From SRV and Rory Gallagher to Led Zeppelin and Bruce Springsteen\, with a fiery live show and songwriting depth that is refreshing to fans of American Blues Rock. \nRosano’s 2017 self released record “Anthony Rosano and the Conqueroos” debuted at #9 on Billboard and made #1 on the iTunes blues chart\, dethroning The Rolling Stones. The record was produced by Mike Zito and featured guest performances by Zito\, Anders Osborne\, and Johnny Sansone. Extensive touring and live shows followed\, culminating in 2019 With Rosano and his “Conqueroos” joining the legendary Bob Seger for a string of opening shows across the eastern United States and Canada. \n“I want to be an on ramp to the Blues.” Drawing from his influences Rosano mixes traditional Blues and Roots elements with a modern Rock delivery. “You see all sorts of music fans at the shows\, from Blues Aficionados to long hairs with Metallica T-shirts. If I can get that dude in a Metallica shirt to listen to Muddy Waters\, I feel like I am working off a debt to the genre.” This Diversity in appeal has led to slots at LOCKN\, Western Maryland Blues Fest\, and Madison Square Garden. Opening for artists like Samantha Fish and Tab Benoit to Bob Seger \, ZZ Top\, and Gov’t Mule. \nDuring the 2020 lockdown Anthony continued to live stream acoustic shows to his fans through Facebook. “I did it at first just to stay sane\, performing live is something I NEED to do… It’s part of my makeup. I hoped it would help others get some sort of comfort and forget about what was going on for a little bit.” The streams were a success and one of the new songs “Isolation Blues” ended up being used by NPR for “Voice of America”. Other songs followed and along with a new trio\, an EP is in the works for 2021. “I’m really digging the Power Trio format” says Rosano\, “These guys are great to play with and the live shows have been straight FIRE!” \n\n \n \n  \n\n\n$75.00 – $130.00 \nBuy now\n\n\n

SUMMARY:The Reverend Peyton's Big Damn Band
DESCRIPTION:$20.00 \nBuy now\n\n\n  \nNASHVILLE\, Tenn. — The latest album from Reverend Peyton’s Big Damn Band was written by candlelight and then recorded using the best technology available . . . in the 1950s. \nBut listeners won’t find another album as relevant\, electrifying and timely as Dance Songs for Hard Times. \nDance Songs for Hard Times conveys the hopes and fears of pandemic living. Rev. Peyton\, the Big Damn Band’s vocalist and world-class fingerstyle guitarist\, details bleak financial challenges on the songs “Ways and Means” and “Dirty Hustlin’.” He pines for in-person reunions with loved ones on “No Tellin’ When\,” and he pleads for celestial relief on the album-closing “Come Down Angels.” \nFar from a depressing listen\, Dance Songs lives up to its name by delivering action-packed riffs and rhythms across 11 songs. The country blues trio that won over crowds on more than one Warped Tour knows how to make an audience move.\n“I like songs that sound happy but are actually very sad\,” Peyton says. “I don’t know why it is\, but I just do.” \nOf course\, the greatest front-porch blues band in the world found itself sidelined from a relentless touring schedule because of the coronavirus pandemic. Peyton says he was surprised when his mind and soul unleashed a batch of new songs in March and April of 2020. \n“I think it was the stress of everything\,” he says. “At the time\, we were watching everything we know crash down. I didn’t know what was going to happen with our career\, with our house\, with food\, with anything.” \nPeyton wasn’t alone in uncertainty. It’s a feeling that gripped the world. Added to Peyton’s concerns were a lingering illness — perhaps undiagnosed COVID-19 — affecting “Washboard” Breezy Peyton\, his wife and Big Damn Band member\, as well as a cancer diagnosis for his father. A metaphorical wallop arrived when unpredictable weather in the rustic wilds of Southern Indiana knocked out power at the Peytons’ 150-year-old log cabin. For multiple days. \nWhile Breezy rested and recovered\, Peyton crafted songs in near darkness. \n“It’s been a struggle the entire time\,” he says. “Nothing’s been easy. Other than the music. The music came easy.” \n“Too Cool to Dance” might be interpreted as the album’s centerpiece for its message of not taking things for granted. The seize-the-moment anthem offers the chorus\, “We may not get another chance. Oh\, please don’t tell me you’re too cool to dance.” \n“I was thinking about all the times where I’ve been somewhere and felt too cool to dance\,” Peyton says. “I didn’t want to be that way. Not being able to do anything last year\, I had this feeling of\, ‘Man\, I’m not going to waste any moment like this in my life — ever.’ ” \nPeyton\, the cover subject of Vintage Guitar magazine’s January 2020 issue\, showcases his remarkable picking techniques on “Too Cool to Dance.” It’s rare to hear a fingerstyle player attack Chuck Berry-inspired licks with index\, middle and ring fingers while devoting his or her thumb to a bass line. Yet the multi-tasking Peyton has made an art of giving the illusion he’s being accompanied by a bass player\, despite the Big Damn Band’s roster featuring no one beyond himself\, Breezy on washboard and Max Senteney on drums. \n“Too Cool to Dance” heats up thanks to Peyton’s 1954 Supro Dual Tone electric guitar. Once known exclusively for playing acoustic guitar in the country-blues tradition of Mississippi icons Charley Patton and Bukka White\, Peyton has seemingly migrated north and plugged in with Chicago giants Howlin’ Wolf and Muddy Waters. \n“It’s crazy\,” Peyton says of “Too Cool to Dance.” “It almost feels like a song from the 1950s that’s been lost. At the end of the day\, it still somehow feels like us.” \nTo document the livewire immediacy of Dance Songs for Hard Times\, the Big Damn Band — including a healthy Breezy — made a pandemic road trip to Nashville to record with producer Vance Powell (four-time Grammy Award winner whose resume includes work with Chris Stapleton and Jack White). \nPeyton embraced Powell’s suggestion to turn back the clock and record no more than eight tracks of audio to analog tape. Minimal overdubs are heard on Dance Songs for Hard Times\, and Peyton sang while playing guitar live in the studio. \n“Vance likes the gear that I like\,” Peyton says. “And he has a bunch of cool gear I would only have in my wildest dreams.” \nVisually\, Dance Songs for Hard Times is led by a video to accompany the song “Ways and Means.” Defined by pastel colors and confident dance moves\, the video was made at an old-school laundromat to match the song’s Bo Diddley-boasting on a limited budget: “My knife is sharp\, my guitar never flat … king of the laundromat.” \nAs Peyton says\, it’s difficult to create blues music that isn’t personal. \n“The song ‘Ways and Means’ was written for all those folks who have the moves\, the style\, the substance\, the talent\, but maybe not the seed money or the famous last name\,” Peyton says. “All those people who had to work extra hard because they didn’t get to start way ahead. Folks who have been playing catch-up since they were born and had to get really good just to make it to zero.” \nAs 2020 progressed\, Peyton’s father was declared free of cancer following surgery. A new Patreon page (http://www.Patreon.com/bigdamnband) helped the band connect with fans and make up some lost wages. \nAnd Big Damn Band supporters around the world checked in monthly for pay-what-you-can livestream performances that originated at the Peytons’ log cabin. \nConditions aren’t ideal when compared to pre-pandemic adventures that allowed the Big Damn Band to play for audiences in nearly 40 countries. But those days will return\, and in the meantime we have Dance Songs for Hard Times. \n“Despite the hardships of this moment in history\, it created this music that I hope will maybe help some people through it\,” Peyton says. “Because it helps me through it to play it.” \n \n  \n \n  \n\n\n$20.00 \nBuy now\n\n\n

SUMMARY:Chatham Rabbits
DESCRIPTION:$20.00 \nBuy now\n\n\n  \nAs one of North Carolina’s most beloved roots music outfits\, Chatham Rabbits has swiftly emerged from the fertile Americana scene in the Triangle. The husband-and-wife duo of Sarah and Austin McCombie favors rustic\, minimalist acoustic arrangements—mainly clawhammer-style banjo and guitar that showcase deftness and maturity with their songwriting.

