Big Rock and the Candy Ass Mountain Boys
Presentation #1 Abstract
Come join us for musical hi-jinks in the American Roots tradition, good food, and craft beers galore at Black Sheep Burrito and Brews--a local phenomenon. If you’re looking for a unique place to eat and relax, Black Sheep Burrito & Brews is a place to separate from the flock and identify yourself however you please. If that weren't enough, as part of this event, the Black Sheep will be infusing a beer with locally made herbal ingredients from the Charleston Brewing Company. This is an off-site event located approximately 7 blocks from the conference hotel and just off the Marshall University campus at the corner of Hal Greer Blvd and 3rd Avenue (the same avenue on which the conference venue is located). Just walk east until you hear the ruckus. Black Sheep Burrito and Brews 1555 3rd Ave. Huntington, WV 304.523.1555
At-A-Glance Bios- Participant #1
So a log cabin builder, a nurse, a reporter, a massage therapist, an artist, a music teacher, a computer tech and a professional musician walk into a bar.
They are in their 20s, 30s, 40s, 50s and 60s and while they come from different eras, walks of life and expertise they all come together around the communal fire that is music. They are BRATCAMB. Big Rock and the Candy Ass Mountain Boys, a new, old-school jug band that boils up early jazz and blues, funk, freaky folk, old-time and banjo-sliding mandolin riffing rock 'n' roll.
The band has played Black Sheep Burrito and Brews every month since it opened four years ago and has played a ton of fests such as the West Virginia State Chili Championship, the Jewel City JAMboree, the Party on the Patio, Buddy's Bike Night and at Timberline Four Seasons Resort in Davis.
