Description:
Tuggles Gap Motel & Restaurant presents Floyd Eclipsed with Music from Flirting With Chemicals on Monday, August 21, 2017.

Join us on Eclipse Day for a fun family event to view the 2017 Solar Eclipse. There'll be solar viewers to use and share. Plus, we'll be building a giant solar projector to safely view the eclipse in real time.

Flirting With Chemicals will provide the celestial music beginning at 2:30 pm.

Flirting with Chemicals, Floyd Virginia’s Neo-psychedelic dance band draws inspiration from many sacred sources including Velvet Underground, Neil Young, Yo La Tengo, Guided by Voices, The Byrds, Sparklehorse, Brian Eno and Bob Dylan. The song writing team of Barb Gillespie and Jeff Liverman deliver haunting lyrics coupled with elegant melodies and rhythms. Stephen Wallace on keyboard, Rick Hall on bass and Fred Harris on drums join Jeff and Barb in Flirting with Chemicals. Their skill and talent perfectly support the music and experience.

Flirting with Chemicals positions itself at a strange country crossroads. Hailing from a tiny, but musically significant town of Floyd, Virginia, they have one foot in the Appalachian Mountains and the other in the gritty sounds of the city. In the other orientation, their sound is of today but ghosts from the past creep into their arrangements and compositions. Echos of Neil Young’s plaintive voice, Charlie Patton’s gravel road vocal and the hypnotic musings of Eno make their way into this strange, beautiful and highly intoxicating music.
