Acoustic Bands in Roanoke Virginia

Acoustic Bands in Roanoke Virginia

Playing in an acoustic band definitely has it's challenges.  When you are only one of two instruments total, you better have your game on.  The other fellow can only cover up so much.  Playing in the Rich and Andy band for the past seven years has been a great learning experience.  When we started, we knew nothing about this business and nor how to go about even getting started.  Acoustic bands in Roanoke Virginia at the time we few and far between and the demand for them was even less.  We have seen a nice increase in the demand for acoustic bands in Roanoke Virginia and we are happy to have been part of it.  We hope this continues and that the live music in Roanoke Virginia scene continues to grow and grow.

Live Music in Roanoke Virginia:

Big news folks!  Tonight at 7pm we are going to meet with our record producer and his partner to be officially signed to their record label.  What does this mean for us?  As independent music artists we look at this opportunity as a hug stepping stone to a level of legitimacy that we have been working towards for seven years.  We will work with our record producer to record our first album of all original songs written by Andy Bishop and Andy will sing lead and play rhythm guitar.  Rich Bowels will be co-credited with musical arrangements on some of the songs and he will play lead guitar and sing backup.

We are excited to get started on this project which has been in the works for over two years.  Playing live music in Roanoke Virginia for us will take on a whole new meaning and this will be a new beginning for the Rich and Andy band.  Wish us luck and look for our album on iTunes, Google Play and other online sites.  We will also sell hard copies at all of our shows.  As of right now we are tentatively calling the album "Good Tunes and Good Times" and we will have an original song titled the same.

It's going to be a hard road but we are ready to get started!

Live Music in Roanoke Virginia – the Rich and Andy Band

In the past few years the acoustic music scene in Roanoke Virginia has been steadily growing.  The music is now to a point where there are more options to choose from than there are outlets to showcase them.  The Rich and Andy band has always tried to find new ways to get the word out.  How to promote a band has always been a difficult issue for small groups.  Social media has an advantage but Facebook will only take you so far.  Rich and Andy work daily to fine tune their website www.RichAndAndy.com to make sure the content stays relevant.  Adding show schedules, weekly date highlights and band news are just a few of the new items added.

Rich and Andy have been playing live music in Roanoke Virginia since 2007 and one thing has remained the same.  People love to go out and have dinner and even invite some friends along.  What customers do not want is a loud obnoxious band playing music so loud that people can’t enjoy the evening or even have conversations.  Rich and Andy added a biography page that addresses this issue by stating their playing policy.  No loud music, no foul language and a family friendly, fun show.

Yes, live music in Roanoke Virginia has come a long way recently with the addition of acoustic acts like Rich and Andy and many others.  Let’s hope the trend continues so future entertainers have a chance to entertain us all.
