2nd SHIFT Concert: Peter Mulvey & Jenna Nicholls Present: Floyd Mercantile

Mulvey and Nicholls are only doing a handful of live dates to support this new project Peter Mulvey, a veteran of the 2nd SHIFT Music Series, is no stranger to working at a scale that feels both intimate and timeless. Along with golden-voiced chanteuse Jenna Nicholls, the pair convened in rural Floyd, Virginia, for five days of remote recording in an old general store that lends this joint project its name. Their original compositions commingle with selections from the Great American Songbook (“Skylark,” “I’ll Be Seeing You”) as seamlessly and effortlessly as the charming blend of Mulvey’s smoky growl and Nicholls’ effervescent melodies. This collaboration explores a shared musical moment and documents an artistic conversation that spans eras and genres, embodying something utterly fresh, inviting, and new. Mulvey and Nicholls are only doing a handful of live dates to support this new project, and we are honored to host them as part of our 2nd SHIFT Music Series fall 2026 season.
