Music, friendship, and the beach

The event spans four days and nights, or five for guests who attend the DTH Wine Down on Sunday, June 6, from 3:00 PM to 7:00 PM. During the gathering, attendees can relax by the shore, swim in the ocean, take in the beauty of OBX, and spend time with the musicians.

Guests can hear intimate performances from some of the country’s top artists while settling into beach chairs with coolers nearby. Shows are scheduled throughout the day so that no two performances overlap. Musicians may collaborate with their toes in the sand, contributing to an easygoing environment where creativity can develop.

The program ranges from full-scale evening rock performances to songwriter-in-the-round sets and impromptu collaborations among friends.

DTH Wine Down

The DTH Wine Down offers an additional day for those who want to remain at the event. Described as a relaxed, VIP-style afterparty at Pat's house, the experience includes guests’ drink-of-choice and hors d'oeuvres prepared by Pat and his team. It is intended as an intimate gathering for DTHers, with breathtaking views and acoustic music.

The source page includes two statements attributed to McGee. Together, they emphasize the event’s intimate connection between fans and musicians, the longstanding friendships among participating artists, mutual support, a home-like atmosphere, and the relaxed character of the DTH Wine Down. The attributed speaker is McGee.
