Description:
The Floyd Country Store presents the December 2018 edition of The Floyd Radio Show featuring Gap Civil Old Time Band, Amber Kalber & Branch House and John Lilly on Saturday, December 1, 2018 starting at 7:30 pm.

Live from The Floyd Country Store in the heart of downtown Floyd, Virginia! The Floyd Country Store brings together a new variety show every month. A series of guest hosts will perform original radio plays, comedy bits, ads, jingles, music and more. Each show features the finest old-timey musical acts, from storytelling banjo players to flatpicking guitarists to hard-driving string bands.

Gap Civil is an old time band from Sparta, NC. We love playing square dances and for community events.

Branch House was put together by the trio Amber Collins, Abe Goorsky and Scott Patrick to be able to play a wider variety of music including country, gospel, folk, Americana, bluegrass, and acoustic rock songs. They rely on strong songwriting, instrumental versatility and superb vocals to bring the music they love to a diverse audience.

Branch House Pavilion was initially thought of as a way to branch away from bluegrass, but it was more about exploring originality in songs no matter the genre. Whether it be an interesting back story on how the song was written or a heartfelt display of emotion singing it, Branch House Pavilion has a focus more on the song rather than individuality. Having a singer as dynamic as Amber, the versatility that Abe has on mandolin or guitar, and the songwriting passion that Scott carries with him, all on one stage with three part harmony, it creates a close and comfortable musical journey at each show. It’s like a private concert in your own living room!

John’s songs have been recorded by Bobby Helms, Wild Rose, Patty Mitchell, and others.
