SUMMARY:Movement\, Metaphor and Meaning - Returning Home
DESCRIPTION:I am delighted to be offering these somatic movement based expressive arts classes to the Floyd community once again.\nThis 8 week course of Monday night classes will be a creative exploration on returning home to the body and to the heart of what matters in your life through movement and art making. There is a potent connection to be made between our physical\, emotional and imaginative experiences. As we make this connection\, movement can serve as a metaphor and a narrative that reveals\, expresses and transforms. Encountering old stories\, we discover artful ways to re-story ourselves\, bringing new vision to the life themes that matter to us.\nThe introductory class on September 16th was successful and the group agreed to open registration for the 8 week course to anyone else who may be interested. Space is limited. After September 30th\, the remaining classes will be closed in order to create the intimacy which will support this transformational experience.\nClasses will begin with a self directed quiet somatic movement meditation to arrive in the body and the space which will hold our creative explorations. After a brief welcome and check in\, the group will begin exploring the week’s theme employing the Tamalpa Life/Art Process® through movement and the art mediums of drawing and creative writing. Through individual and group sharing\, witnessing and aesthetic response\, participants will potentially increase self awareness and generate additional resources to support their well-being through the ever-changing cycles of the human experience.\nAdults of all levels of ability are welcome. No previous experience in dance or art is needed. Come with the intention to heighten your somatic body awareness\, express your creative potential\, deepen your understanding of self and others and to bring new vision to the life themes that matter to us.\nWhat to Bring:\nWear loose comfortable clothing. Bare feet are preferred\, soft soled shoes required if shoes are worn. The floor of the studio is soft. Bring a water bottle and whatever will provide you comfort: a blanket\, cushion for sitting\, … chairs are provided if needed. If desired\, bring a personal journal.\nFor those who are new comers and trying this first class before committing to the series of classes\, art supplies will be provided.\nFee for trying the first class\, Experience TLAP\, on Sept. 30th is $20. Registration is required athttps://FlowingWatersCenterforWellBeing.as.me/ExperienceTLAP\nThe cost for the Class Series is $145 plus your personal art materials\, $25-$30\, depending on what you select.You will need:Large pad of newsprint or drawing paper\, 18”x24”Box of oil pastelsPersonal journal for any extra notes or thoughts that you want torecord.\nRegistration for Full Course\, Returning Home\, is required at https://FlowingWatersCenterforWellBeing.as.me/ReturningHome\nYour host is certified Tamalpa Practitioner Lora Leigh Giessler LMT\, CST-T\, RSME/T\nIf you have questions or for more information\,contact Lora Leigh: 540-520-0140 loraleighgiessler@gmail.com\nWHAT IS TAMALPA LIFE/ART® Process?“The Tamalpa Life/Art Process®\, also referred to as the Halprin Life/Art Process®\, is an integrated approach that explores the wisdom of the body as expressed through movement\, dance\, and imagination. We use artistic processes and media to explore and deepen our relationship to psychological life\, to social issues\, and to creativity itself.” https://www.tamalpa.org/about-us/our-process\nListen to Daria Halprin and witness the process in real time – https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yVQ50oG2bnE

SUMMARY:Kendall Street Company
DESCRIPTION:**Get your tickets: kendallstreetcompany.com/merch/p/presale-ticket-092824-floyd-va-dogtown-roadhouse \n$10 in advance // $15 day of show at the door \nKendall Street Company is returning to our stage! This is a show to experience! \nVirginia’s Kendall Street Company are no strangers to having a wild time. The genre-fluid\, eclectic rock ensemble has drawn varied comparisons to the dynamic jams of Umphrey’s McGee and Widespread Panic\, songwriting of John Prine\, experimental psychedelia of Pink Floyd\, progressive jazz-infused rock of Frank Zappa\, and off-color humor of Ween and They Might Be Giants. Including elements of crowd participation\, off-the-cuff comedic bits\, haphazard choreography\, musical improvisation\, and surprise musical guests\, each Kendall Street Company concert is an experience unlike any other. You’ll laugh\, you’ll cry. Just remember to stay hydrated. \nMore: kendallstreetcompany.com \n**Get your tickets: kendallstreetcompany.com/merch/p/presale-ticket-092824-floyd-va-dogtown-roadhouse \n$10 in advance // $15 day of show at the door

