Cody Austin band in m opinion blows all the others out of the water! Keep it up boys!!
Lee Cherry Entertainment would like to speak on the behalf of it's artist Brian Grilli in saying Brian is very appreciative to be mentioned and included in this list. However, he feels each band is different and unique in their own way. Now that Brian is gaining some well deserved time in the National Spotlight, he hopes it opens the door to expose what great artists are dwelling within Hampton Roads. Brian doesn't hesitate to mention the Tidewater region when on the road. We will see if Va Beach gets an applause later this month in Wisconsin as Brian opens for Florida/Georgia Line at the 150,000 plus CountryFest USA event.
Mark, we had a GREAT time with both of your kids, plus Tutu, on our recent vacation to Puerto Rico. They miss you. Wish you could be as involved in their lives as you are with your darts! Miss you 🙂
Buckshot for sure. They have a great group of fans and always pack the place. Check them out if you haven't already.
