WE ARE FUGAZI FROM WASHINGTON, D.C.
Wed 11/12
6:00 pm - Doors Open | 7:00 pm - Screening
Location: Main Theatre
2025 | Runtime: 1:36 | Genre: NOT A Documentary | Not Rated
General Admission: $12.66 (base + tax)
A percentage of the proceeds from this event will go to support Good Samaritan Hospice House.
Created to commemorate the 20 years that have passed since DC-based post-hardcore band Fugazi’s last live appearance (November 4, 2002, at The Forum in London), We Are Fugazi from Washington, D.C. is a 96-minute movie comprising crowd sourced, fan recorded live shows and rare archive footage of Fugazi curated by Joe Gross, Joseph Pattisall and Jeff Krulik.
Explicitly billed as a nondocumentary (tHISiSNOTaFUGAZIdOCUMENTARY,) the film pays tribute to Fugazi’s prowess as a live act — for old fans to remember and for a new generation to discover what they missed. This unique archival assemblage celebrates the fans and their cameras, as much as the band itself — a collision/ collusion of the ephemeral moment on stage, and the moments captured on camera.
Curators: Joe Gross, Jeff Krulik, Joseph Pattisall

Location: Main Theatre
ALBUM RELEASE SHOW
General Admission: $22 + tax - Advance, $25 + tax - Day of Show.
Caitlin Krisko & The Broadcast deliver gritty rock & roll soaked in deep roots and blues influences, led by the commanding vocals of powerhouse frontwoman Caitlin Krisko. Since their rebrand in 2021, the band has built a fiercely loyal following across the US and UK, earning critical acclaim and major festival slots for their electrifying, emotionally charged performances. Rolling Stone calls Krisko “one of the best-kept vocal secrets of the Southeast,” and in 2024, the band took a bold creative leap with their self-produced EP Blueprints, a soulful, anthemic collection that landed playlist placements, radio support, and praise for its raw vulnerability.
With past support slots for legends like Mavis Staples, Marcus King, Blackberry Smoke, Samantha Fish, Robert Randolph, and Margo Price, the band continues to rise. Krisko recently stepped into a new role as host of the storied Buffalo Mountain Jam at FloydFest, solidifying her as a staple of the modern roots rock scene.
Erin Lunsford is an award-winning singer, songwriter, and multi-instrumentalist from Fincastle, VA, now based in Richmond. Best known as the powerhouse frontwoman of indie-pop/soul band Erin & The Wildfire, Lunsford blends Appalachian roots with soulful, genre-defying vocals that have drawn praise from NPR and Rolling Stone Country.

PALMYRA
Wed 12/3
6:00 pm - Doors | 6:30 pm - Clover Lynn | 7:00 pm - Dogwood Tales | 8:00 pm - PALMYRA!!!
Location: Main Theatre
General Admission: $24 + tax Advance, $27 + tax Day of Show
Established in Virginia’s Shenandoah Valley, Palmyra captures the collective spirit of three Virginia natives: Teddy Chipouras, Mānoa Bell, and Sasha Landon. Palmyra straddles at least two musical worlds. They are, on one hand, a band from the South that plays traditional instruments and indeed once lived in the old-time locus of Floyd, Virginia. Comparisons to and a kinship with The Avett Brothers and even Old Crow Medicine Show are inevitable. On the other hand, Palmyra writes about grief, gender dysphoria and identity, and coming of age in songs that flirt with soul, post-rock, and even emo; the South, too, is the place of My Morning Jacket, Band of Horses, Cat Power, and now, Palmyra.
The band’s first full length LP, Restless, is out now on Oh Boy Records. Framed by moments of struggle, solidarity, and hard-won growth, Restless is an unqualified ringer for anyone who loves the space where the roar of indie rock collides with raw folk.
