From the heart of Virginia and packing the heat of the American spirit comes a band that trades bullets for ballads and gun smoke for golden harmonies. The Sunslingers are blazing trails through the Americana landscape with fiddle fire, the rolling thunder of the upright bass, drums to bring the rain, and guitar lines that cut cleaner than a desert horizon.
Rooted in storytelling and raised on the rhythms of country, gypsy jazz, and roots rock, The Sunslingers bring you songs about love and loss, brotherhood and betrayal, glory and grit. These are not just songs—they’re saloon doors swinging open on your soul, and they’re best experienced live.
When The Sunslingers take the stage, you’re not just watching a show—you’re stepping into a new frontier. One where the only thing outlawed is ennui, and every chord carries the weight of redemption.

The Sugar Hollows is “some kind of rock band" from Richmond, VA. The band was formed in 2020 when Mike and Gabe became neighbors in an apartment complex during the nationwide lockdown and heard each other playing music through the walls one day. A few jam sessions here and there quickly became a number of gigs throughout Virginia and North Carolina where the two played covers by the likes of Jim Croce, Brent Cobb, Lord Huron, Kings of Leon, and everything in between. By 2022, they had recruited new members, Sean and Noah, to join their journey and released the band's first singles ‘Follow the River’ and 'Sweet Virginia Girl." Their debut self-titled album included 10 songs and was released in 2023.
After the release, which garnered some positive regional and national press, the band embarked on their maiden east coast tour with stops in every major city from Georgia to Delaware including Tennessee where they appeared on multiple festival lineups and radio shows.
The group's follow up sophomore album ‘Radio Waves’ was released in May of 2024 and included another 10 original songs that really began to identify who The Sugar Hollows are and the direction they are heading as they continue to explore new ways to communicate their music. 2025 sees The Sugar Hollows continuing to grow and playing their most notable shows yet including performances at FloydFest, Riverrock, and Altria Theater.
The Barons is a US alternative band comprised of lead singer and guitarist Peyton Alley, drummer Mathes Glymph, lead guitarist Josiah Ragland, and bassist Kirtland Gray. Forming in 2016, the Virginia natives’ repertoire include various sounds ranging from heavy-hitting indie rock to a lighter fair of introspective love songs. The band’s upcoming record "Le Chateau" embodies returning to death in nature and illustrates the contrast of beauty and destruction that lie in The Barons' sound. The Barons have supported some major alternative acts over the past few years such as Judah & The Lion, The Aces, Barns Courtney, and Catfish and the Bottlemen and amassed a large following on the East Coast headlining festivals and venues alike.
