town has given us.”

About the event

The event will feature several of Foxter’s students playing live for locals and others. The live music portion of the event will include violin, keyboard, voice and guitar student players.

Fox will also be playing guitar with his recently formed band, Pop Aggression, with bandmates Diane Jackson (vocals), Gary Kurtz (bass) and Chip McAneney (drums).

Fox said he and the band are in the process of recording an album.

Fox also has another band, Incognito.

Cricket will be hosting a free barbecue and have snow cones, along with offering discount activation and accessories. The event will also include drawing prizes and a raffle.

Fox said he is going to raffle off an acoustic guitar at the event.
