Live Music in the Orchard: Crozet Jam BandLive Music in the Orchard: Crozet Jam Band
Come, join us and enjoy live music and Cider with The Crozet Jam Band
Led by guitarist Jim Pyles, this informal jam session reminiscent of an Irish pub, all guests are encouraged to sing along, and participants are invited to make requests from the 170+ (and growing) songbook! They really rock out, with everyone feeling each other’s beat, to create a cohesive sound with a raucous, funky feel, "our band and our audience are a diverse group that represents a broad spectrum of ages, lifestyles, and talents. The jam sessions blend sounds, but they also blend people.”

Live Music in the Orchard: LUA ProjectLive Music in the Orchard: LUA Project
Enjoy live music by Lua Project! Lua is a cultural pollinator, bridging musical styles from different continents and different centuries. They write about contemporary themes, about families, and people and work and loss, but draw on the musical traditions of their own families' past. The music is inspired by Mexican Son, Appalachian song forms, Jewish and Eastern European tonalities, baroque melodic ideas, and Scotch-Irish narrative storytelling approaches. They strive to create a repertoire that constitutes new traditional music that they will be able to pass down to their children to experience, transform, and pass on.Grab a glass and relax the weekend away in musical bliss!

Live Music in the Orchard: The PollocksLive Music in the Orchard: The Pollocks
Join us for cider and live music The Pollocks are led by Jason Pollock, former guitarist and songwriter for Seven Mary Three. In the mid 90s, Jason penned such hits as "Cumbersome" and "Water's Edge", sold a few million albums, and toured extensively. "The Pollocks" were formed in 2014, when a friend urged him to get back into the game and publish his catalog of songs that had been piling up. Their music can best be described as American rock, with the right amount of soul: The Rolling Stones meets Jefferson Airplane. There's some Velvet Underground, Bob Dylan, The Beatles, and Neil Young thrown in for good measure. The psychedelic South, in three part harmony.
