Concert by Mon Rovîa, an Afro-Appalachian folk project from Chattanooga, presented by Hot Luck.
Mon Rovîa plays Mohawk Austin on Friday, October 16, 2026, at 8 PM. The show is presented by Hot Luck, and it follows Giddy Up, the food event that runs that Friday night. If you're planning to do both, a Whole Enchilada Pass covers both the food events and the music.
Mon Rovîa comes from Chattanooga, Tennessee, and plays an Afro-Appalachian folk sound grounded in storytelling. The set blends personal experiences with messages of healing, so the songs tend to lean more on the narrative than on a hook. It's the kind of music that asks you to listen to the words as much as the melody.
That storytelling is the core of the sound. The Afro-Appalachian folk tradition pulls from the roots of the American South, and Rovîa keeps that front and center, with the songs built around stories and the personal details that ground them. The healing element comes through in the way those stories are told—not just as a recounting of things that happened, but as a way of working through them.

Since the show is presented by Hot Luck, it's part of a larger weekend of food and music in the city. The Giddy Up event happens that same Friday night, and the Whole Enchilada Pass is the way to get into both the food and the music without buying separate tickets. Mon Rovîa takes the stage at 8 PM at Mohawk Austin.
