Starting in May this year, Big City Band started their tour, featuring performances at local lawn parties and other special events throughout Virginia.
“I’ve seen them in many places around the area and they draw quite the crowd,” said community member Rochelle Long. “I think this summer tour was a real hit for the band that got them a lot of attention from locals.”
Their Dayton concert featured covers of The Rolling Stones and Wilson Pickett and a few of their original hits.
“They have a few originals but it’s not what they usually sing,” said Long. “What I like about them is that they change their set depending on the crowd and where they’re at.”
The Grottoes based band has been voted as the Shenandoah Valley’s top five band every year since 2020 due to their unique performances and dedicated fans, called the BCB Strangers.
“I’ve been a fan of them I think back since they started,” said Long. “Even though they all sing, I typically like when the guitar player sings. My favorite place I’ve seen them play is probably Cave Hill because they have lots of lights and a bigger show.”
The band is working to release their debut EP in the On Saturday, Sept. 23, the band will be performing at Cave Hill Brewery in McGaheysville starting at 6:30 p.m. More information about the band can be found on their website.
