palmyra
Established in Virginia’s Shenandoah Valley, Palmyra explores the fusion of traditional folk string instruments, lush harmony, and earnest songwriting. The trio, now based in Richmond, captures the collective spirit of three Virginia natives: Teddy Chipouras, Mānoa Bell, and Sasha Landon. Often described as a distant cousin to The Avett Brothers and The Wood Brothers, Palmyra nods toward Appalachian and Midwestern Americana, with intricate arrangements that create the illusion of a full, larger-than-three ensemble.

zach person
Let’s Get Loud is the title of guitarist Zach Person’s second album, but it’s also a mission statement that informs both the sound of his music and the impact it might have on listeners. While he’s often mislabeled by critics and fans alike as a blues artist, Person, 27, draws from a dizzying range of sources: post-rock shimmer, psych-metal shredding, classic rock swagger, and the punk bravado. It’s intense, bracing, smart, and very loud, especially for a two-man band: just Zach Person and drummer Jake Wyble.
