Description:
Gillie's welcomes American Roots to the stage on Saturday, August 10th.

American Roots are a local guitar and harmony-vocal duo from Blacksburg who have been performing in the area in one form or another for about 20 years. Fred and Jon Benfield took the name American Roots because it describes the music they enjoy performing.

The two have spent most of their lives in and around the southern Appalachians and have developed an affection for the broad scope of music appreciated by folks in the region. Their performance may include traditional ballads, country blues, early country, tin-pan alley toe tappers, swing tunes, hot fiddle tunes (on guitar), and “folkgrass”.

Local musicians are showcased on Thursdays and Saturdays at 7 pm. NO DOOR COVER! Gillie's musicians play for TIPS every Thursday and Saturday.
