Gap Civil’s motto is honor and innovate. We honor the mountain traditions that have shaped us as people and musicians; we innovate with pride and excitement in our songwriting and unique arrangements. In our music you’ll find the sounds of old-time, country, bluegrass, Americana, and gospel with a hearty dose of original tunes and songs. We hope our music will make you want to dance, whether that’s hitting the floor with a driving flatfoot or pulling that special someone close with a honky-tonk two-step.

Appalachian history comes to life among the ridgetop meadows and steep mountainsides of Doughton Park. Hike some of the 30 miles of trails here or visit Brinegar Cabin, a well-preserved piece of early mountain life. Doughton Park is also home to the iconic Bluffs Restaurant, which has welcomed generations of travelers to the Blue Ridge Parkway for more than 60 years. Milepost Music concerts are held the second Sunday of the month in the grassy area in front of the Bluffs Restaurant.
