River RatsThe River Rats formed in Asheville around early 2011 as a street busking project.  Jumpstarted from several songs written by local singer/songwriter Andrew Scotchie, The River Rats have evolved from a stripped down guitar and harmonica duo between Scotchie and other local player Andrew Adams to a full on rock/soul and blues outfit.  The band is: Andrew Scotchie on guitar/vocals, Jordan Miller on bass/vocals, Eliza Hill on drums, Andrew Adams on harmonica/saxophone, Kyle Snuffer on Trombone and Alex Bradley on trumpet.   Together this 6 piece creates a wall of sound that gets the...

Woody PinesWoody Pines brings that low-key street corner style of performance to his stage show, but with all the polish and seasoned professionalism of a tour-bus-and-green-room rock stardom. If Pines’ elegantly-disheveled fedora and vintage resonator guitar don’t set the mood (both are strongly suggestive of the musician’s mix of ragtime, country blues and lightning-speed folk), the backing band does the trick. Crackerjack musicianship goes a long way toward a band’s greatness, but showmanship seals the deal. Pines, on stage, is an old soul and natural performer, storied and steeped in...

PBR was born in a bright green room full of beer cans and cigarette butts that you could piss on from the edge of the James River. Tim Beavers and Matt Volkes, though raised in the same Richmond suburb, were infrequent acquaintances until they found one another in the same confusing struggle of city-life, college, and drugs. It took the suicide of a common best-friend to get the two into that shitty green room in the home they shared; but when they did, the feeling was instant. They were beaten, disoriented, unhappy, addicted, and dying to do something creative. They started...
