Gillie's welcomes Big Mama Joy to the stage on Thursday, October 23, 2014. Big Mama has been writing and performing songs since 2002, when she moved to Charlottesville, VA and teamed up with the "acoustic mafia". With their help she performed all over C'ville, including opening for Odetta at the old Gravity Lounge (now The Southern Music Hall). Since, she has traveled across the country, playing on a grassroots level, barefoot and busking. She can be seen performing in the Rainbow Gathering documentary "Welcome Home" (17 minutes in). She currently lives in Floyd, Virginia and plays regularly there and in the surrounding areas, including many wineries in the region.
