Interstates
and the overall Walmarting of America have drawn most
people's attention away from small towns along route 11
in VA. The result in not just a loss of economy for these
hamlets, it also causes us to forget a part of our
heritage.
Shenandoah Valley Events
and Happenings off - US Route 11
Not too long ago, about 10 years to be
exact, with lots of potatoes, good oil, salt, serendipity,
and a little luck, Route 11 Potato Chips sprouted in an
old feed store.
Creating an ever growing list of musicians
artists and small business
networking together to make a difference in the
Shenandoah Valley - since 1996
Scott
Christopher Murray is an accomplished singer/songwriter
and a veteran of the acoustic music scene. Raised
in the heart of the Shenandoah Valley of Virginia,
Scott grew up absorbing its rich story-telling
tradition and Appalachian music legacy. His first
album "The Old Man Dreams," a
collection of original material, was a regional
success.
Scott
moved to Nashville in the early 1990's. While
there, he opened for Emmylou Harris, Bruan Bowers,
Goose Creek Symphony and Suzy Bogguss. He also
shared the state with Willie Nelson, Lyle Lovett,
Shelby Lynn, Mary Chapin Carpenter, Kathy Mattea
and Henry Gross. Scott was named Grand Prize
winner at the Gumtree Folk Festival, and was a
regular performer at Townes Van Zandt's bar in
Nashville. - more info

What is
a house concert? A house concert is a chance to
experience music by local musicians in a warm and
intimate environment. It's when someone opens up their
home and invites you into their living room to share in a
performance by a few of our talented musicians.
Why
would anyone do this? There are few venues where
people can go to experience great music in a close and
friendly environment. Great music makes us happy and we
want to share that with others around us. These events
allow us to give exposure to some incredible Virginia and
traveling musicians that are a part of our worldwide
network whose talents we truly believe in and wish to
help promote.
How much
does this cost? We have a "recommended donation"
of $10-20 per person but we realize every situation is
different and we can certainly make concessions to fit
your individual needs.
