Description:
Mark your calendars for the August's Up on the Roof - Thursday, August 30th at 5:30 pm on the rooftop of Kent Square. Food, Beverages, Live Music, Fun and Good Friends!
Roanoke's PolyChrome will be providing the music. PolyChrome – definition: being of many or various colors. Created in 2009, this extremely experienced pop/rock trio lives up to their name. Not only have the members, Sean Bera - Vocals and Guitar, Mark Lynch - Drums, and Perry Mabry – Bass Guitar, come... from diverse and colorful musical backgrounds ranging from the Mountains of Virginia to the streets of Philadelphia & Baltimore, but they know how to produce a colorful array of sound on the stage as well.
The crowd is taken on a musical journey from one song to the next as PolyChrome explores genres from the 60’s Beatles, to the 80’s Men at Work, to the present with Gavin DeGraw or even Ke$ha. Add some rejuvenated renditions of Johnny Cash’s “Ring of Fire” or Soft Cell’s “Tainted Love” and the PolyChrome effect becomes unmistakable.
