DESCRIPTION:Free admission\, donations gratefully accepted. \nCaller – Nancy Mamlin \nGap Civil is an Appalachian Mountain Music band built on their motto of honor and innovation. They honor the mountain traditions that have shaped and rooted their music\, and they take great pride in innovative and exciting original songs\, tunes\, and arrangements. Fluidly blending the genres of old-time\, country\, bluegrass\, and Americana\, their music is sure to make you want to dance – whether that’s hitting the floor with a driving flatfoot or pulling that special someone close with a honky tonk two-step. \nGap Civil was formed in 2017\, based in Sparta\, NC\, and features Todd Hiatt on guitar\, Chris Johnson on banjo and bass\, Lucas Pasley on fiddle and vocals\, and Kyle Dean Smith on bass and lead guitar. \nWhen they’re not making music (which is not too often) Chris is pursuing his business career\, Lucas is teaching English at Alleghany High School in Sparta\, Kyle is wheeling and dealing on Facebook marketplace (check out his records)\, and Todd is keeping the roads safe with the NCDOT. But they try to keep that kind of work to a minimum to focus on the important things in life…dancing to fiddle tunes!

SUMMARY:Jam Sessions at the Barber Shop
DESCRIPTION:  \nOne of the more quaint musical venues in the Blue Ridge region is the tiny Drexel Barber Shop in the little town of Drexel. The shop features a very informal jam session. Thursday\, Friday\, and Saturday\, around 11:00 am‚ the guys at the barber shop generally put aside their scissors‚ shears‚ and combs and grab their instruments for a few hours of picking. Thursday and Friday are a mix of gospel and country\, while Saturday is bluegrass all day. This event occurs year-round on most‚ but not all‚ Saturday afternoons. \n  \n\n  \nRound out your visit to the Drexel Barber Shop by exploring these nearby towns and attractions. \nLawrence Anthony‚ the driving force behind the jam‚ passed away in December of 2009. Anthony’s son has set up a nonprofit account to repair and keep the shop open for the sake of the music and as a memorial to Anthony. Donations can be sent to the “Barber Shop Preservation Fund‚” c/o First Citizens Bank‚ Valdese‚ NC; taken to the barbershop; or sent to the Barber Shop Fund‚ 2744 Monarch Dr.‚ Charlotte‚ NC.
