One of Relix Magazine’s “On The Verge” picks, THE GET RIGHT BAND is “hip-shaking, earthquaking pure funk fun” (The Alternate Root). Combining catchy, clever songwriting with musical expertise and fearless improvisation, the live show promises to make you shake everything you’ve got. From funk to rock n’ roll to reggae, this is a dance party.

Relix called the band “an ass shaking good time” and Martin Anderson of WNCW radio comments that “The Get Right Band is one of those acts that make Asheville’s music scene so vibrant and exciting. They lay down some very cool grooves.”

The Get Right Band has been wowing audiences around the country and the Caribbean with their unparalleled live show since their inception in 2011, playing such legendary festivals and venues as FloydFest (Floyd, VA), Music City Brewers Fest (Nashville, TN), All Go West Fest (Asheville, NC), Steppin’ Out (Blacksburg, VA), The 8×10 (Baltimore, MD), The Orange Peel (Asheville, NC), The Pour House (Charleston, SC), The Green Parrot (Key West, FL), Skipper’s Smokehouse (Tampa, FL), LiveWire (Savannah, GA), The Beach Bar (St. John, US Virgin Islands), and many more. The band has rocked hard and jammed relentlessly every step of the way.

Established in January 2013, progressive psychedelic funk rock band Nice Couch has been busy consistently touring the stages of the US east coast music scene as much as possible, while at the same time perfecting their craft as one well maintained unit. With hundreds of shows under their belts, performed at hundreds of venues and festivals across the region, this professional quality, seasoned, experienced, and native Virginia rock and roll band is eager and willing to do what it takes to spread the Nice Couch sound, vibe, feel, and soul.

Nice Couch pulls influence form bands such as, Umphrey's McGee, Lettuce, The Allman Brothers, Dire Straights, Parliament Funkadelic, Van Halen, Led Zeppelin, Primus, The Red Hot Chili Peppers, Frank Zappa, and Jimi Hendrix to name a few. Nice Couch has shared the stage with National and International acts such as Keller Williams, The Pimps of Joytime, Moon Hooch, Particle, The Motet, TAUK, Dopapod, Pigeons Playing Ping Pong, Big Something, as well as many others.

Originated in the small southwest Virginia college town of Radford Virginia, Nice Couch has made constant and steady strides since their early days proving them to be a staple in the Virginia and surrounding areas live rock music circuit. In 2018 Nice Couch packed up and relocated to Richmond Virginia in search of a better fitting home base with a more thriving music scene which they have found and currently reside.

Place Called Home is a roots rock, blues and folk band based out of Roanoke, VA.

On a cold Virginia evening in autumn 2014 we lit up a cigar and kicked up our feet by a backyard bonfire. The conversation that ensued uncovered a longing for purpose, community, and comradery, on the road we call life. That night we wrote a song, and a band was born
