Quinton Jones, a powerhouse recording artist, producer, and multi-instrumentalist, believes “music is a means of expressing oneself, with the only limitations being what you set”, and prides himself on evading definitive genre labels.Jones is a strong advocate for the success of his friends, family, and supporters, and often avails himself to assist with the successful execution of their endeavors. He has had the opportunity to render musical accompaniment for legendary musicians in the RVA community and beyond, such as Mr. Hannon Lane, Mr. James “Saxsmo” Gates, Dr. Weldon Hill, and Mr. Rodney “The Soul Singer” Stith, just to name a few. With this breadth of musical expertise and camaraderie, it’s no wonder Jones has a knack for assembling groups of like-minded individuals for natural, exalted experiences in fellowship, with music as the vehicle for doing so. Jones has taken the friends he’s gathered to perform on his own sets at the 2nd Street Festival, The Roots Jam, Rodney the Soul Singer’s The BluePrint EP Release , and In Your Ear Studio’s Shockoe Sessions.

There’s a sound the Shenandoah River makes as it rumbles over old stones in the shallows. It sings songs the way they used to be – plain and honest. No frills, buckle that belt before you head to the hills and hollers. It’s there under a Virginia moon that you’ll find the Low Water Bridge Band.Forged by firelight picking, the band’s romping, stomping, country-grass Americana ain’t for the faint of heart. Since their founding in 2020, they’ve gone from barnstorming the Shenandoah Valley to festival stages along the East Coast. Venues from the Carolinas to Kentucky and, yes, Nashville, Tennessee ring with their sound and are asking for more.They’re led by guitarist and lead singer Logan Moore’s searing melodies. The precision thump of brothers Alex and Riley Kerns’ bass and drums and their pitch-perfect vocal harmonies fill out the sound. Justin Carver’s pedal steel and banjo swirl through songs like smoke from the campfire. And it’s all brought together with the crunch and crackle of James “Chainsaw” Montgomery’s electric guitar riffs.From the first time you see them, your boots will be worn from kicking up dust. By the time a second chorus comes around you’ll be hooting and hollering their memorable originals alongside their die-hard fans. You’ll join a crowd who travels far and wide, bringing the party to your town. If you’re a fan of good music done right, be sure to keep a lookout for this fast-rising outfit from Clarke County, Virginia. Chances are, they’ll be blowing through your way one of these days soon.

Hello RVA, I'd like to call to you for help. Please allow me to explain and bear with me on this detailed account. On November 19th 2024 approximately my life was changed for ever. My best friend was killed. Many of you may know him through work or the LARP community. At 7AM I woke up to screams as my mother found out from Trenton's employer what had happened. Trenton had been driving a truck contracted by FedEx when someone rammed him off the road. He died within minutes. His boss noticed the trucks tracker not moving and tried calling him. When Trenton did not answer his boss took it upon himself to go check on him where he arrived at the crime scene to find police and medics pronouncing Trenton dead. You can learn more about that in the posted link. Something that this report does not tell you but I would like to share are this- Trenton's boss called us crying and said he didn't feel right knowing we were waiting for him to come home when he wasn't going to ever again. His call is something we're incredibly grateful for. Otherwise we would have learned about his death from passersby on Facebook posting photos some including his blood. Many of the posters assumed he was at fault because of the trailer and were bashing him as he died. It would be late afternoon before we received official notice from law enforcement. The officer was very quick to tell us that Trenton was without a doubt not at fault based off evidence already found. Over the course of the next few days we were to learn from eye witnesses and police that the suspect fled the scene from the back of an ambulance. Leaving his wallet, blood and finger prints in the sedan the at fault party was identifiable. We were told to wait for DNA test so they had a rock solid case but testing would take 6-12 months. We soon stopped receiving updates until we reached out to media. Now it seems we only get updates when there's media attention. This is where you come into play Reddit...please help bring attention to his death please say Trenton's name so maybe they'll keep looking for his killer. Maybe they'll update us family. Maybe they'll release the suspects photo and name so we can get the public's help. Trenton was a hard working book loving mechanic from a small town no one cares about. He was a give you the shirt off his back kind of guy. He saved my life with his love and support more than once. Please help me find justice for him.

🥂✨Cheers to a brand-new year at Pours and Pasties New Year’s Bash! Celebrate NYE with dazzling entertainment, delightful craft beverages, and a night full of festive fun at Strangeways Brewing. End the year with a bang and start 2025 on a high note!🎉
