Purgatory Mountain is a band led by multi-instrumentalist and songwriter James Leva from Rockbridge County Virginia. In addition to being a thoughtful and poetic songwriter, James is very well versed in “Round Peak” and many other styles of old-time music learned from fiddler Tommy Jarrell and many other musicians of Tommy’s generation. He is joined by a group of startlingly talented young musicians whose skills, energy, love for the music, and great traditional dancing light up the stage.
The rest of the band is Danny Knicely, a fourth generation Appalachian multi-instrumentalist from a Virginia family steeped in mountain music tradition, and Al Tharpe, multi instrumentalist and armed force of the unnatural.
For this concert, they will be joined by Vivian Leva, daughter of James and Carol Elizabeth Jones.
