Description:
The Town of Blacksburg continues the 2013 Market Square Jam series with host band The Black Twig Pickers on Wednesday, August 7th.

Banjos and fiddles, boards and bones in hand, the Black Twig Pickers dove into a living tradition of old-time music that surrounds their homes in Southwest Virginia and never looked back. Both scholars of the regional sounds and advocates of an ecstatic and highly personal approach to the music, the Twigs hold down local dance and bar gigs, play all manner of celebrations and every so often, hit the road.

Market Square Jam is a weekly jam session that takes place in the warmer months on Wednesday evenings from 8-11 pm at the site of the Farmers Market on the corner of Draper Road and Roanoke Street.

The Jam, catering to traditional old time and bluegrass music, brings musicians together to pick a tune, enjoy some fun times with their friends and family, and take in all that downtown Blacksburg has to offer.

If you’re a musician or just interested in learning, come on out to the Market Square Jam and play along. Or, if you’re just looking for some great music and a place to kick back on a Wednesday night, bring a chair, bring a blanket, and join us at the park.

Note: Aside from bench seating available in the park, additional seating is not provided. Musicians and attendees are encouraged to bring chairs.