SUMMARY:Sam Bush Band – SOLD OUT
DESCRIPTION:Join us at The Floyd Country Store on Sunday\, September 22\, 2024 at 7:30 pm for a special performance with THE SAM BUSH BAND. This live event will be held as part of our 40th Anniversary Celebration. Tickets are $60 general admission\, $70 reserved seating\, available for sale online and in the store. This event is sponsored in part by the Crooked Road and Virginia Tourism. \nSam Bush Band\nSAM BUSH\nThere was only one prize-winning teenager carrying stones big enough to say thanks\, but no thanks to Roy Acuff. Only one son of Kentucky finding a light of inspiration from Bill Monroe and his Blue Grass Boys and catching a fire from Bob Marley and The Wailers. Only one progressive hippie allying with like-minded conspirators\, rolling out the New Grass revolution\, and then leaving the genre’s torch-bearing band behind as it reached its commercial peak. \nThere is only one consensus pick of peers and predecessors\, of the traditionalists\, the rebels\, and the next gen devotees. Music’s ultimate inside outsider. Or is it outside insider? There is only one Sam Bush. \nOn a Bowling Green\, Kentucky cattle farm in the post-war 1950s\, Bush grew up an only son\, and with four sisters. His love of music came immediately\, encouraged by his parents’ record collection and\, particularly\, by his father Charlie\, a fiddler\, who organized local jams. Charlie envisioned his son someday a staff fiddler at the Grand Ole Opry\, but a clear day’s signal from Nashville brought to Bush’s television screen a tow-headed boy named Ricky Skaggs playing mandolin with Flatt and Scruggs\, and an epiphany for Bush. At 11\, he purchased his first mandolin. \nAs a teen fiddler Bush was a three-time national champion in the junior division of the National Oldtime Fiddler’s Contest. He recorded an instrumental album\, Poor Richard’s Almanac as a high school senior and in the spring of 1970 attended the Fiddlers Convention in Union Grove\, NC. There he heard the New Deal String Band\, taking notice of their rock-inspired brand of progressive bluegrass. \nAcuff offered him a spot in his band. Bush politely turned down the country titan. It was not the music he wanted to play. He admired the grace of Flatt & Scruggs\, loved Bill Monroe- even saw him perform at the Ryman- but he’d discovered electrified alternatives to tradition in the Osborne Brothers and manifest destiny in The Dillards. \nSee the photo of a fresh-faced Sam Bush in his shiny blue high school graduation gown\, circa 1970. Tufts of blonde hair breaking free of the borders of his squared cap\, Bush is smiling\, flanked by his proud parents. The next day he was gone\, bound for Los Angeles. He got as far as his nerve would take him- Las Vegas- then doubled back to Bowling Green. \n“I started working at the Holiday Inn as a busboy\,” Bush recalls. “Ebo Walker and Lonnie Peerce came in one night asking if I wanted to come to Louisville and play five nights a week with the Bluegrass Alliance. That was a big\, ol’ ‘Hell yes\, let’s go.’” \nBush played guitar in the group\, then began playing mandolin after recruiting guitarist Tony Rice to the fold. Following a fallout with Peerce in 1971\, Bush and his Alliance mates- Walker\, Courtney Johnson\, and Curtis Burch- formed the New Grass Revival\, issuing the band’s debut\, New Grass Revival. Walker left soon after\, replaced temporarily by Butch Robins\, with the quartet solidifying around the arrival of bassist John Cowan. \n“There were already people that had deviated from Bill Monroe’s style of bluegrass\,” Bush explains. “If anything\, we were reviving a newgrass style that had already been started. Our kind of music tended to come from the idea of long jams and rock-&-roll songs.” \nShunned by some traditionalists\, New Grass Revival played bluegrass fests slotted in late-night sets for the “long-hairs and hippies.” Quickly becoming a favorite of rock audiences\, they garnered the attention of Leon Russell\, one of the era’s most popular artists. Russell hired New Grass as his supporting act on a massive tour in 1973 that put the band nightly in front of tens of thousands. \nAt tour’s end\, it was back to headlining six nights a week at an Indiana pizza joint. But\, they were resilient\, grinding it out on the road. And in 1975 the Revival first played Telluride\, Colorado\, forming a connection with the region and its fans that has prospered for 45 years. \nBush was the newgrass commando\, incorporating a variety of genres into the repertoire. He discovered a sibling similarity with the reggae rhythms of Marley and The Wailers\, and\, accordingly\, developed an ear-turning original style of mandolin playing. The group issued five albums in their first seven years\, and in 1979 became Russell’s backing band. By 1981\, Johnson and Burch left the group\, replaced by banjoist Bela Fleck and guitarist Pat Flynn. \nA three-record contract with Capitol Records and a conscious turn to the country market took the Revival to new commercial heights. Bush survived a life-threatening bout with cancer\, and returned to the group that’d become more popular than ever. They released chart-climbing singles\, made videos\, earned Grammy nominations\, and\, at their zenith\, called it quits. \n“We were on the verge of getting bigger\,” recalls Bush. “Or maybe we’d gone as far as we could. I’d spent 18 years in a four-piece partnership. I needed a break. But\, I appreciated the 18 years we had.” \nBush worked the next five years with Emmylou Harris’ Nash Ramblers\, then a stint with Lyle Lovett. He took home three-straight IBMA Mandolin Player of the Year awards\, 1990-92\, (and a fourth in 2007). In 1995 he reunited with Fleck\, now a burgeoning superstar\, and toured with the Flecktones\, reigniting his penchant for improvisation. Then\, finally\, after a quarter-century of making music with New Grass Revival and collaborating with other bands\, Sam Bush went solo. \nHe’s released seven albums and a live DVD over the past two decades. In 2009\, the Americana Music Association awarded Bush the Lifetime Achievement Award for Instrumentalist. Punch Brothers\, Steep Canyon Rangers\, and Greensky Bluegrass are just a few present-day bluegrass vanguards among so many musicians he’s influenced. His performances are annual highlights of the festival circuit\, with Bush’s joyous perennial appearances at the town’s famed bluegrass fest earning him the title\, “King of Telluride.” \n“With this band I have now I am free to try anything. Looking back at the last 50 years of playing newgrass\, with the elements of jazz improvisation and rock-&-roll\, jamming\, playing with New Grass Revival\, Leon\, and Emmylou; it’s a culmination of all of that\,” says Bush. “I can unapologetically stand onstage and feel I’m representing those songs well.” \nBuy Tickets Online

Janiah’s son\,\nNyo Allen\, offers his exceptional drumming skills\, bringing life to Father Sun’s beats and\ncreating a tight\, cohesive groove with his father on bass.

Father Sun knocks that idea out of the park. The songs are relatable and fun to listen to\, plus they contain a depth of musicianship and message that inspire reflection and call for a greater sense of connection in our society.”  – Seth Abramson\, The City Salt \nfathersunband.com
