From The Camel’s Beers and Banjos Night

Posted on December 1, 2013 by Scott

RVA Magazine recently reviewed a night at The Camel. Here’s a portion:

Beers and Banjos night features a different band every Friday, typically in the folk music genre. This week the band was Birdseye Speedwell. Birdseye Speedwell is a family band, comprised of Hannah Rucker, her parents (James and Anne Rucker), her aunt (Laura Kinnaman), and her uncle (Bruce Blizard). The family “started playing while living together locally in Oregon Hill,” but this was their first gig together in front of an audience at a venue–not that you’d notice. The band members played an array of instruments: guitars, fiddles, banjo, washboard, a bongo drum, and acabasa.
