Scorpion Percussion Artists Rock The Mountains 2026
Scorpion Percussion is heading into a big weekend at Rock The Mountains 2026, with five Scorpion artists performing across all three days of the festival in Cumberland, Maryland.
Taking place August 20–23 at the Allegany County Fairgrounds, Rock The Mountains brings together national touring acts, rising bands, and regional talent across multiple stages. For Scorpion, this year’s lineup is especially exciting because our artists are represented throughout the weekend—from Friday night all the way through Sunday evening.
Here’s where you can catch them.
Friday, August 21

TJ Taylor — SOiL
Queen City Armory Stage — 9:05 PM to 9:55 PM
Also performing Friday night is TJ Taylor with SOiL.
TJ has been part of the Scorpion family while continuing to perform at a high level with one of the most established names in hard rock. SOiL’s appearance at Rock The Mountains adds another major Scorpion presence to Friday’s lineup.
With both Saliva and SOiL performing during the festival’s prime evening hours, Friday is going to be a strong night for Scorpion Percussion.
Saturday, August 22

Sammi Jo Bishop — Saliva
Queen City Armory Stage — 9:05 PM to 9:55 PM
Sammi Jo Bishop will be behind the kit with Saliva on Friday night. As a Scorpion Immortal Artist, Sammi Jo represents the highest level of the Scorpion artist family while bringing power, consistency, and energy to one of rock’s most recognizable touring bands.
Saliva closes out the Queen City Armory Stage on Friday night, making this one of the biggest Scorpion performances of the weekend.

Jake Denham — Motorcycle Drive-By
Queen City Armory Stage — 7:30 PM to 8:10 PM
Saturday evening kicks into gear with Jake Denham and Motorcycle Drive-By.
Jake brings a hard-hitting live style to the stage and continues to represent Scorpion as both a drummer and performer. Their 7:30 PM set lands right in the middle of Saturday night’s strongest run of bands.
Jonny Ross — Small Town Titans
Cumberland Moose Stage — 8:15 PM to 9:00 PM
Immediately after Jake’s set, Scorpion fans can head over to the Cumberland Moose Stage to catch Jonny Ross with Small Town Titans.
Jonny has been a longtime Scorpion Signature Artist and a major part of the Small Town Titans sound from the beginning. Known for their massive live energy and powerful musicianship, Small Town Titans have built a strong national following, and their Saturday night slot should be one of the highlights of the weekend.
For anyone wanting to catch Scorpion artists back-to-back, Saturday provides the perfect opportunity.
Sunday, August 23

Jon Hopkins — Cody Parks & The Dirty South
Cumberland Moose Stage — 8:15 PM to 9:00 PM
Scorpion’s Rock The Mountains weekend continues into Sunday night with Jon Hopkins behind the kit for Cody Parks & The Dirty South.
Jon is also one of the newest additions to the Scorpion Signature Artist roster, and fans who attended the Music City Drum Show in Nashville, Tennessee last month may have already had the chance to meet him when he stopped by and made an appearance at the Scorpion Percussion booth.
Now, just a month later, Jon will be representing Scorpion from the stage at Rock The Mountains.
Blending country, rock, and heavy southern influence, Cody Parks & The Dirty South have carved out a unique place in the modern rock and country scene. Jon brings the foundation behind that live sound and gives Scorpion one more major evening performance before the festival wraps up.
Five Artists. Five Bands. Three Days.
This weekend is a strong representation of what the Scorpion artist family is all about.
Different bands. Different styles. Different stages.
But all five drummers share the same commitment to their craft, their live performance, and the gear they trust behind the kit. If you’re heading to Cumberland this weekend, make sure you get out early, move between both stages, and support these incredible artists.
We’re proud to have each of them representing Scorpion Percussion.
Become Immortal.
