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. 

Join us for some tunes on the deck! Justin is the guitarist from Richmond faves Villages.

Ben Butterworth of Richmond, Virginia has been writing and performing his own original music for more than a decade. From bluegrass to psychedelic country, from merch guy to front man, from Montana to Miami. Over the years, Ben has been in several bands and projects; ranging from bluegrass with The Inflatables, to psychedelic country in Captain Grandpa, and most recently with Ben & The Bajas. Ben has a knack for putting together great musicians, and regardless of the ensemble name, you can always bet on Ben’s band to be fantastic.

In November of 2021 Ben independently released his debut solo album - Purgatory Emporium. The album consists of ten original songs, steeped in Ben's southern musical traditions and flavored with a wide range of influence. Many of the tracks explore feelings of loss or feeling lost, being stuck between self-actualization and self-destruction, hanging out in a limbo…a flux. Somewhere between now and then, in a thrift store between Heaven and Hell. Welcome to the Purgatory Emporium.

In August of 2022, Ben was part of WNRN’s Dead Air 3, celebrating 25 years of independent radio and the music of the Grateful Dead, on stage at The National in Richmond, VA. Ben Butterworth has shared the stage with Illiterate Light, Hackensaw Boys, David Wax Museum, Palm Palm, Pigeons Playing Ping Pong, Keller Williams, Toubab Kewe, Larry Keel, Carolina Chocolate Drops, The California Honeydrops, and more, performing in bars, theaters, and bandstands across the country.

Keep your ears unzipped and stay tuned!

6 THINGS ABOUT US

1. We like to play music, stringband music. We call it stringband music because it's just too tedious to try and get into whether it's old time, bluegrass, ragtime, country, or general freakout music.

2. We have done so since 2002, mostly based out of Richmond, VA.

3. We've been lots of places, including all throughout the USA, the UK, Ireland, and a little piece of Europe. Some of our festival highlights have been: Tønder, Celtic Connections, The Shetland Folk Festival, The Orkney Folk Festival, South By Southwest, Floyd Fest, Bristol Rhythm and Roots Festival, The Watermelon Park Festival, The Northeast Kingdom Music Festival,  Didmarton Bluegrass Festival, Maverick Festival, HebCeltFest, Speyfest, Leicester Summer Sundae and multiple occasions Edinburgh Festival Fringe (including a Herald Angel Award in 2006).

4. We like to: play fast, be funny, spasm, herk and jerk, eat exotic and frightening things, and ride in a van.

5. We love each other, we love you!

6. We are Josh, Jake, Rudy, JM, and Charles (plus others)

About Kelly Jones

Kelly is a Richmond native who recently moved back after living in Austin, Texas for the last decade. Kelly's yoga practice began slowly at the Midlothian YMCA in her early teens and continued through her time at VCU. After graduating she was lackadaisical about her practice until 2017 when a fire was lit through her discovery of hot power vinyasa. Yoga quickly went from once a month practice to daily practice. Yoga began to transform her life in ways she'd never imagined. It created a space for self-awareness, healing, and growth that came exactly when she needed it.
Kelly recognized what a crucial part yoga began to play in her life physically, mentally, spiritually, while also providing her with the most beautiful new community. She then knew that it set her soul on fire to spread this passion in an attempt to impact just one person the way yoga had changed her life for the good. In 2018 Kelly became a registered 200-hour hot power yoga teacher with Corepower Yoga and has consistently continued her education since through various yoga schools.

Upon returning to Richmond Kelly went on a search for the right studio to call home, trying nearly every studio she could find. From her very first class at 3S she knew she had found her home!

Kelly hopes to bring her students closer to their highest selves beginning on their mat. She encourages growth of the physical and spiritual self and practices presence through breath in her flows. She loves to incorporate her vast love for music into her classes.

Chip's music is best described as a blend of folk, country & Americana, with an emphasis on dark melodies and intricate fingerstyle guitar.

Tin Can Fish Band started as the duo TinFish in 2006, with acoustic singer songwriter Steve Fisher and longtime friend, Colonial Williamsburg tavern musician, and mandolin / fiddle player, Doug Austin.

After steadily performing for over 10 years and putting out 3 CDs, Tin Can Fish Band's infectious spirit, engaging shows and distinctive musicianship is cultivating a strong following in central Virginia and beyond.
