Mackenzie Roark and the Hotpants - playing Gettin’ By High and Strange, by the late-great Kris Kristofferson, filmed on real 1997 VHS by Nikki (note the delightful color and crispy sound quality). I am especially proud of this fiery guitar solo, and the 3-part vocal harmony at the end.

FloydFest 25 was amazing!

So happy to have a piano in my apartment. This is an arrangement of Everything Means Nothing To Me by the late great Elliott Smith. Elliott does not lead with his piano playing on many songs, but when he does it’s amazing. #elliottsmith #everythingmeansnothingtome #rvamusic

SUN, APR 26 / ROCK & ROLL PIANO RECITAL featuring ERIC SITES, ERIN LUNSFORD, JAKE COCHRAN, BILLY BACCI, and BELLA SALUNGA / 4PM
RVA musicians ditch their band and play the grand!
So many songs start sitting behind a piano and by the time they make it out into the world there isn’t even any piano on the track. This event is an exploration of the early stages of those songs featuring musicians who perform with bands instead sharing stripped down renditions of their songs with only a piano and their voices.
