The Town of Floyd continues the 2018 Floyd Small Town Summer series with the FloydFest Warm-Up Concert with Los Chupacabras and South Hill Banks on Thursday, July 19, 2018 at Warren G. Lineberry Memorial Park. This FloydFest Soundcheck, features two bands, South Hill Banks & Los Chupacabras. FloydFest is a world music and arts festival held annually near Floyd, Virginia, in the Blue Ridge Mountains just off the Blue Ridge Parkway. The Floyd Small Town Summer & The Town of Floyd are excited to collaborate again with Floyd Fest 2018. Lurking in the Blue Ridge Mountains is an eclectic herd of friends that go by Los Chupacabras. Inspired by the mythical creature, this ensemble of talented players sprung from the misty hollows steeped in mystery and mayhem. One lone chupacabra is to be feared but together, they synchronize a whole new beast of rhythm. If you’re lucky, you may be able to spot them late in the night, holding down a blend of reverb-soaked surf, psychedelic, exotica, and cinematic music.

Formed in August 2015 in Richmond, Virginia, South Hill Banks pulls from a wide range of influences such as Phish, Tony Rice, The Grateful Dead, and Doc Watson, Sam Bush, Greensky Bluegrass to keep audiences entertained with a blend of sounds old and new. Since the release of their debut album, Riverside Dr., South Hill Banks have taken central Virginia by storm, headlining a multitude of small- and medium-sized venues and working aside national touring groups with a devoted and ever-growing fanbase following every step of the way. South Hill Banks are currently performers-in-residence at The Camel in Richmond, Virginia, appearing on the 2nd Friday of every month. Be sure to stay tuned, as the band has big plans to make a name for themselves throughout the rest of Virginia and beyond.
