Description
Established in the Shenandoah Valley, PALMYRA explores the fusion of traditional folk string instruments, three part harmonies and foot percussion. The trio captures the collective spirit of three Virginia natives, Teddy (he/him), Manoa (he/him), and Sasha (they/them), often described as a distant cousin of the progressive folk band, Punch Brothers, mixed with elements of Oliver Wood or the Avett Brothers. Palmyra’s songs are intimate and contemplative, with arrangements that allow them to create the illusion of a full, larger-than-three ensemble. The trio's sound is a nod to Appalachia and Midwestern Americana, apparent through their stirring craftsmanship and dedication to a folk-driven, innovative experience throughout each live performance. In 2022, Palmyra made their Newport Folk Festival debut, were named the FloydFest 2022 On The Rise Winner, and performed over 150 tour dates on acclaimed stages up and down the east coast, including a support tour with national headlining act, Illiterate Light. They are currently working on writing and recording music in their new home of Richmond, VA and will be touring all of 2023. HOW TO JOIN US You never need a ticket or a reservation to attend one of our concerts - just show up. If we had a gate, it would open at 2pm. Feel free to show up earlier than that, even, if you just want to enjoy the weather, have a picnic, or just hang out (though we may ask you to help set up!). The show will start at 3pm or shortly thereafter. Doodad Farm never charges for entry to concerts, though we do request that those who are able (and you know who you are) donate at the stage area. Every penny of your donations goes straight to the performers. We think $15-$20 is a reasonable donation for this show. As always, we ask that you surprise yourself with your own generosity to support our performers. Other details: • Kids, dogs, and all your friends are always welcome. Doodad Farm is a safe place for everyone. • It's July, but we have lots of shade here. • Please bring CASH for your donation to the performers and for merch purchases. • This is an outside, farm like setting (thus the name). Dress like you’re going camping and you’ll be fine. • We never allow weapons of any sort at the farm. If you think you need to protect yourself, you’re in the wrong place. • Bring your own beverages, and consume them responsibly. Of course snacks and picnics are welcome. • If you’re a sitter, bring a chair. We have some extras if you forget. • Smoking is permitted as long as you don’t bother anyone or do any butt-dropping. • Please clean up after yourself and treat the Farm as if it’s your own (in a way, it is!). • A portable toilet and drinking water will be available. • Let someone help you park, especially if the field is wet.
