Flight One, formed in 2016, performs original music and solid covers, bringing crisp blues rock with progressive infused guitar solos. Flight One is a new electric project from Blacksburg Virginia's power acoustic duo, John and Julie (John Fogle & Julie Dameron), adding two members of longtime New River Valley band, Gary & The Brewers, Jason Tice on drums and Chris Rader on bass, also from local band, Ray Jay Johnson.

Fogle brings scorching, uplifting guitar solos with a progressive thoughtfulness seldom seen in the rock world these days, while Julie Dameron's lyrical writing and solid guitar work moves the listener who enjoys depth in their art. With the creative rhythm section of Rader and Tice, each new listener feels the music familiar, yet somehow fresh with each performance.

Beyond the tight structure of the original material, the improvisational jams bring out the best of Fogle and Dameron's long-time guitar partnership with beautiful, complex interplay of melody and lead work, leading to common 10-minute interludes you hope will never end. Fogle has been entertaining the Blacksburg area with his extraordinary guitar talent since the 1980's and the band is comprised of musical veterans, enjoying the discovery of power in this fresh new band, finally ready for the next step.

A project in constant motion, this group is growing together, writing new material weekly, to fill out what will be a busy year sharing passionate, exciting music with a purpose! Rock On!

This group of all-star musicians hail from the New River Valley of Virginia, up in the spine of the Appalachians where rock and blues meet to jam, where the mountains meet the sky and raise your spirits high, where psychedelic funk punch is just what’s for breakfast. Timewave Zero music drives crowds straight into the heart of the singularity connect today!

With a band name inspired by Terrence Mckenna's i-Ching mathematics and eschatological explorations, TW0 is always at the ready for a live dance music adventure. These musicians have played together for crowds of hundreds in several formulations including: The Jackass Menagerie, The Jugbusters, and the Dirty Hairies. As their CDs, videos and websites show, groove and positive messaging dominate 'the happening'.

An original Blacksburg band started circa 2003 and evolved over the years as epic electric instruments, keys, and saxophone came, conquered and graduated. From the Jackass Menagerie release 'No Particular Order' (2005) to the 2007 release of 'Pimps In Space' as Timewave Zero, the band is always hosting the best talent in town. Recent gigs energized crowds at Virginia Tech, Blacksburg's Mingle, The Sycamore, and over the airwaves with WUVT radio appearances. In 2014 the band headlined and hosted a special tribute show for the songwriter Will Killhour at the Blue Nile in New Orleans.
