Todd Murray of Sincerely, Iris
Jul

Todd Murray of Sincerely, Iris

Sincerely, Iris consists of singer/songwriter Todd Murray. He has a sound that can be summed up best as “road trip music.” It’s a style that’s always changing, and always moving along. Whether it be gypsy-esque or like Kerouac's beat up old truck, shaking down the road at midnight, it is at once comforting, and somewhat unknown. Tom Petty meets Jeff Buckley on a homemade license plate guitar. He is sponsored by Breedlove Guitars. 

Todd's song "Just Like A Dog" was featured on the show Bellevue starring Anna Paquin.

His song "I'm Not the Same" was a finalist in the 2019 International Acoustic Music Awards.

He recently completed his new album, “I'm Not the Same." This is his 4th full length album under the name Sincerely, Iris.

"These are the perfect songs for the death scene of the Southern outlaw lying in the woods, mortally wounded, with a bottle of whiskey in hand." - RVA Magazine

Patagonia Provisions x Hardywood, Kernza Lager Release!

Kernza® Lager is back! Brewed in partnership with Patagonia Provisions, the food and beverage division of outdoor apparel company Patagonia, Kernza® Lager is a light, crisp, and malt-driven Lager.

Kernza, a deeply-rooted regenerative perennial grain, has the potential to transform the brewing industry. It stabilizes soil, requires minimal tilling, increases soil organic matter, and improves soil structure and water-holding capacity.  Ongoing research also shows that Kernza draws down and stores more carbon in the soil than annual grains. When used in beer, it adds a deliciously rich but subtle, nutty flavor.

Available on draft and 4-packs starting today at both locations!

LIVE MUSIC: Justin Paciocco of VILLAGES

LIVE MUSIC: Justin Paciocco of 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​

“These songs are easy to love right away, and while catchiness plays a part, I think an even bigger factor is the clarity of Justin Paciocco’s songwriting. The pacing, the rhyming, the way narratives unfold — it all just feels right. Impeccable, but not fussed-over.” - You Hear That 

V I L L A G E S  is what happens when a lifelong piano player has a midlife musical crisis, teaches himself guitar, writes 70+ songs in a little over a year, and then gets his super talented friends to make them sound cool.

"It's kind of an experiment that has gotten out of hand," says Justin Paciocco. "At first, I was looking for a new hobby and wondered if I could teach myself guitar. I figured it'd be something I'd play around with for a few weeks and then lose interest and move on to something else. Fast forward a year, and it's crazy to think I'm now fronting a new band, playing live shows, recording an album. This whole thing has been unexpected, but it's been a blast too."

Justin cut his teeth playing keyboards in the popular RVA jamband Farm Vegas.   When that band called it quits in 2012, a burned out Justin stepped away from music and  transitioned into "a more prototypical, 9 to 5 adult life."  It was several years later that Justin caught the "guitar bug" and became re-inspired and ready to start a new project.  The band -- known as VILLAGES -- includes a revolving collaboration of some of RVA's most plugged-in musicians, including Stephen Lecky (Farm Vegas), Chip Hale (Gone Country), Corey Wells (Cris Jacobs Band), Rich Stine (Full Moon Fever), Pat Dahlman, and Caroline Vain. Their folky, catchy debut EP was recorded with the help of Zach Fichter (Turkuaz) and Jeremy Simmons (Elephant Ear Studio), and was released in 2018.  They followed it up by releasing 2 singles in 2019, and plan on releasing a full album in early 2025.

Over the years, the band has played an impressive slate of shows, supporting nationally touring artists like Infamous Stringdusters, Yonder Mountain String Band, Del  McCoury Band, Dead Man Winter (Dave Simonette of Trampled By Turtles), Daniel Romano, ONA, The Vegabonds, Hackensaw Boys, and Larry Keel, at venues like The National, The Broadberry, The Camel, The Southern, and Strange Matter.
