How to Find Upcoming Concerts and Events for The Cockman Family
Updated
The Cockman Family posts its upcoming appearances directly on cockmanfamily.com, and the event listings include the date, venue name, street address, start and end times, and sometimes a contact name and phone number. The site currently shows events running from September through November 2026, so it is the primary place to check for the band's schedule. If you want more than the handful of dates shown on the homepage, the site also links to a fuller events page ("Click Here for More Events...").
What the event listings tell you
Each entry on the site follows a consistent format, so you can scan quickly for the details you need:
- Date – listed first, e.g., September 26, 2026
- Venue and city – e.g., Murray's Mill Harvest Festival, Catawba, NC
- Full street address – e.g., 1489 Murrays Mill Rd, Catawba, NC 28609
- Time window – e.g., 10 AM until 5 PM, or 3:00 pm – 5:00 pm
- Occasional contact info – for example, the November 8 event lists Rick Ramseur at 980-241-0514
Some listings go further and include a full performance schedule for the day, which matters if you are going specifically to see the Cockman Family rather than the whole lineup.
Events currently listed on the site
| Date | Event / Venue | Location | Time |
|---|---|---|---|
| September 26, 2026 | Murray's Mill Harvest Festival | 1489 Murrays Mill Rd, Catawba, NC 28609 | 10 AM – 5 PM |
| September 27, 2026 | Murray's Mill Harvest Festival (Gospel day) | 1489 Murrays Mill Rd, Catawba, NC 28609 | Afternoon, from 1 PM |

| October 24, 2026 | Hart Square Village | 5055 Hope Road, Vale, NC 28168 | 10:00 am – 4:00 pm |

Reading the multi-band festival listings carefully
The Murray's Mill Harvest Festival entries are the ones most likely to trip you up, because the Cockman Family is one act among several. On September 26, the porch schedule runs:
- 10 AM – Students of the Cockman Brothers
- 11 AM – The Catawba River Bluegrass Band
- 12 Noon – The Cockman Family Bluegrass Band
- 1 PM – GV Bluegrass Band (Gospel Voices)
- 2 PM – Willow Creek Bluegrass Band
- 3 PM – Terrapin Creek Bluegrass Band
- 4 PM – The Sigmon Stringers Bluegrass Band
So if you are going for the Cockman Family specifically, plan to be there around noon on September 26. The site also notes that the student performance may begin 30 to 45 minutes earlier than 10 o'clock due to the large number of students, so arriving early is worthwhile if that part of the day matters to you.
September 27 is the gospel day at the same festival, with the Cockman Family Gospel Band listed at 2 PM.
Events that need extra steps
Two listings require action beyond just showing up:
- Hart Square Village (October 24) – the site states that tickets are on sale through the website, and provides a separate link (hartsquare.com), an email ([email protected]), and a phone number (828) 222-3727. You would need to buy tickets through Hart Square rather than through the band's site.
- Lincoln Cultural Center (November 8) – this is described as a Sunday afternoon Gospel and Bluegrass Concert featuring the Cockman Family Band plus special guests, their grandchildren. Cost and other information are listed as forthcoming, with Rick Ramseur (980-241-0514) as the contact. If you need ticket or pricing details before then, that phone number is the route the site gives you.
Checking for updates
Because the listings on the site cover a fixed window and some details (like the November 8 cost) are still marked "forthcoming," the practical approach is:
- Open cockmanfamily.com and scan the event entries for dates and venues.
- Use the "Click Here for More Events..." link to see whether additional dates have been added beyond those on the homepage.
- For ticketed or venue-run events, follow the external link or contact provided in that specific listing rather than assuming the band's site handles admission.
- For events with a named contact, call that number if the listing is missing information you need.
The site does not indicate that events are ticketed through the band's own checkout for the festival and church dates; the checkout link on the site is associated with the recordings section, where CDs are sold. Treat ticket questions as venue-specific unless the listing says otherwise.
