Troy Gatrell's latest project, Way, Shape, or Form, jammed the Roanoke Library on Thursday evening. On the video for below, the band, with Gatrell on drums and keys, comes off like a combination of Steve Khan and Incubus. That is actually a cool combination.
Look for the band's CD, "Trapezoid Campaign."

A while back, we ran a story on Chuck Love, a Salem resident who has been picking and singing for decades around here.
