Description:
UPDATE: The event has been moved inside the Floyd County High School due to high threat of rain.

The Town of Floyd presents Opening Night of the 2019 Floyd Small Town Summer series featuring music from The Harwell Grice Band and Love Canon followed by a screening of the movie "Ralph Breaks The Internet" on Thursday, June 6, 2019 at Warren G. Lineberry Memorial Park.

Small Town Summer offers fun for the whole family, including bounce houses, games, face painting and special activities presented by a variety of community organizations. Food will also be available for purchase and benefit the Floyd non-profit Plenty!.

The Harwell Grice Band has been entertaining audiences throughout Virginia nonstop, since late 2003. Based in Franklin County, VA, their original bluegrass and Americana mixed with a large repertoire of traditionals and even a few popular covers result in a very entertaining show.

The band's musical arrangements and three and four-part harmonies are some of the best in the business. Their lyrics are both meaningful and honest while staying true to the traditions and themes of Appalachian music.

As seasoned virtuoso string players, Love Canon has been touring the mid-Atlantic since 2010 performing hits from the 80s and 90s. Based in Charlottesville, Virginia, the group brings their acoustic-roots sensibilities to the electronic-tinged pop hits of the 80s and 90s. Love Canon delivers a fresh set of classics, crossing genres to recount music of decades past from the likes of Peter Gabriel, Billy Joel, Depeche Mode, and Paul Simon. The self-produced album hosts a plethora of special guests including Jerry Douglas, Aoife O’Donovan, Keller Williams, Michael Cleveland, and Eric Krasno, among others.

The band’s diehard fans are music lovers first and are drawn to the charismatic and wide-ranging vocal stylings of lead singer and guitarist Jesse Harper matched with banjo master Adam Larrabee, mandolin pickin’ by Andy Thacker, Darrell Muller holding down the low-end on standup bass, and the slick sounds of resonator guitar king Jay Starling on the Beard MA-6. It’s acoustic rock!

Style Weekly says, “Love Cano doesn't cover the music of the 80s as much as kidnap it and take it on a bluegrass-tinged joyride."

“One of my favorite bands on any circuit today. Playing the music I love from the 80’s and 90’s and doing it right. I love watching and hearing these guys!“
— Sammy Shelor, Lonesome River Band
