UPCOMING EVENTS

• Bluemont Presents - Daryl Davis & Josh Christina 8/20/2017 7:00 PM 7:00 PM - Steps of R-MC's Mary Branch Residence Hall: The Daryl Davis & Josh Christina Band is a five-piece rhythm and blues rock band of the highest order. Davis is an extraordinary man, a great singer, pianist, guitarist, composer and fantastic boogie-woogie player. The band's instrumentals feature keyboards, rhythm and bass guitars, saxophone and drums and truly classic rock vocals. Davis has worked with the Muddy Waters Legendary Blues Band, Elvis Presley's Jordanaires, Chuck Berry, and other rock and blues greats. The legendary Berry praised Davis as a "Very, very fine musician. You really ought to hear him!"Keeping the music of the 1950's alive, Josh Christina, a young piano player from Baltimore County, has perfected the art of Rock n Roll. Influenced by Elvis Presley, Jerry Lee Lewis, Fats Domino and Ray Charles, Josh mixes it up with a blend of rock n roll, country and blues. Josh has been working with veteran musicians since he was 8 years old when he had his Junior Blues Brothers act. Josh caught the attention of Nashville-based producer Kent Wells (Dolly Parton' producer), who immediately got to work with Christina on his sophomore effort, "Good Old Love". His single "Kayla Ann" charted on the Nashville Music Row chart and went to number 1 on some independent charts.
