Get your love: Like so many of us during these past 14 months, The Judy Chops had questions, both candid and existential, about where the world was headed. The seven-piece band of family and friends channeled their uncertainty into music, and emerged to reintroduce Love Is the Answer, an upbeat record with deep Southern roots and irresistible grooves originally released in 2018. Horn-heavy tunes jump from soul to funk to rockabilly, and there’s even an a cappella take on the title track during which the band slows down to catch its collective breath. Cut loose with the Chops outdoors at the SummerStage series.
Friday 6/11, $30-100, 6pm. The Blackburn Inn and Conference Center, 301 Greenville Ave., Staunton. blackburn-inn.com/summerstage.