SUMMARY:Virginia Homegrown Festival
DESCRIPTION:$30.00 \nBuy now \n\n\n  \nVirginia Homegrown is a festival to celebrate all things Virginia. It is a day full of Virginia music\, vendors\, products\, food\, beverages\, exhibits\, demonstrations and fun for the whole family. Immerse yourself in everything you love about Virginia because Virginia is for lovers!\nHere is the music lineup: \n-Kyle Davis: There was a sheer exhilaration spawning a career that netted Davis success early on. He began recording in his early 20s\, spawning a string of albums — Kyle Davis\, Waiting For You\, Raising Heroes\, Don’t Tell the World\, and River City Gang — that effectively expressed a keen sense of melody\, infectious energy and hooks that sank in quickly and refused to let go. Single “Buried Alive\,” released by Sony Records\, became both a fan favorite and critical sensation. Billboard magazine called him “One of the best unsigned artists and featured him on the cover.” Rolling Stone gave Raising Heroes four stars. Although he’s been described as a cross between Jackson Browne\, David Gray\, Peter Gabriel and Mat Kearney\, he remained his own man\, a singular talent with an extraordinary gift for conveying sentiments that are impossible to deny and even more difficult to resist. \nHe eventually came to the attention of Sony Records and producers Phil Ramone via Don Dixon\, two men whose reputations ranks high on the music business pantheon. Dixon produced R.E.M.\, the Smithereens\, Marshall Crenshaw\, and Tommy Keene\, among many. Ramone’s accomplishments were even more legendary\, given that he counted among his clients Paul McCartney\, Bob Dylan and Billy Joel\, Paul Simon. After driving to Bedford NY to Ramone’s house and playing for him in his living room\, Ramone said\, “I cant say you’re going to be a huge star but I said we’re going to make a great record and we certainly did.” \n \n  \n \n-Jackie & Resa: Jackie & Resa\, known by some as two-thirds of M.S.G. Acoustic Blues Trio\, have over the years developed their own unique sound. Jackie the songwriter/multi-instrumentalist and Resa the arranger/vocalist\, together they bring a distinctive blend of creativity to the acoustic blues community.\nIn 2010\, Jackie and Resa were accepted into the Library of Congress “Americana Women: Roots Musicians – Women’s Tales and Tunes” as part of the MusicBox Project collection (some of which has been catalogued in the American Folklife Center). \n \n-The Tidewinders: The Tidewinders play hard-driving bluegrass\, poignant ballads\, and classic favorites. Featuring the traditional instrumentation of banjo\, fiddle\, mandolin\, guitar\, dobro\, and bass\, The Tidewinders’ sound is classic bluegrass with modern flair. \n \n  \n \n-Tin Can Fish Band: Tin Can Fish Band started as the duo TinFish in 2006\, with acoustic singer songwriter Steve Fisher and long time friend\, Colonial Williamsburg tavern musician\, and mandolin fiddle maestro\, Doug Austin. While primarily performing Steve’s original songs\, TCFB draws from a wide variety of folk\, rock and roots material ranging from public domain and Bluegrass to Americana and World music\, as well as works written and performed by various TCFB members. \n​Drummer and percussion player Jack Taggart and (Circuit Rider/Single Bullet Theory) bassist and long time musical cohort\, Keith MacPhee combined with TinFish to form TIN CAN FISH BAND in 2012\, and the band was off and running. Veteran Richmond guitar favorite John Leedes (King Solomon’s Marbles/Squalor Hollow Boyz/Blue Line Highway) joined TCFB in November 2013 followed by Joe Conner (Blues Cats\, Blue Line Highway) on Accordion and keys in 2014 to complete the unique acoustic electric blend.

From SRV and Rory Gallagher to Led Zeppelin and Bruce Springsteen\, with a fiery live show and songwriting depth that is refreshing to fans of American Blues Rock. \nRosano’s 2017 self released record “Anthony Rosano and the Conqueroos” debuted at #9 on Billboard and made #1 on the iTunes blues chart\, dethroning The Rolling Stones. The record was produced by Mike Zito and featured guest performances by Zito\, Anders Osborne\, and Johnny Sansone. Extensive touring and live shows followed\, culminating in 2019 With Rosano and his “Conqueroos” joining the legendary Bob Seger for a string of opening shows across the eastern United States and Canada. \n“ I want to be an on ramp to the Blues.” Drawing from his influences Rosano mixes traditional Blues and Roots elements with a modern Rock delivery. “You see all sorts of music fans at the shows\, from Blues Aficionados to long hairs with Metallica T-shirts. If I can get that dude in a Metallica shirt to listen to Muddy Waters\, I feel like I am working off a debt to the genre.” This Diversity in appeal has led to slots at LOCKN\, Western Maryland Blues Fest\, and Madison Square Garden. Opening for artists like Samantha Fish and Tab Benoit to Bob Seger \, ZZ Top\, and Gov’t Mule. \nDuring the 2020 lockdown Anthony continued to live stream acoustic shows to his fans through Facebook. “I did it at first just to stay sane\, performing live is something I NEED to do… It’s part of my makeup. I hoped it would help others get some sort of comfort and forget about what was going on for a little bit.” The streams were a success and one of the new songs “Isolation Blues” ended up being used by NPR for “Voice of America”. Other songs followed and along with a new trio\, an EP is in the works for 2021. “I’m really digging the Power Trio format” says Rosano\, “These guys are great to play with and the live shows have been straight FIRE!” Anthony is looking forward to taking the Trio on the road with select festivals booked for 2021 and more on the horizon. \n \n  \n \n  \n\n\n$30.00 \nBuy now\n\n\n
