For those of you who can’t get enough bluegrass in your life, when banjo thursdays at SOVA Wine and Espresso just aren’t enough, there is tonight at Velvet Lounge. SOVA perennial performers Extension Agents will be performing tonight at the Velvet Lounge tonight, preceded by the Hangin’ Rounders and followed by an open jam session. Doors open at 7:30 and there’s a $5 cover charge.  If even this is not enough to quench your desire for a tall glass of fiddle, SOVA is hosting West Virginia Fiddle Champion Chance McCoy this Saturday night at 8 p.m. There is also a $5 cover for that show.
