A little insight about each band…
The Richmond Indigenous Gourd Orchestra: A band where members grow gourds, make instruments and create music. They put the “cult” back into culture, and “culture” back into agriculture.

Amazing Ghost: “Amazing Ghost is that rare exception. Not only are they (relatively) hospitable human beings, they play music that is immediately identifiable. Overflowing with hooks, charm and charisma, Amazing Ghost’s gift for writing and performing memorable tunes is, well, nothing short of amazing.” -Chris Bopst
BlackGirls: “Certified bona fide puddy minin’ jelly siftin’ judge tauntin’ rum guzzlin’ high fivin’ mud skatin’ whiskey totin’ gun slingin’ zest havin’ hootin’ hollerin’ baccy smokin’ sonuva jamenson”
