| Description: |
Sharkey's presents The Low Low Chariot in concert on Friday, August 26, 2016. The Low Low Chariot is a country band from Roanoke, VA. Soaring vocals and gritty guitars are two key factors in the Low Low Chariot's sound. Throw in an incredible story of family, fate and tribute and now it's the full package. Singer-songwriter JD Sutphin toured for years with his rock outfit, Madrone, gaining thousands of fans and even radio support. But even with their success, his maternal grandmother told him repeatedly "Country music is gonna find you." And one fateful Christmas it did, in a decades old stack of songs unearthed by his family, written by his own grandfather who died on July 4th, 1974, before he could record them. JD learned these once forgotten songs. He discovered a storytelling style of music that engulfed him to the point of making a pilgrimage to Nashville. He formed a band with seasoned players and named it Low Low Chariot, after his grandfather's single "Swing Low, Sweet Chariot". Now performing live, releasing their first recordings and gaining die-hard fans daily; the Low Low Chariot is ready to continue their story and honor that fate and family that created them.
