Big Fancy is a groove pop band based in Richmond, VA. Their tasty jams are always served with style, and each show fuels their love and desire to groove. Their cherry logo represents their music quality - sweet with an aroma that makes you want to get up and dance. The band likes to keep it fresh with original songs like “Loverboy” and “All In”, and they can’t wait for you to hear more! 

I believe that music should move the listener. I believe that music should captivate the listener. The music that I make is created with the intention of making you feel something. Not necessarily what I'm feeling, but something...anything. 

Music can preserve a memory just like the rest of our senses. Whether it's the strain of the voice, the feel of the drums, the warmth of the bass, everyone has that one song that when they hear it, they're transported to a different time and place. I want my music to take you wherever you want to go. 

Support live music, support local music, support the groove.

On the road and keeping busy with Karen Jonas, Cassidy Snider & the Wranglers, Jonathan Paige Brown Jr., and many more!

About Kelly Jones

Kelly is a Richmond native who recently moved back after living in Austin, Texas for the last decade. Kelly's yoga practice began slowly at the Midlothian YMCA in her early teens and continued through her time at VCU. After graduating she was lackadaisical about her practice until 2017 when a fire was lit through her discovery of hot power vinyasa. Yoga quickly went from once a month practice to daily practice. Yoga began to transform her life in ways she'd never imagined. It created a space for self-awareness, healing, and growth that came exactly when she needed it.
Kelly recognized what a crucial part yoga began to play in her life physically, mentally, spiritually, while also providing her with the most beautiful new community. She then knew that it set her soul on fire to spread this passion in an attempt to impact just one person the way yoga had changed her life for the good. In 2018 Kelly became a registered 200-hour hot power yoga teacher with Corepower Yoga and has consistently continued her education since through various yoga schools.

Upon returning to Richmond Kelly went on a search for the right studio to call home, trying nearly every studio she could find. From her very first class at 3S she knew she had found her home!

Kelly hopes to bring her students closer to their highest selves beginning on their mat. She encourages growth of the physical and spiritual self and practices presence through breath in her flows. She loves to incorporate her vast love for music into her classes.

Throughout the session, you'll also have the opportunity to paint on three pre-drawn designs printed on watercolor paper. These drawings serve as your creative foundation, offering a perfect balance between structure and freedom. You'll be able to add your personal flair, whether you want to stay true to the design or use your techniques to make it uniquely yours.

By the end of the workshop, you'll not only have gained a deeper understanding of watercolor techniques but also a renewed confidence in using them creatively. You'll leave with three completed pieces of art, new skills, and the excitement to keep exploring watercolor painting on your own!

No prior experience is required—just bring your enthusiasm and creativity!

Big Red & The Cowboy Killers hails from Richmond, Virginia and brings a storm of psychedelic rock. They bring a mix of powerful lead vocals, thundering-rock, jazz, and R&B to the forecast with the possibility of choice covers. Keeping it spacey and smooth in the high register is the powerful lead guitar combo of Will Taylor and Vincent Steenburgh. On the low end, you will find Aaron Wright keeping things grooving. On the kit, you will find none other than the legendary Mook.

Disco Risqué spent the past ten years discovering its live sound across the country; high energy tunes, screaming guitar solos, fast drum and bass breaks, big horn and keys riffs…they’d found their style.  So in the summer of 2023 the band holed up to record what would become the defining recorded sound of Disco Risqué, an album known to the world now as Evil on Tape.

Recorded at Dave Matthews’ illustrious Haunted Hollow studios, Evil on Tape displays a total maturation of songwriting and arranging from the band.  Delivering 5 singles including a cover of Pink Floyd’s “Have A Cigar” the album showcases a moodier, more serious and arguably romantic side of the band that listeners have likely not seen or heard before.  You’ll still get a big chunk of the old school hairbrained progressive rock writes in songs like “Death Waltz” and “Ketamine Karate” but also a more focused serious side of the band with new singles like “Burnadetta” and the album’s eponymous single “Evil on Tape.”

However, not everything is new about Disco Risqué in 2024, you’ll still see the same familiar faces smiling down at you from the stage.  Charlie Murchie (guitar), Robert “Slim” Prescott (Drums), Ryan “Swimsuit” Calonder (vocals/trumpet), Andrew “The Champ” Hollifield (Bass), and Sean Hodge (Keys) ARE Disco Risqué, and they’re out there keeping the funky rock n roll dance party of America alive!  Keep your eyes peeled and your ear to the ground, cause they're coming to a town near you!

Join us the 2nd and 4th Wednesday of the month, on the Deck, for an open RVA Old-Time Jam!

The RVA Old-Time Jam has been running for 10+ years, and is a place for the community of Richmond and nearby areas to gather to play music together! We play mostly Old-Time Appalachian music with its roots in pre-bluegrass dance music. The jam is open to players of varying levels and ages who play acoustic stringed instruments, such as fiddle, banjo, guitar, mandolin, and bass.

Tin Can Fish Band started as the duo TinFish in 2006, with acoustic singer songwriter Steve Fisher and longtime friend, Colonial Williamsburg tavern musician, and mandolin / fiddle player, Doug Austin. While primarily performing Steve's original songs, TCFB draws from a wide variety of folk, rock and roots material ranging from public domain and Bluegrass to Americana and World music, as well as works written and performed by various TCFB members. ​Drummer and percussion player Jack Taggart and (Circuit Rider/Single Bullet Theory) bassist and longtime musical cohort, Keith MacPhee combined with TinFish to form TIN CAN FISH BAND in 2012, and the band was off and running. Veteran Richmond guitar favorite John Leedes (King Solomon's Marbles/Squalor Hollow Boyz/Blue Line Highway, Kooler Heads, and CLJ) joined TCFB in November 2013 followed by Joe Conner (Blues Cats, Blue Line Highway) on Accordion and keys in 2014 to complete the unique acoustic electric blend. After steadily performing for over 10 years and putting out 3 CDs, Tin Can Fish Band's infectious spirit, engaging shows and distinctive musicianship is cultivating a strong following in central Virginia and beyond.

Rooted in blues tradition, Sammy Lee has a soul that wails. Cadence-driven, acoustically inclined, Motown folk is showcased in his pristine and energetic performances, with stylistic nods towards the cities that have provided him with his unique sound. Many vocalists of closely related genres seem tepid and soft spoken by comparison. Sammy offers a shock to the system with a skilled and polished delivery that provides a glimpse into the expertise developed over the many evolutions his career has endured. Over a decade of vocal expertise allows this rough and dirty baritone to stun audiences with a range that bewilders, a devastatingly honest lyrical vulnerability, and a power and range that leaves Sammy in a category all his own. Needing no pretense and no disguise, Sammy’s show is a stripped down and naked performance by design. His thoughts in a world of processed and filtered pretenders?  Less is more, passion speaks for itself, and authenticity reigns.

Join us for some tunes in the Barrel Room! Justin is the guitarist from Richmond faves Villages.

“Part Americana, part neo-'70s folk rock, the band draws inspiration from classic artists such as the Flying Burrito Brothers and Bob Dylan as well as more modern groups Wilco and Futurebirds.” – Style Weekly
