BLUE TWISTED STEEL

THURSDAY, JUNE 8

Formerly known as the band "Marguerite," Blue Twisted Steel is a husband-and-wife lead band based out of Charleston, WV. Members include: Josiah & Abigail Spangler and Evan Olds. Blue Twisted's upcoming EP "Intro," set to be released in mid-2022, includes original post-americana songs with genre-blending arrangements and undertones of psychedelia. The band's recent reformation began in the summer of 2021 after a four year hiatus from performing. During these four years the band wrote the songs for Intro, as well as several others, and finally began tracking in July of 2021. The upcoming EP was recorded and engineered in the Appalachian mountains of West Virginia by Kenneth Clutter, mixed by Rick Kwan, and mastered by Matthew Agoglia of The Ranch Mastering.

JOHN ELLISON AND THE CARPENTER ANTS

THURSDAY, AUGUST 10

John “Some Kind of Wonderful” Ellison was born in Montgomery, WV on the banks of the Kanawha River and grew up in the mining town of Landgraff in McDowell County. In 1959, he quit his job and bought a one-way ticket to Rochester, NY. Eight years later, he formed The Soul Brothers Six. The group’s first release was “Some Kind of Wonderful.” In 1974, Grand Funk Railroad’s version reached the No. 3 spot in the nation. The song has since been covered by more than 75 artists and is known
throughout the world. Other notable covers were recorded by Buddy Guy, Huey Lewis and the News, and, most recently, Rod Stewart.

Even the best bands come and go, but The Carpenter Ants have been around - with virtually the same line up - for more than 16 years. Having evolved into West Virginia's premier rhythm & blues group, the band has unearthed a wealth of classic and forgotten American music. First and foremost, regardless of the occasion, the band never fails to have a good time. And, after more than 2,000 performances, the members still like and respect each other - and you can feel it in their music.

THE SPANGLERS

THURSDAY, AUGUST 24

The Spanglers band is a not-so-typical family band from West Virginia who have been playing together and writing original music for twenty years, playing genres including, but not limited to, roots rock, americana, blues, folk, and jazz. The Spanglers play weddings, festivals, private parties, auditoriums, amphitheaters, theaters, small stages, corners, porches, and coffee shops. However, we prefer ample room, a suitable sound system, and a drum riser.
