Farm Vegas







Farm Vegas is an up-and-coming rock and roll quintet from the music-rich riverbeds of Richmond Virginia. Weaving elements of rock, soul, Americana, and blues into a musical tapestry all their own, Farm Vegas has crafted a unique sound that is at once modern yet classic, refreshing yet familiar. In a day and age when musical careers are launched by TV placements and best-selling singers don’t actually sing at all, Farm Vegas has avoided the shortcuts that jump-start but ultimately compromise a band’s career. Shying away from the traditional help of big management, radio airplay, and label support, the band has put together a fiercely-loyal regional following the old-fashion way-- by delivering electrifying live shows night after night-- one college at a time, one club at a time, one city at a time. Farm Vegas is a reminder that bands can still have successful careers away from the glare of the national spotlight.




Formed in 2005 while the guys were still in college, the band cut its teeth playing beer-soaked fraternity parties in basements and living rooms across Virginia. After graduation, the guys moved to Richmond, fine-tuned their craft, and quickly became one of the city’s biggest draws. In a short time, the band went from packing bars and mid-sized clubs in Richmond to headlining and nearly selling-out the city’s premiere venue – the 1500-capacity National Theater. Today, Farm Vegas is one of the most in-demand acts on college scene, playing nearly 100 dates a year. As the band has expanded regionally, they’ve been able to share the stage w/ notable peers like Drive-by-Truckers, Pat Green, Mofro, Carbon Leaf, Lucero, Pat McGee Band, Tea Leaf Green, and more.



Firework Show







Firework Show is a Charleston, SC based band pushing boundaries and combining influences across the spectrum of the progressive, jam, punk, and funk/soul scenes. At its essence, the band wants to create music that moves people to dance. While anchored down by solid songs and musical structure, the music also strives to create a spontaneous and transcendent experience for both band and audience. Simply put, this band can get you moving with tribal energy and let your mind wander through its music, but can bring you back down to earth with thoughtful lyrics and well planned compositions.
