bigmamajoy @ Dogtown Roadhouse

Bigmama has been writing and performing songs since 2002, when she moved to Charlottesville and teamed up with the “acoustic mafia”. With their help she performed all over C’ville, including opening for Odetta at the old Gravity Lounge (now The Southern Music Hall). Since, she has traveled across the country, playing on a grassroots level, barefoot and busking. She can be seen performing in the Rainbow Gathering documentary Welcome Home (17 minutes in).

She currently lives along the Crooked Road in the one-stoplight music town of Floyd, Virginia and plays regularly there and in the surrounding areas, including many wineries, festivals, house concerts and radio shows in the region.
