Description:
Watch The Chinquapin Hunters and Eight Point Star in concert on Friday, November 16, 2018 at the Odd Fellows Building in Blacksburg, VA.

The Chinquapin Hunters are hungry for new Appalachian recipes built on the Americana staples of Old Time music and Jazz, they mix up new flavors and old favorites in clear spring water that flows to the center of time.

This new mountain feast includes members from several NRV favorites: the Jugbusters, The Dirty Hairies, Timewave Zero and Laura Beth and Clover Hollow.

Eight Point Star is a New River Valley-Roanoke collective gathered around old-time and improvisational fiddler Mike Gangloff and bluesy fingerstyle guitarist Matt Peyton that draws on traditional and international roots to create a sound all their own.

With hardanger fiddle, hurdy-gurdy, banjos, gongs, singing bowls and lots more, this is a mostly acoustic sound, but with Matt's theremin and other electronics occasionally rising to the surface sometimes from the Golden Age jazz or Great American Songbook classics that Cara grew up singing, sometimes from the urgent, raw blues that Matt has pursued and sometimes from pure, free improvisation aimed at creating an in-the-moment symphony. This is extended Appalachian music with a story of its own to tell.

Solid, bluesy fingerstyle guitar and soaring, scratchy hardanger fiddle combine for duo explorations; a search for beauty.
