ERIN & THE WILDFIREPowerful vocals. Infectious hooks. Sensual
harmonies. Snacks.
Erin & the Wildfire combine elements of funk, soul, and R&B into a
unique experience for fans. Featuring the core four: Matt Wood (bass),
Ryan Lipps (guitar), Nick Quillen (drums) and Erin Lunsford (vocals)
– who’ve been together since college, evolving their sound for six
years – and a rotating menagerie of talented musicians out of
Virginia.
The lyrical content comes from Lunsford’s life, loves, and the
passions of her and the rest of the Wildfire – including those of
female solidarity, body positivity, and pizza. The demanding presence
of Lunsford’s voice, combined with the talent and charm of Quillen,
Lipps, and Wood, makes for a high energy, inspiring performance that
stays with you until the next time.
“Each show feels like it’s the next and last chance to explain
ourselves –another chance to connect with the audience to speak our
truth. We hope that people seeing us for the first time (and repeat
viewers!) feel appreciated and comfortable and we hope they feel
inspired by the tunes.” Lunsford, “The Young Folks”
DARZO
Adar Seligman-McComas’ original music and lyrics emerge from that
most deeply interior space in which language shifts and slides and
sometimes speaks in opposites. Through metaphor, melody, and rhythm,
private meanings become shared experience. From the most personal of
places, she creates music that speaks to all of us.
Based in Charlottesville, VA, Adar formed her band, ADAR, in the
summer of 2016, and shortly after, released her first album “The
Rapids.” In early 2020, the band made the decision to rename
themselves darzo to better represent the inclusive nature of the
work--in which the music reaches its final form only with the
contributions and ideas of its deeply involved and talented members.
darzo has electrified audiences with performances of genre-bending
music that is not purely Soul, not simply R&B, nor straight-up Jazz.
The band is currently in the process of releasing its first
full-length album, which is expected to be available to the public in
spring of 2020.
