DAVID BAZAN - http://www.davidbazan.com/
Though songwriter Dave Bazan fronts the enigmatic rock band Pedro the Lion, his emotionally charged narratives, eye for telling detail, and mournful voice have more in common with J.D. Salinger’s “Nine Stories” or Flannery O’Connor’s “Wise Blood” than with the usual lyrical slant of popular music. Bazan is a gifted storyteller, weaving parables of spiritual conflict, suburban ennui, and personal surrender into magnetic, well-crafted songs.
HEADLIGHTS - http://www.headlightsmusic.com/
awe at how deftly the band employs bells, organ swells, orchestral flourishes and stacked, co-ed “oohs” and “aahs” for instant indie-pop bliss. Occupying territory well marked by both predecessors (Lush, Stereolab) and contemporaries (Stars, Asobi Seksu), Some Racing, Some Stopping’s 10 tracks nonetheless stand out via good taste and attention to detail.

A funky quintet based out of Richmond, Virginia, the Modern Groove Syndicate has created a unique sound guaranteed to make your head spin, soul stir, and ass shake.
Their genre defying sound is a veritable gumbo of funk, jazz, latin, soul, hip-hop, and whatever else they might have been listening to that day. The Modern Groove Syndicate is primarily an instrumental group relying heavily on composition, improvisation, and their own unique brand of energy and individual talents to get their point across.
While the groups influences are all over the map, one can hear elements of P-Funk, John Cage, Brecker Brothers, the Crusaders, Jimmy Smith, and the Meters within their sound. Five musical powerhouses coming together to take the listener on a journey the likes of which he or she has never experienced before, that is the Modern Groove Syndicate.

“Denk’s sheer technical control was staggering, and he plunged through the work as if mentally body-surfing….The sound he produced was even more telling: crystal-clear, cool and rainbow-hued. This was a moment to treasure.” – Santa Fe New Mexican
American pianist Jeremy Denk is one of today's most compelling young artists. In 1998, he took first prize at the Young Concert Artists international auditions and received the prestigious Avery Fisher Career Grant and his career has continued to flourish during the past decade.
The New York Times describes Denk’s playing as "bracing, effortlessly virtuosic and utterly joyous” and the pianist, celebrated for his virtuosity in a wide range of genres, has garnered comparable critical acclaim for his performances with leading orchestras and presenters nationwide. Denk has appeared as soloist with the Philadelphia Orchestra, the St. Louis Symphony, the Houston Symphony, the San Francisco Symphony, the Atlanta Symphony, the Orpheus Chamber Orchestra and many others…

Over the last 15 years, Ben Folds’ first-class melodic gifts, irony-laced lyrics, and punk-rock tendency to play piano as if it were a contact sport have earned the North Carolina native a legion of devoted fans of all ages. These people, quite simply, are going to go nuts for Way To Normal. The album, Folds’ third solo studio release, is dominated by the kind of irresistible hooks and piano-pounding pandemonium that listeners haven’t been treated to since Folds’ years with his previous band, the platinum-selling Ben Folds Five.

Lord almighty, do they rock – in a gritty, unhinged, kind-of frightening manner. - Ben Rayner (Toronto Star)
Vancouver bombast-blues duo The Pack A.D. which, judging by the considerable buzz in the crowd afterward, pretty much blew the minds of everyone. Led by the scarily soulful dynamo known as Becky Black, the Pack A.D. was a two-woman demolition squad. If you didn't arrive a fan, you definitely left a true-blue convert. - Michael Usinger (Georgia Straight Magazine)

Woodall and the Positrons will also be recording their next full length album in Richmond at The Basement Studio and will be spinning some of their new songs on WRIR 97.3FM April 3 from 1pm-3pm.
A recent review of Brice’s Chicago performance -
“Bearded and beanied Brice Woodall emerged and without preface began weaving subtle electronic melodies into the atmosphere. His ethereal falsetto trailed over the synthesized walls of sound. Occasionally Woodall would sling his guitar over his shoulders and build chords over the ambience – never anything to disrupt the mood established by the keyboard, but adding just enough structure to build the songs up from their haunting primordial waves. Also a masterful whistler, Woodall ended up sounding a good deal like Andrew Bird
in space. Just being nearby felt like levitating across…

The roots of those mountains run deep in their music, drawing from so many genres that they create something transcendant. Moossa is ecclectic for sure - coherent, edgy and yes – cool.

