Notice
9/8/08: Due to lack of interest,
lack of time on my part and the ascendance of sites
like mySpace that do a better job of linking people
up than I'm able to do here, I don't feel these pages
provide enough of a service to justify the time it takes
to maintain them. They are no longer being updated and
will likely be removed once I have time to give the
site a long overdue update.

Blue Suede was established in
Harrisonburg in the Spring of 1995 by a group of
seasoned musicians with the idea of providing some
of the best swing & rock dance music around.
Drawing its talent from the "Coachmen,"
"Flashback," "Touch of Class,"
and "Contraband," Blue Suede has left
a trail of "want 'cha backs" in it's brief
history.
The range of music goes from 1940's swing to current
hits with an emphasis on party oldies. Special requests
are available with enough lead time.
No job is too large or too small !! Blue Suede
is capable of playing the most intimate of social
gatherings, or making the largest events a smashing
success! Blue Suede is available for weddings, picnics,
shows, cruise-ins, dances, meetings, and anywhere
high quality music is required.

The LAKOTA Band was founded
in 1998 By John "Big John" Waltman, formerly
a session musician for the likes of Jimmy Vaughn.
The band is modeled after the "traditional"
four piece "Power Rock" bands of the late
60's and early 70's whose individual members have
played for and with musicians and bands such as
Pat Benatar, Ronnie Montrose, Angel, the New York
Dolls, Pat Travers, and Nashville session singer
Michelle Krause-Ryehill.
The LAKOTA Band's versatility and variety of music
makes their performances satisfying for patrons
of all ages and is ideal for both public and private
venues. The LAKOTA Band routinely performs "No
Fee" performances for Federally recognized
Charitable organizations.

The
band is called "JUST4FUN" because that’s
why we play together. We all love good Country and
Classic R&R that you can get up and “Shake”
to, and we play plenty of classic slow dancers for
you to romance your honey! We live and work in the
beautiful Shenandoah Valley area, hailing from Berryville,
Woodstock and Edinburg. Each member of the band
has been playing for quite a number of years, but
it is the uniquely combined talents of all the members
that makes JUST4FUN sound so good. We have been
playing the Shenandoah Valley for 5 years now, and
hope you’ve had the opportunity to catch our
show.
Please
visit our website at www.j4fmusic.com.
There you will find our schedule, list of songs,
and access to 14 of our demo songs. There are also
photos of the band in action! Call for our available
dates and rates early as we are typically booked
4-6 months out.
As the
website says: “We are available for Weddings,
Reunions, Parties and a good time. Call and schedule
today!”

A
"Roadhouse Music" band based in Rockbridge
County, Virginia, playing Shenandoah Valley, Charlottesville,
Roanoke, Richmond, Northern Virginia, and East Coast
venues.
Definitely
not into radio tunes, SLINGBLADE is on the cutting
edge of a musical style with roots in the roadhouse
venues of Austin, Texas and the smoky barrooms of
Nashville, Tennessee . It's a swingin', boogie kinda
thang fused with Americana on steroids, and we warn
you that this sound is liable to become addictive.
Raw, driving rhythms, sensual melodies and intriguing
story lines combine to make the SLINGBLADE experience
as interesting as their name. (and the name is a whole
‘nother story).

Ki:Theory
can best be characterized as a post-grunge power rock
four-piece from Harrisonburg, VA with piercing vocals,
fluid and hard hitting riffs, deafening drums, and
a solid bass foundation.
Ki:Theory's self-titled debut album on Kringer Record,
released on October 10, 2000, contains a wide range
of textures with the blending of acoustic and electric
guitars. The songs are based around powerfully energizing
riffs that propel the band and listener through the
verses. This album combines heavy riffs with an intricate
network of harmonies and melodies |
