Sauna Mountain Valley brings ‘Porch & Parlor Rock & Roll’ to Louisa

What unites Sauna Mountain Valley (SMV) is not the routine of another gig to pay the bills, but a love of what is created when seven musicians come together and create music. SMV plays their self-described “Porch & Parlor Rock & Roll” to almost exclusively Louisa audiences at places like Obrigado, Everleigh Vineyards, and The Cooling Pond, but it’s their band arrangement — three married couples, a mix of professional musicians and people who just love to create music — that adds to their overall sound.
