The New River Community College Fiddle, Banjo & Dance Club presents their March concert featuring The Java Brothers and the Dixie Bluegrass Boys in concert on Saturday, March 14, 2020 at Edwards Hall, Room 117 located within the New River Community College's campus in Dublin, VA.
The Java Brothers bluegrass band was born out of Radford’s Monday Night Fiddle & Banjo Jam. The Java Brothers mix standard bluegrass and newgrass with fiery original tunes in their live shows. They are progressive, but pretty much only to the extent that they'll play new songs as hard driving bluegrass with some rock 'n roll vibes.
Their musical influences include Bill Monroe, Stanley Brothers, Jimmy Martin, Old and In the Way, The Seldom Scene, Sam Bush, Tony Rice, JD Crowe, The Country Gentlemen, The Beatles, Rolling Stones and Doyle Lawson.
The Java Brothers have become Radford’s house band however they’ve played dances, festivals, brew pubs, and church services all over Southwest Virginia.
