Mercy Creek live at Lake Anna Taphouse
Program Details & Spotlights
Nationally touring folk-rock duo Mercy Creek brings their unique aggressive folk sound to the Lake Front Stage. Enjoy an acoustic drum-and-guitar set perfect for a warm summer evening on the lake. Grab a pizza or some appetizers and sit out under the market lights.
Warm lake breezes, a cold Virginia craft brew, and the soulful, rhythmic pulse of live music drifting across the water—this is what Lake Anna summers are all about. The Lake Anna Taphouse is hosting one of the most exciting acts to hit the Lake Front Stage this season. The nationally touring folk-rock duo, Mercy Creek, is bringing their signature "aggressive folk" sound to Mineral, VA. It is the absolute perfect soundtrack for transitioning from a sun-drenched day on the boat to a relaxed, memory-making evening by the water.
Mercy Creek isn't your standard acoustic campfire act. Combining singer-songwriter Kerry Siggins' expressive vocals and driving acoustic guitar with Jim Siggins' inventive, energetic drumming, this duo creates a surprisingly rich and robust wall of sound. They call it aggressive folk, but you'll call it infectious. Their unique performance style blends folk melodies with a rock-and-roll heartbeat, making it easy to lean back and listen intently or tap your feet with a drink in hand under the glowing market lights.
If you haven't been to the Lake Anna Taphouse yet, this event is the ultimate excuse to check it out. Situated right on the water, the Taphouse features an incredible self-serve tap wall with a rotating selection of craft beers, ciders, and wines, allowing you to sample local Virginia favorites at your own pace. Pair your pour with one of their delicious flatbread pizzas or savory appetizers, and grab a seat on the spacious outdoor patio. As the sun begins to set over the lake and the string lights flicker on, the atmosphere becomes truly unmatched.

- Arriving by Water: If you are spending the day on the lake, plan your boat route to dock nearby, or head back to your rental to freshen up—there is plenty of land parking available, but boat slips fill up early!
- Explore the Self-Serve Wall: Don't just stick to what you know. Take advantage of the pay-by-the-ounce tap wall to try small pours of several different Virginia brews before committing to a full glass.
- Bring a Light Layer: While the Virginia summer days are hot, the breeze off Lake Anna can cool things down quickly once the sun goes down. A light jacket or long-sleeve shirt will keep you cozy through the end of the set.
