Sounds on the Square will continue with the fourth month of the 2024 season with Fescue on Friday, August 2, 2024, on the Plaza of the Historic Henry County Courthouse, 7:00-10:00 P.M.

Admission is free. Beginning at 6:00 P.M., Scuffle Hill Brewing Company will serve craft beers, Rocky Mount Smokehouse will sell food, and Bahama Sno-Shack will offer frozen treats. Bring a lawn chair or blanket. Invite your friends and family for an evening of live music at Uptown Martinsville’s premier concert series.

Fescue is a jamgrass, Americana band with added classic rock, blues, indie, grunge, originals, and more. Jamgrass is a freer and more expansive version of traditional bluegrass. Jamgrass is similar to bluegrass, but with a few more instruments, a more open-to-interpretation format, and a lot of fans who want something more. What distinguishes jamgrass from bluegrass is that it pulls from rock and pop and has some pretty hopped up progressions. Don’t expect one performance to be the same as any other – jamming is all very in-the-moment!

Coordinated by the Martinsville-Henry County Historical Society, Sounds on the Square is sponsored by Carter Bank & Trust, Children First Pediatrics, Deskins, Inc., The Estate & Elder Law Center of Southside Virginia, Hooker Furnishings, The Lester Group, New College Institute, and Sarver Cleaning Services.

A finalist in the Best of the Blue Ridge 2024 as Family Friendly Festival, Sounds on the Square is enjoyed by patrons of all ages, generations, and cultures. This will be the fourth year of the series and continues to be some of the most popular Uptown offerings generating vitality and community engagement.

Forrest Taylor was originally scheduled to perform, but his firstborn is due August 5, 2024. Please keep Forrest and his wife, Hannah, in your thoughts and prayers as they welcome Shepherd Israel Taylor.
