Notification:  Tuggles Gap: SATURDAY LIVE! Concerts on the Lawn
are now PLAYMORE! MUSIC Lawn Concerts

Bernie Coveney and his production company Playmore! Music have been
engaged by Cherie Baker of Tuggles Gap Restaurant & Motel to produce
the Saturday afternoon lawn concert series that was announced in May.
Cheri and Bernie are combining their vision for providing a venue for
regional  artists in a relaxed family atmosphere at this historical
landmark just off the Blue Ridge Parkway in Floyd.

Bernie a consummate musician who teaches, or better yet, inspires his
students to find the musician within. Bernie has years of experience
writing and performing music. His musical roots are in blue grass but
his development as a musician has found him on stage with the likes of
Emmy Lou Harris, John Carlini & Steve Pague.  He can be heard several
nights a week at different venues in Floyd, VA, playing original
compositions, gypsy/jazz, bluegrass, blues, country and a little bit
of rock 'n roll. He likes playing with people who stimulate him and
says that Floyd has a lot of musicians who do that. To that end he is
opening up the stage at Tuggles Gap to both professional musicians and
"just for fun" musicians.

The concerts are from 12 to 3 every Saturday with an open mic from
1-2. Musicians are welcome to bring their instruments and sit in for a
jam or take to the stage for a solo.
