The Kickstarter funded album Locust Avenue, by local folk group Nettles, is a rural Virginia creation through and through. The record was made in a farmhouse in Waynesboro that the band rented in exchange for a six-pack of Heineken. Led by Guion Pratt on acoustic guitar and vocals, Nettles went into seclusion for four days of recording, breaking only for an occasional dip in the river, a few hours of sleep and group efforts to liberate vehicles that had become stuck on the muddy road.
