Description:
To Our House and United Way NRV present Shelter Fest 2016 on Saturday, August 27, 2016 at Sinkland Farms in Riner, VA.

The event will be headlined by Holy Ghost Tent Revival with Apple Butter Blues Band and Black Wax Rebellion opening.

Holy Ghost Tent Revival is a six-piece rock & roll band from Asheville, North Carolina, driven by an exhilarating live show that has uplifted audiences since the band formed in 2007. Over the years, they have been honing their unique sound, which NPR describes as that of a “soul-rock horn band that recalls '60s and '70s classic-rock influences such as The Band and The Flying Burrito Brothers, contemporary indie-rock acts like Dr. Dog, and New Orleans brass-band jazz.”

The band has turned what many hail as a deeply personal and evocative group of recordings into a thrilling live performance, the merits of which have led them to share stages with the likes of Dr. Dog, Shovels and Rope, Langhorne Slim & The Law, Pokey LaFarge, Robert Randolph & the Family Band and Lake Street Dive. Holy Ghost Tent Revival's magnetism will continue to grow and mature in the hearts of listeners across the country, from radio dial to lit pavilion.
