Pressing Strings – Groove In The Gorge Music Series
June 29, 2024 – Bars & Doors at 5:00pm
An evening with Pressing Strings playing sweet music to rock your soul under the stars in the “heartbeat” of the New River Gorge National Park.
Fayetteville, WV – When music is given the benefit of instinct, imagination and inspiration, the results are guaranteed to be good. So, it ought to come as no surprise that the critically acclaimed Annapolis Maryland-based trio, appropriately dubbed Pressing Strings, has infused those elements within their musical mantra from the beginning. The band —Jordan Sokel (Guitar/Vocals), Nick Welker (Bass, Vocals), and Justin Kruger (Drums, Vocals) can trace its origins to Sokel’s initial fascination with some iconic influences, among them, the usual suspects — Dylan, Marley, Simon, Withers, Al Green, Marvin Gaye, Led Zeppelin, etc., as well as some more under the radar artists like Taj Mahal, R.L. Burnside, Junior Kimbrough, and Nick Drake.
Come for the music, Stay for the Community – “Where Wild Meets Wonderful”
