Event Image
Come out to Stoney Creek Bar & Grill as the areas newest Americana Folk sensation Misty Strings takes the stage Friday August 20th, 2010 at 7:30 pm.

Misty Strings are an Americana Folk band from Charlottesville, Virginia inspired by bluegrass, old-time music and true mountain country. The group formed in early Winter 2010 with three members and quickly proved their ability to write and perform their original blend of acoustic material. Original members Tara Mills, John Howard and Jason Collier often invite local and regional talent to sit in on live performances. All three have different musical backgrounds but unite their eclectic blend that lends to the musical stylings of Misty Strings. Tara Mills handles Vocals and Acoustic Rhythm while bringing her hauntingly beautiful lyrics to life. Jason Collier dives into his guitar with life-breathing solos and melodic tones. John Howard brings vocal harmonies and his brand of post-punk guitar to his mandolin while filling in the cracks with harmonica melodies. Misty Strings is moving quickly booking many local shows and hitting on the Festival circuit so try to catch a live performance you will not be disappointed.

Nelson County, Virginia

If a pink propane truck doesn’t get your attention, not much will! Tiger Fuel is beginning to roll out three of the specially painted trucks as part of a partnership with The American Cancer Society. “Part of the proceeds of the delivery from the pink trucks will go toward contributions to find a cure,” said Tim Spicer, VP of Tiger’s Lovingston and Appomattox Divisions. According to ACS, one in every 229 women between the ages of 30 and 39 will be diagnosed with breast cancer within the next 10 years.

Everything on the special delivery trucks has been painted in the special pink color scheme. Everything!

“This has affected two people in my own family, a grandmother and a cousin. We also have employees and customers that have breast cancer. Tiger is extremely excited to embark on this opportunity.” Tim continued.
