Doss Church & the Unholy Noise is an Asheville-based Americana Rock & Roll band that plays a mix of originals written by singer/songwriter Doss Church, along with a wide range of crowd-pleasing cover songs. Doss Church is a seasoned songwriter who fuses soulful, heartfelt vocals with warm, expressive acoustic guitar. His deeply storied, personal lyrics are filled with hope found and love lost.

Barstool Rodeo is a musical tribute to Widespread Panic’s original lead guitarist, Michael Houser. Brought together with the idea of recreating classic Widespread Panic setlists from the 1990’s and early 2000’s. We also perform fantasy setlists selected from our ever growing playlist of nearly 100 songs. Barstool Rodeo has been winning over fans in Virginia and beyond.

Formed in 2018 by veterans of the Richmond, Virginia jam-band scene, guitarist/singer Michael Cox, guitarist Davis Whitehurst, bassist Pete Gillis, drummer Joey Dye, percussionist Joe Bray, and keyboardist Tim Dunkum, they seek to recreate the frenetic and explosive music that was inspired by Micheal Houser's unique approach to lead guitar. Fans of Widespread Panic's original lineup have been thrilled by Barstool Rodeo's reviving of "the Lingering Lead" in a live setting once again.

When disco diva Deloris Van Cartier witnesses a crime, she hides out in the last place anyone would look — a convent. Suddenly, the sequins are swapped for habits, and the nightclub turns into a nave. But when Deloris brings her unholy amount of soul to the choir loft, heaven gets a whole new groove.

Sister Act is a holy-rolling, soul-lifting celebration of sisterhood, second chances, and songs that raise the roof. As Deloris helps the sisters find their voices, they just might change her heart in return.

Part divine comedy, part disco revival, it’s proof that a little funk — and a lot of faith — can turn any sanctuary into a showstopper.
