Dinnertime pianist

Jazz

Adrienne Young has honed her alternately rustic and modern pop-bluegrass over three albums starting with a breakout performance at MerleFest 2003 and culminating with 2007’s Room To Grow.

Adrienne Young - All For Good

The Trinkets open.

Holiday tunes, mostly. Couldn’t get tickets to Mannheim Steamroller or Trans-Siberian Orchestra, eh? Sucka.

Fundraiser for art classes at Nelson County High School. Also featuring The Dotz Brothers and possibly others.

Holiday concert from the UVA group with carols and almost-carols like “White Christmas.”

Classic rock and Americana. Also featuring the Ryalls Brothers.

Local pop-rock singer-songwriter. Elephant Minor frontman Todd Binder and Richmond singer-songwriter Dean Fields open.

Alex Mejias - Everything

Eli Cook and his power trio fuse traditional blues with 90’s grunge-rock, and lately have also been tapping classic soul tunes for inspiration.

Rurally-minded indie-folk from Baltimore

Clarence Green’s long-running project plays island-addled pop and rock.

The DOWNbeat Project - I Want You [live at Is Venue]
The DOWNbeat Project - Heaven

Samba and Latin jazz

Beleza Brasil - Water To Drink
Beleza Brasil - Fever

Local blues band

The Chickenhead Blues Band - Talk To Me, Baby
The Chickenhead Blues Band - Glamour Girl
The Chickenhead Blues Band - Hunky Dorey
The Chickenhead Blues Band - Marvin’s Water

A Cosmonaut’s Ruin plays crunchy hard rock. Also featuring local punk rockers Worn In Red, crackling alt-rockers City Of Ships, and garage metal duo Kiste.

Worn In Red - Vital Joys
A Cosmonaut’s Ruin - Sanctum
A Cosmonaut’s Ruin - Sinking Of Elders

Raucous Cajun tunes all twisted up with punk

Jolie Fille - Lake Arthur Stomp

A white Christmas? Totally lame; almost humbug-worthy, even. Sunny retro pop-rockers In Technicolor react to the icy chill and lack of daylight by recruiting UVA a cappella chicks to back them on some X-mas music and putting Brad Savage in a Santa suit. Skip this at your own risk; Seasonal Affective Disorder is a bitch.

In Technicolor - Hey! It’s Your Birthday!
In Technicolor - Smile!
In Technicolor - Sunny Day Stars

Bluesy roots-rock

The Rogan Brothers - Into The Light
The Rogan Brothers - Heartbeat
The Rogan Brothers - Hang Tough
