Charlie Hunter is a rare specimen in the guitar world. His main instrument is a bass/guitar hybrid, with which he sounds like two players, sometimes like three. His style incorporates jazz, soul, blues, funk, Latin and other grooves, along with their requisite melodies and harmonies. He nails them all. Such expertise has put him in a position to play with a wide variety of musicians coming from a broad array of styles. His Southwest Virginia fans have been able to hear him cross that expanse over the past decade or so in shows at Jefferson Center, the old Kirk Avenue Music Hall, 5 Points Music Sanctuary and the town of Floydâs Small Town Summer event. When he returns to Floyd on Thursday, as part of a trio opening for Americana singer/songwriter Amythyst Kiah, heâll be doing something he hasnât done previously in this neck of the woods â sacred steel guitar music.
