Bob and Carolyn play the songs they love to hear, mostly from the fifties and sixties, with more than a few from the Great American Songbook.

You'll hear country, old rock and rockabilly, with a few swing jazz tunes thrown in for spice. They love harmony and give each song a bit of a personal styling. They like to have fun playing and hope you'll have fun listening.

We are mixing it up this Sunday as we take a break from our Celtic programming and welcome Dara James, award-winning singer/songwriter who uses his formidable guitar, harmonica, and vocal skills to present a variety of songs in the blues, folk, and classic rock genres along with, of course, original songs.

You may recognize Dara from the popular blues band in Central Virginia known as the "Jon Spear Band", where his talent as a quadruple-threat musician has earned him generous praise, such as Friday Blues Fix calling him, “a blues star in the making…a gifted guitarist, singer, and songwriter,” and Professor Johnny P. calling him “a ‘guitar wizard’ who can easily get an audience up on its feet just by the strength of his playing.”

Dara, alongside the Jon Spear Band, has opened for national acts such as Chris Duarte, The Iguanas, Junior Brown, Delbert McClinton, and many others.

Recognized by The Encyclopedia of Jazz as one of the world's great singers, Stephanie Nakasian is a master of innovative jazz improvisation, utterly authentic with a fresh and vibrant sound all her own.

An author and prolific recording artist, Stephanie's 14 celebrated solo albums and numerous guest features earned her the title "Renaissance Woman of Jazz" (All About Jazz).

She has toured the world performing at major jazz festivals, cruises, and venues such as the 2020 "Savannah Safe Jazz Festival," Kennedy Center, Lincoln Center, Blues Alley, Birdland Theater, and North Sea Jazz Festival, to name a few. Audiences worldwide love her!

Eli was born in a Blue Ridge Mountain hollow full of “old cars, chain-saws, and guitars”. Radio still reigned, and telephones and television failed. He began playing gospel at revivals when he was 15, and still never forgets to “take you to church” at some moment in his performance today.

Eli’s career was launched when he opened for B.B. King at the Paramont Theatre to a standing ovation and was featured in Guitar Player Magazine. Today, he tours throughout the United States and internationally with venues ranging from the Kennedy Center and the Library of Congress, to B.B.King’s Night Club of NYC.

Known for his adrenalized performances, original compositions, and brilliant guitar playing, Eli Cook is revolutionizing the Blues experience for the 21st century.

Described as “the best blues singer of his generation” (All Music Guide), and “one of the top three blues soloists worldwide” (Blues Matters Magazine), he is equal master of slide and twelve-string guitar. Eli explodes the Blues horizon. There are no boundaries, no stop signs.

With fresh arrangements of classics by Skip James, John Hurt, Elmore James and Jimi Hendrix, as well as his own critically-acclaimed works from 7 recorded albums, Eli opens the door for you to enter a dimension of blues guitar-playing never before seen in the musical world.

With a new solo recording project entitled, “Her Light,” in dedication of his late daughter, Everly Margaret Rose, set to release September 1st, 2021, we are super stoked to introduce you to Dara and his amazing talent this Sunday!

Kim and Jimbo play celtic airs, jigs and reels on guitar, mandolin, tin whistle, fiddle and bouzouki. Their music reflects the strong connection between Scotch Irish immigrants and the old-time music of Virginia’s Blue Ridge Mountains.

The Carys have been fortunate to have studied and jammed with Mick Moloney, Liz Carrol, Seamus Eagan, and other great Irish musicians. Kim & Jimbo were also members of Mandelay, central Virginia’s first celtic band, and played on the group’s two recordings.

Spend your Sunday enjoying brunch and mimosas while soaking in the angelic sounds of Celtic folk music at the historic Osceola Mill.
