We are stoked to announce that we will be rocking into 2025 with our annual NYE party and Chad Nickell & The Loose Change live on the #MartinsStage! The party kicks off at 10pm, and $15 gets you in at the door, along with a complimentary glass of champagne! There will be no advanced tickets for this event, and will be first come first served. We can’t wait to celebrate with you #Roanoke!
A Little About The Band:
Best described as “Appalachian Jam”, Chad Nickell & The Loose Change’s extensive self-written catalog beautifully meshes everything from heartfelt Americana/Folk (“Amazing”), roots-infused honky-tonk bangers (“Cry Me A River Song” and “Queen of a Small Town), as well as hip-shaking psychedelic jams (“Silhouette”). With no two shows ever being the same, Chad and the gang enthrall listeners with an unscripted yet charismatic and sonically charged performance weaving in and out of different genres, hence the name, “Loose Change”.
Hailing from the mountains of Alleghany County, Virginia, singer/songwriter, Chad Nickell, has been telling stories of love, folklore, and existentialism for the better part of two decades. After crossing paths with lead guitarist and vocalist, Daniel Jackson in 2015, the Loose Change was born. Shortly thereafter came Brandon “BT” Ross (drums/percussion), and Daniel Kuder (bass guitar, vocals).
Voted “Best Band” of Blue Ridge Outdoors Magazine’s “Best of the Blue Ridge” contest in 2021, Chad Nickell & The Loose Change have shared the stage with many regional & national acts along the way, including The Larry Keel Experience, Cracker, The Vegabonds, Joe Lawlor, Parmalee, Uncle Kracker, as well as making their Floydfest debut as part of the 2024 “Local Love” lineup. They were also favored enough to share the bill with heavy hitters such as Les Claypool, Big Something, Infamous Stringdusters, Sierra Hull, Andy Frasco and many more at 2023’s Mountain Music Fest.
