Pale Blue Dot

About Pale Blue Dot:

A band with a purpose, Pale Blue Dot writes songs about the things that truly matter. The group does not concern themselves with ego and heartache, focusing instead on the state of the world. Their songs encapsulate a sense of empathy that is both comforting and infectious, causing all who encounter them to work harder at leading more compassionate lives. The band wants to make you think as much as they make you feel, and it’s their dedication to influencing positive change that sets them apart from their peers.

Anyone who listens to Pale Blue Dot should consider themselves an explorer. The band’s catalog is an audio odyssey propelling the audience toward a deeper understanding of themselves and their place in the universe. Their creativity reflects Henry David Thoreau’s theory that music is a tether to the earliest of times and the latest, which grants us the unique gift of perspective. Being alive is about much more than the things we want, and Pale Blue Dot brings that understanding to listeners with catchy melodies backed by razor-sharp lyricism.

About Audacity Brass Band:

Audacity grew on campuses and flourished on the stage. Early in their career both Miller's Downtown and the band's sponsor, Three Roads Brewing, took notice of the band’s captivating, energetic performances and provided an outlet for the band to bring their music to the public. Audacity toured extensively in 2018 and 2019 following the drop of their second studio album, The Chemically Imbalanced. Their tight musicianship and gritty, driving performances earned the band a loyal following that ultimately paved the way to their landslide victory in the 2019 Rockn to Lockn competition and a spot on the 2019 Lockn main stage. Since then the band has also been featured in a variety of publications and media outlets including: Relix Magazine, Appalachian Vibes Radio Show, several podcasts and “Virginia This Morning”

Audacity’s musical style has continued to evolve, incorporating tight, funky grooves into the sounds of brassy, in-your-face musical force that is a New Orleans brass band. Their tight performances and regular appearances with some of the nation’s best musicians led to performances at the following events: Bayou Boogaloo Cajun Food and Music Festival, Baltimore Jazz Festival, Hightopps Backstage Bash Music Festival, SteveStock Music Festival, Heart of Virginia, Jamapalooza, Riverfest, and Bandfest.
