Description:
The Town of Floyd kicks off its 6th Annual Floyd Small Town Summer series featuring music from Charlie Hunter and DaShawn Hickman’s Sacred Steel on Thursday, June 9, 2022 outside at Warren G. Lineberry Memorial Park.
The Town of Floyd offers this series of free events to provide a fun, family-friendly atmosphere in downtown Floyd, VA. Featuring music, movies, face-painting, inflatables, games, food and beverage and special activities presented by a variety of community organizations!
Enjoy an amazing co-bill featuring DaShawn Hickman, one of the foremost contemporary practitioners of Sacred Steel, a blues-gospel tradition dating back to the 1930’s, and Victoria Victoria, a North Carolina vocalist who leans into lusciously stacked harmonies and entrancing melodies. Both ensembles will be joined by Charlie Hunter, a guitarist and producer from Greensboro, North Carolina who is widely considered the authority on the seven and eight string guitar. Critics have touted his genius technique, but it's his profound artistic sensibility that propels his music. Hunter's signature style of writing and performing has secured his place as one of today's great guitarists
The Small Town Summer Event Series is free and open to the public.
Bring your lawn chair and/or blanket.
Gates will be open and access provided to the public starting at 6:00 PM on all Floyd Small Town Summer events. Movies will begin when the sun goes down.
The events take place on alternating Thursdays from mid-June to the end of August.
