The Currys

The Currys have been staking their claim within the indie music scene since 2013, when vocalist/guitarist Tommy Curry quit his teaching job and moved to Charlottesville, Virginia, to join the harmony-based folk-rock outfit newly formed by brother Jimmy Curry (vocals, guitar) and cousin Galen Curry (vocals, bass). The band have since written and released several full-length albums, including: their debut Follow (2014), called “eye-opening, but warmly familiar” by Earmilk, and whose title track is “one of the most beautiful pieces of music I’ve ever heard” (Todd Moe of NCPR); sophomore effort West of Here (2016), with its “tight-as-a-rubber-band” harmonies and “infectious” songwriting (PopMatters); and the expansive, self-produced This Side of the Glass (2019). 

In 2024, The Currys began to offer international music tours, with an eye toward helping fans explore new destinations and enjoy intimate performances along the way. To date, the trio has led several trips to Cuba, Guatemala, and the Galapagos. The Currys also released a holiday album in November 2024 entitled Christmas with The Currys, featuring both original music and old classics. The band is currently writing and recording their fifth full-length studio album.

Theocles & The Muses

Soul, folk, and pop blend together seamlessly to create the catchy grooves of Theocles & the Muses. Driven by the ear-worm melodies and powerful vocals of Richmond songwriter Theocles, the Muses deliver high energy original jams that will both get you on the dance floor and speak to your soul. Belted harmonies, bluesy guitar solos, and high-flying fiddle riffs are just some of the joyous sounds you can expect to hear. Don’t be surprised when some of these tunes get stuck in your head!
