About National Public Rodeo:

"Richmond's National Public Rodeo creates and performs original americana/alt-country music that moves from haunting ballads to uptempo rock but always with that note of country in the mix.  Fronted by vocal duo of Kimmothy Cole and Jeffrey Alan Jones (also on guitar), National Public Rodeo features Todd Blair on pedal steel, Erik Kutzler on bass, and Steve Haas on drums."   

About Brand Franklin:

"Hailing from West Point VA, Brand Franklin is a honky tonk/outlaw country musician with an unapologetic style. You can tell a genuine smile when you see one, and that's definitely the case when you see Brand's grin after folks cheer and sing-along to one of his songs. Singing and writing is a true passion and Brand truly aims to get a reaction from the crowd when he plays one of his original numbers."
