Hackers & Duffers: Rotoglow features RCA signed singer/song writer and rockin’ front man, Andrew Hellier. The songs are great, and so are his vocals. Elephant Boy, also a legendary rock band of Fredericksburg,  has  toured the nation,  and returns to play select shows such as Celebrate Virginia Live. This is a rare and rockin’ opportunity.  The night will bring you a night of PRO music and performances. The Dixie Power Trio and local blues favorites, The Blues Buckets, open.

: The Idiomatics is a dynamic Indie Rock trio fronted by singer Michael Geddes, accompanied by bass player and harmony star “Raf”, and drummer, Brian.  This Indie Rock band has played all over Virginia, including Fairfax’s premier national Indie venue, Jammin’ Java. They recently released a new EP called Star King, featuring several fantastic tunes, including “Connect the Dots,” and other fantastic tunes. Pop rockers Deep Space Network and folk singer/song writer Alex Culbreth open.

 Yes. Fredericksburg’s hottest reggae band, with local music stars Jay Starling, John Buck, Mo, Larry Hinkle, and Mark D (who have all shared a stage with national acts, including Fredericksburg’s own jam hero, Keller Williams) will jam it out in a great room, with great vibes!
