Jer Coons

Make sure you catch this rising star at Kirk Ave!
Jer Coons is instantly familiar and engaging. (His songs) all stand alone as well-executed pop songs, crafted with maturity well beyond Jer's years. His backing band of musicians - keep the songs radio friendly without playing anything they can't recreate live; a feat that many bands spend their whole career trying to achieve.
Movement Magazine
Jer Coons could definitely be Mr. Mraz's voice twin... Both sing laid back summery songs. Both have a soothing tone to their voice...the song Legs is a warm acoustic ode to losing the one you love to someone else. Another highlight is the catchy Secrets, which just has one of those great melodies. Digging for Days

Bluegrass fans: Do NOT miss The Gibson Brothers or Trent Wagler & The Steel Wheels. Come see why everyone raves about them:
"The Gibson Brothers have not only revisited their previous high watermarks, but have also thrillingly exceeded them." Bob Allen, Bluegrass Unlimited
"Beautiful. Timeless. Wrenching." Bill Eichenberger, Columbus Dispatch
"The Gibson Brothers deliver their tales of rural life with a mixture of pain and joy that rings truer than the romanticism of most bluegrass." Geoffrey Himes, Washington Post
"A new musical high." Ron Wynn, Nashville City Paper
"This record is incredible.” Juli Thanki, PopMatters
Bill Kirchen and the Hammer of the Honky Tonk Gods

Bill Kirchen was the first to play Kirk Avenue Music Hall, for LOTS of good reasons. All it takes is a spin of Hammer of the Honky-Tonk Gods or a night with Bill Kirchen as he tears the roof off any place he appears to agree with what the Austin American-Statesman says: “Bill Kirchen rules. It’s just that simple.”
Tenderhooks, The Circus, The Judys
Sunday, November 15, 7:30 $5

The Tenderhooks create "classic, timeless songs that belie their tender ages. Like the best bands, they are a product of their influences (which range from Pere Ubu to Emmylou Harris), yet sound like none of them. Their third and latest release, New Ways to Butcher English, is an artistic triumph..." Metro Pulse

The Claiborne House Bed and Breakfast is just 25 minutes drive to Kirk Avenue Music Hall, there is onstreet free parking and a lot directly across the narrow street for $2 after hours. There are plenty of super restaurants downtown Roanoke. We recommend Alejandro's for CA style Mexican food with their salsa bar, fish tacos and more (127 Campbell Ave SE, Roanoke).
Mill Mountain Coffee is our #1 pick for a great cuppa- just two doors down from Alejandro's which is close to the Market Square in downtown Roanoke (112 Campbell Ave SE, Roanoke) . Remember - the city lots offer free parking after 5PM each evening.
