MARTINSVILLE, Va. (July 1, 2026) — Franks + Dranks will serve up a summer evening packed with live music, great food, and good vibes from 6-9 p.m., Friday, July 17, at Piedmont Arts.

Local all-star chefs Shane Pinkston and Will Gravely will be cooking up hot dogs with all the fixings, plus chips, cookies, soft drinks, and water. Beer and wine will also be available for purchase at the cash bar.
