First take some homegrown vocals drenched in Carolina twang and Memphis soul.  Then add a healthy dose of blues and bluegrass influenced guitar.  Now finish it off with top notch showmanship and storytelling, and you'll begin to get an idea of what Willie Williams is all about.  With influences that range from Merle Haggard to Al Green, Willie’s music is as familiar as it is fresh.  An accomplished multi-instrumentalist, vocalist and songwriter, Willie is currently touring with Great Southern Reunion presented by Dickey Betts, where he shares the guitar duties with the legendary Lee Roy Parnell.  When not on the road, Willie is a fixture of the Richmond, VA music scene where his current projects include Solo Acoustic performances and Allman Brothers Tribute band SKYDOG.  Willie also plays guitar with Virginia music icon Steve Bassett from time to time.  

What began as a small gathering among friends became something extraordinary in 2023: The Rock & Roll Rumble! Now entering its third year, this grassroots event has raised over $50,000 for the Bon Secours Cancer Institute, funding critical support services like scalp cooling therapy, which helps chemo patients keep their hair.

But the impact goes beyond the dollars—it’s about awareness, connections, and the relentless passion of those fighting, those we’ve lost, and those determined to make a difference.

Join us for CANCER SUCKS III on April 12, 12-7 PM Hardywood Park Craft Brewery for an unforgettable day of music, community, and purpose!

"Caroline Vain is an expert songwriter with the resume to back it up. Currently sitting on two singles, she is a sonic healing, not quite carefree but confident in the optimistic maybe. She is a master at blending the complex into the subtle, showing far more than telling with a variety of instruments in her recordings."

Whether dance floors are open or closed, pop music retains its power to move us, distilling complex emotional experiences into art that resonates the moment it hits our ears. That immediacy is a hallmark of songs by Richmond, Virginia’s indie songstress Tyler Meacham. Blurring the lines of genre, Tyler’s gift lies in connecting intimately with her listeners through relatable lyrics and resonant vocals. On her debut album, 'Into the Fray,' she doesn’t shy away from sharing her deepest vulnerabilities over a broad musical backdrop of synth-soaked pop, tenacious guitars, and raw acoustic roots. For Meacham, music is a means for creating a sense of belonging and understanding. In her own words, "I hope people hear these songs and maybe feel a little less alone, a little less lost in whatever life has presented them with." As her artistic journey continues to unfold, Tyler Meacham remains a beacon of honesty and authenticity, a resolute artist unafraid to delve into her innermost depths and bring her audience along for the ride.
