    Sol Driven Train with James Justin & Co @ Kirk Avenue, 22 Kirk Avenue SW, Roanoke VA 24011
    Saturday: 8:00 pm – 8:00 pm


    *THIS SHOW HAS BEEN MOVED TO MARTINS FOR MARTIN – FEST 2013*

    Sol Driven Train’s music weaves through genres like images in a Tom Robbins paragraph. The band’s sonic schizophrenia absorbs songwriting influences like John Prine and Paul Simon, afrocaribbean rhythmic explorations, and funky New Orleans-style brass into earnest songs of life, love, loss, and long johns. The versatile 5-piece band, based in Charleston, SC, features rotating lead vocalists, and multi-instrumental talent spread across horns, strings, and percussion. Combining rich varieties of American pop and folk music into their own port-town sound, Sol Driven Train has carved out a unique musical identity within the burgeoning roots music scene.

    During the spring of 2000, a close circle of friends and family began gathering in college apartments downtown Charleston to create sound and share in the joy of music. Through the course of over 12 years and over 1,000 live shows, this same spirit still guides Sol Driven Train through the rocky road of the music industry. The venues have grown from bedrooms to festival stages, the amps have gotten louder, the lineup has evolved, and the crowds have multiplied, but the sense of brotherhood, mutual support, and musical independence within the band has strengthened. Through hard work and a commitment to live performance, the band’s reputation and collective musical ability has grown with every season. Named 2011’s “Rock Band of the Year” by the Charleston City Paper, and “On the Verge” by Relix Magazine in January 2012, Sol Driven Train is an independent band breaking into the national spotlight. Nine independent releases including two critically-acclaimed albums for children, a live concert DVD, a live album, four full-length studio albums, and last summer’s popular “Watermelon” EP document the band’s winding musical development. The band’s loyal fans recently funded the release ofSol Driven Train’s upcoming full-length album, Underdog, due out in 2013.

The second leg of the tour will be based at Botetourt County’s Greenfield Recreation Park, where cyclists can camp out, swap stories and revel in the region’s growing outdoor culture in between scenic rides.

    Bill Kirchen & Too Much Fun with special guest Austin de Lone. @ Kirk Avenue, 22 Kirk Avenue SW, Roanoke VA 24011
    Friday: 8:00 pm – 8:00 pm

    Bill Kirchen & Too Much Fun with special guest Austin de Lone.

    Grammy nominated guitarist, singer and songwriter Bill Kirchen is one of the fortunate few who can step on any stage, play those trademark licks which drove the seminal Commander Cody classic Hot Rod Lincoln into the Top Ten nationwide, and elicit instant recognition. His career has spanned over 40 years and includes live and recorded performances with Elvis Costello, Nick Lowe, Emmylou Harris, Doug Sahm, Ralph Stanley, Gene Vincent and Link Wray. Named a “Titan of the Telecaster” by Guitar Player Magazine, he celebrates a musical tradition that embraces rock ‘n’ roll, blues and bluegrass, Texas Western swing and California honky-tonk.

    WITH HIS NEW RELEASE BILL KIRCHEN STANDS EVEN TALLER AS A FOUNDING FATHER OF AMERICANA

    This career-spanning new album Seeds and Stems contains a truckload of songs that capture the singular sound and high-energy vibe of his live shows, the songs he started out with that are still perpetual crowd-pleasers. Kirchen offers a rare combination of guitar virtuosity, a mastery of roots rock ‘n’ roll and an almost-magical connection with his audience. Finally with Seeds and Stems, there is an album that captures all of this.

    Austin  de Lone is a killer keyboardist, rocking guitarist, and soulful singer and songwriter who has been cutting it up for over five decades. While still an undergraduate at Harvard in the late 60′s, de Lone penned “One for One,” the first single released by Linda Ronstadt and the Stone Poneys.  After leaving college he formed Eggs Over Easy, the band credited with being the fathers of the simple, unadorned rock that the British dubbed “pub rock.” The Eggs arrived in London from New York City and recorded an album with Chas Chandler, producer of Jimi Hendrix’s first two albums. Austin lives in the San Francisco Bay Area, recording and touring with his own bands as well as Elvis Costello, Bonnie Raitt, The Fabulous Thunderbirds, Boz Scaggs, Nick Lowe, Paul Carrack, Commander Cody, Jimmy McCracklin, Bill Kirchen, Loudon Wainwright, and many others known and unknown, seen and unseen.

  1. Hi Jason,

    I just created a profile on wordpress for your unique site. Is there a contact # for you? I have some questions…

    Thanks,

    Jeff

  2. Dearest Brenda and Jason,

    Thank you so much for supporting us by promoting our Medical Fund on your website. Your assistance will help out with the medical bills we are incurring and in turn helping the well being of our kids tremendously. It is very meaningful to me to see your love of helping others in need manifested through your generousity. Blessings to you and your family.

    With my utmost appreciation,
    NIck

    • Well, Nick – you have been with us from the very beginning and we just want to be there for you now. I hope this small gesture helps you out. Please let us know if we can be of assistance in some other way. Love and Health to you friend. Brenda & Jason

  3. When viewing photo page and below to the address area, there needs to be a line added that says what this store sells. Yes, some are obvious, but some are not. For us out of towners, please add a descriptive line for the business. Thanks. Coming in October, Rox

    • Thanks for the feedback Rox. We are always looking for ways to improve our website and that is an excellent idea. …and as soon as we learn how to do that…we are all over it! Ha Ha! Actually, we are learning…but I think I can handle that one. If we can help answer any questions in the meantime, feel free to ask. Also, some of the businesses have links to their facebook page or website. Thanks again!
