Mike Mitchell is a singer and songwriter from Floyd, VA specializing in the fiddle and violin. Mike plays traditional and contemporary bluegrass music in the southwest Virginia area.

With his effortless vocals, distinctive songwriting, and instrumental prowess, Mike continues to capture audiences and carve out his own place in bluegrass.

Educated at the Western Conservatory of Music in Ontario, Canada, Mike Mitchell began playing the violin at the age of five. His passion for music led him to a string performance major at Youngstown State University, and more than 10 years of national touring with rock and acoustic ensembles.

Aditionally, Mike performs with the acclaimed mountain music group, Blue Moonshine, and Floyd Time.

Her Majesty is a punk-rock trio from Virginia. With musical influence from artists like The Smashing Pumpkins, Metallica, and The White Stripes, the three piece brings an original & explosive blend between elements of punk, grunge, alt rock and metal. Their melodies and lyrics will have you singing along to every track. Her Majesty has music out on every streaming platform including Spotify and Apple Music.

They are always expanding their reach to fans by playing shows to new audiences, maintaining a heavy social media presence on Facebook and Instagram, and by releasing enticing songs that leave fans wanting more.

The Kind, a Blacksburg based folk-rock band, is familiar to anyone who has passed through the New River Valley over the last few decades. Formed in 1986, The Kind plays in a variety of styles that ranges from classic rock, R&B, and jazz to bluegrass and country; however, the arena which they most frequently blend their diverse influences is their huge melting pot of Grateful Dead covers.

Over the years, The Kind has been privileged to perform with the likes of Jorma Kaukonen (Jefferson Airplane & Hot Tuna), Rick Danko (The Band), Merle Saunders (The Jerry Garcia Band), and The New Riders of the Purple Sage. The Kind combines strong lead vocals and harmonies together with intertwining melodies and soulful rhythmic grooves to produce a fun, flowing and danceable experience. They are equally at home in a laid-back acoustic setting or a high-energy electric experience.
