Hot Strings and Cool Breezes Minifest at Shenandoah Valley Music Festival

Shenandoah Valley Music Festival
Orkney Springs, VA

Steep Canyon Rangers got their start in college at UNC-Chapel Hill, before diving head first into bluegrass in its most traditional form. Over the years, the band has risen to the top of the bluegrass genre, headlining top festivals, such as Merlefest and Grey Fox Bluegrass, only to then be discovered by Steve Martin, famous actor/comedian and banjo player. Martin has taken the Rangers on a nearly decade long tour, introducing them to hundreds of thousands of new fans and giving them prime time TV exposure.

The Gibson Brothers, a celebrated bluegrass duo, were named back-to-back Entertainers of the Year by the International Bluegrass Music Association in 2012 and 2013. A mix of country, soul and seventies rock, their latest album, “Mockingbird,” further cements the sibling duo as musical trailblazers.

Evening with Firefall at The George Washington Hotel

Firefall is a 40 year labor of love with three founders: Jock Bartley (vocals, guitar), David Muse (vocals, sax. flute, keyboards) and Mark Andes (vocals, bass). Their layered harmonies backed by driving rhythms transcends many genres from rock to country to AC and brought the band platinum and gold success with such hits as “You Are The Woman”, “Strange Way” and “Just Remember I Love You”.

Evening with John Ford Coley at The George Washington Hotel

John Ford Coley is an American singer, guitarist, classically trained pianist, actor, and author. He is most revered as half of the Grammy nominated duo, England Dan and John Ford Coley.

John has created many memorable hits such as: “Love Is The Answer”, “Gone Too Far”, “I’d Really Love To See You Tonight”, “We’ll Never Have To Say Goodbye Again”, “Nights Are Forever Without You”, and “Sad To Belong”.

Contributions: African Americans in the Shenandoah Valley

African Americans have contributed to the shaping of the Shenandoah Valley for more than 300 years and their influence can be found throughout the MSV Collection. With art, objects, and documents, Contributions tells the stories of those who endured enslavement, resisted oppression, and achieved success. Nearly 40 significant African Americans in the northern Shenandoah Valley’s history—from the 1700s to today—are highlighted in the exhibition. 

Gardens of Glass: The Art of Craig Mitchell Smith

Thirty larger-than-life floral and other forms will be on display throughout the MSV gardens in the exhibition, Gardens of Glass: The Art of Craig Mitchell Smith. The Charlevoix, Michigan, artist has been creating floral forms in kiln-fired glass since 2006, and his revolutionary techniques have made him one of the most innovative kiln-glass artists in America. Smith’s artwork has been displayed in Epcot Center in Disney World, Missouri Botanical Garden, and many other locations. Exclusively for the MSV display, Smith will create a piece evoking apple blossoms.
