Gap Civil

Gap Civil is an Appalachian Mountain Music band built on their motto of honor and innovate. They honor the mountain traditions that have shaped and rooted their music, and they take great pride in innovative and exciting original songs and tunes and arrangements. Fluidly blending the genres of old-time, country, bluegrass and Americana, their music is sure to 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.

Gap Civil was formed in 2017 based in Sparta, NC and features Todd Hiatt on guitar, Chris Johnson on banjo and bass, Lucas Pasley on fiddle and vocals, and Kyle Dean Smith on bass and lead guitar.

When they're not making music (which is not too often) Chris is pursuing his business career, Lucas is teaching English at Alleghany High School in Sparta, Kyle is wheeling and dealing on Facebook marketplace (check out his records), and Todd is keeping the roads safe with the NCDOT. But they try to keep that kind of work to a minimum to focus on the important things in life...dancing to fiddle tunes!

REX Theater

In 1940, the town of Galax was excited when the historic Rex Theater first opened it’s doors and the public rushed in. Operating as the only movie theater in the twin county area, many area youngsters and families grew up going to the Rex to see the latest Hollywood blockbusters.

Since 1940, the Rex has served as many things to the Galax community. Today, it is owned by the City of Galax, who has renovated it and made it an important part of the officially designated Historical Downtown area.