The Heavy Pets are five South Florida musicians renowned for their explosive live performances and catchy original tunes that showcase a unique rock-fusion. The band is currently in San Francisco recording tracks for their forthcoming album. The past two years have been spent touring coast to coast supporting their 2007 double-disc album Whale. The debut album launched THP to the most played independent act on XM/Sirius' Jam_On station. Their contagious stage presence has made The Heavy Pets festival favorites at Bonnaroo, moe.down, Langerado, NO's Jazzfest and PetZoo! created in their namesake.
Called "a living, breathing, force of nature" by Dan Sweeny of Relix magazine, The Heavy Pets are a gateway along a musical journey crammed with hot electric licks, multi-climactic instrumental solos and fantastical lyrics, revealing inspired philosophical leanings.

They nail the blistering spins, the jump turns that corkscrew midair, the leaps that seem to sail on a breeze. It's a polished, spirited performance.” – Boston Globe
For the first time in its 50-year history, the acclaimed Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater brings its dazzling artistry to Richmond. Founded in New York City in 1958, the Ailey Company, known as “America’s Cultural Ambassadors,” has forever changed the perception of American dance.

This internationally acclaimed satiric comedy by Jean Giraudoux, written during the Nazi occupation of Paris, is a surprisingly timely play. Venture capitalists trample over rich and poor alike. Oil fuels war. Greed is good. Sound familiar? The Madwoman of Chaillot is a delicious fable about filthy-rich and corrupt wheeler-dealers who think they have discovered oil under the heart of Paris.
They're willing to destroy the city to harvest the black gold. But their plans are foiled by a marvelously eclectic band of Bohemians, beggars and slightly daffy street-folk. An incredibly funny and moving play filled with hope and light, and with a very contemporary bite!

This internationally acclaimed satiric comedy by Jean Giraudoux, written during the Nazi occupation of Paris, is a surprisingly timely play. Venture capitalists trample over rich and poor alike. Oil fuels war. Greed is good. Sound familiar? The Madwoman of Chaillot is a delicious fable about filthy-rich and corrupt wheeler-dealers who think they have discovered oil under the heart of Paris.
They're willing to destroy the city to harvest the black gold. But their plans are foiled by a marvelously eclectic band of Bohemians, beggars and slightly daffy street-folk. An incredibly funny and moving play filled with hope and light, and with a very contemporary bite!

"Németh is not only the fastest rising star on the national blues scene, he may be the best white blues singer in the history of the genre." - East Bay Express, Feb 2009
"You could swear he was freeze-dried in the 1960s, as the music has a driving, rock-'n'-soul punch that makes him seem spiritual kin to long-gone stompers Sam Cooke, Otis Redding and Jackie Wilson."
Jonathan Takiff - Philadelphia Daily News, Feb 2009

“An outstanding cellist and a really wonderful musician.” – Gramophone Magazine
Pieter Wispelwey is among the first of a generation of performers who are equally at ease on the modern or the period cello. His acute stylistic awareness, combined with a truly original interpretation and a phenomenal technical mastery, has won the hearts of critics and public alike in repertoire ranging from Johann Sebastian Bach to Elliott Carter.
Wispelwey’s career spans five continents, and he has appeared as soloist with many of the world’s leading orchestras. In 1992, he became the first cellist to receive the Netherlands Music Prize, awarded to the country’s most promising young musician. Wispelwey’s discography displays an impressive lineup of more than 20 recordings, six of which attracted major international awards.
