Sounds on the Square will celebrate its fifth night of the 2024 season with The Ghosts of Liberty on Friday, September 6, on the Plaza of the Historic Henry County Courthouse, 1 East Main Street, 7-10 p.m.
Admission is free. Beginning at 6 p.m., Scuffle Hill Brewing Company will serve craft beers, and Buckin Good Eats & Lemonade will sell food.
Bring a lawn chair or blanket. Invite your friends and family for an evening of live music at Uptown Martinsville’s premier concert series.
Americana folk-rock act based in the foothills of North Carolina, The Ghosts of Liberty comprises husband and wife duo, Emma Millard (lead vocals, keyboard) and Tyler Millard (vocals, guitar) and Tyler’s father, Rich (keyboard). They bring together their combined influences of roots, blues, rock and soul, delivering a truly original package that could only be born of two people living and working under the same roof.
Tyler discovered his passion for music while losing his vision to RP, a degenerative retinal disease, and Emma comes from a background in multi-genre vocal performance, beginning with classical training at an early age. Ty’s steady and cool nature balance Em’s gutsy emotionality, and together they are a musical force.
They have been playing and writing together for the better part of a decade, and through many of life’s challenges have maintained a deep and abiding appreciation for how music and love can truly overcome any obstacle.
Coordinated by the Martinsville-Henry County Historical Society, Sounds on the Square is sponsored by Carter Bank & Trust, Children First Pediatrics, Deskins, Inc., The Estate & Elder Law Center of Southside Virginia, Hooker Furnishings, The Lester Group, New College Institute, and Sarver Cleaning Services.
A finalist in the Best of the Blue Ridge 2024 as Family Friendly Festival, Sounds on the Square is enjoyed by patrons of all ages, generations, and cultures.
This is the fourth year of the series and continues to be some of the most popular Uptown offerings generating vitality and community engagement.
