Sons of Liberty Featured at Heartwood

Abingdon, Virginia – The Crooked Road: Virginia’s Heritage Music Trail presents the Sons of Liberty in concert on Thursday, August 9th from 6:30 to 8:00 p.m. at Heartwood in Abingdon, VA. This concert is part of The Crooked Road Music Series at Heartwood.

The Sons of Liberty are Joshua, Noah, and Daniel Smith of Jonesville, Virginia. With a background in classical violin, they began re-enacting and playing music of the 18th century in 2014. They are frequently featured as musicians at Sycamore Shoals State Historic Area, Cumberland Gap National Park, Wilderness Road State Park, and at other Virginia state parks as well as local events and festivals. The uniqueness of their sound is enriched by their dynamic arrangements of traditional American songs.

The Crooked Road Music Series takes place each Thursday at Heartwood. The series features youth artists each 2nd Thursday along with open jams on the 1st, 3rd, 4th (and 5th) Thursdays to showcase Southwest Virginia performers.
