Roanoke, Va.’s new, premier venue, The Exchange Music Hall, located at 201 S. Jefferson Street, welcomes Appalachian country-rock vanguard 49 Winchester on Thursday, February 18, 2027, for a special stop on the band's Change of Plans Tour. Nicholas Jamerson (duo) opens the show. 

49 Winchester has steadily built a reputation as one of the most compelling acts in modern country music, rising from their humble beginnings in Castlewood, Va., to selling out venues and earning a devoted international following. Formed by childhood friends Isaac Gibson and Chase Chafin, the band has spent years honing a sound rooted in Appalachian storytelling, blending country, rock and folk influences into something distinctly their own. That relentless work ethic and commitment to authenticity have propelled them from front-porch jam sessions to major stages around the world — including winning Across-the-Way Productions' celebrated On-the-Rise Competition at FloydFest 21~Odyssey (2021) — marking them as a band whose breakthrough has been hard-earned and long overdue.

The band's latest album, Change of Plans, represents a defining moment in that journey. Recorded in just eight days with Grammy-winning producer Dave Cobb, the record captures the band at a creative peak — seasoned, self-assured and unafraid to push their sound further than ever before. Balancing grit with refinement, the album reflects both personal growth and artistic evolution, weaving together themes of change, maturity and perseverance. From high-octane, genre-blurring tracks to deeply introspective songwriting, Change of Plans showcases a band stepping fully into its moment while staying true to the roots that got them there.
