A Shrewdness of Apes (ASOA) is DC prog, an ambitious three-piece inspired by the likes of Tool, Queens of the Stone Age, Yes, and King Crimson. Their palate ranges from heavy effects-saturated riffs to intricate odd meter acoustic melodies. Protest songs, history, evolution, societal issues are just some of the lyrical topics covered in their repertoire. ASOA formed in 2013, and since then have relocated from Richmond and have released 5 EPs and 2 full-length albums. With A Shrewdness of Apes, expect the musically unexpected.

Voodoo Mother is an altern ative, rock band from Richmond, VA. Comprised of Lead Guitarist Matt Edwards, Bassist and vocalist Jacob Kissinger and Drummer Matt Patrick. The guys have been jamming in rva for the past couple of years, and they know how to lay down a nice groove as well.

Americans Abroad started in 2020 as the solo project of Sam Norton before growing into a four piece rock band. Featuring Sean Schultz on Electric Guitar and occasional vocals, Ryan Faulkner on Bass, Jay Gash on Drums, and Sam Norton singing and furiously strumming his acoustic guitar. With a large catalog of high energy songs tackling subjects such as addiction, worker's rights, and the human condition, Americans Abroad always brings it with their performances.

Good Mother Lizard brings many influ encers into a blend of genre and sounds. From frenetic freak-outs to delicate moments of introspection, the sound is varied and unique. There are drums, bass guitar, two electric guitars, and vocals.
