Virginia Ground LIVESTREAM @ Pisgah Brewing Co. 4-20-2019
Virginia Ground hails from the Birthplace of Country Music in the hills of Bristol, VA/TN and categorizes their sound in one word; Appalachiaphonic. It’s a funky melodic marriage rooted in soul, blues, bluegrass, reggae, country, Dixieland, jazz, rock, Americana, swing and more. When Jamen Denton’s fountain-esque songwriting, silky vocals and sultry guitar riffs collide with his ensemble of inventive musicians; Jon McGlocklin singing harmony vocals, Logan Fritz on bass and vocals, Kirk Bagnall on drums, Ben Smith on harmonica and Will Outlaw on trombone, they create a sound that is infectiously novel yet hauntingly familiar. The band’s music has and always will pay homage to the rich traditions that have long filtered through their part of the Appalachian mountains from all over the world…
