RVA MUSIC FEST: Proverbial

by | Aug 31, 2011 | COMMUNITY

This seven-piece jam band mixes elements of reggae, funk, jazz, hip-hop, and alternative rock together into a sound consisting of catchy, eclectic grooves for miles. Proverbial formed only two years ago, but have gotten a lot done in the short time they’ve been together, winning both Y101’s 2009 Rock Off and 102.1 The X’s 2010 Local Exposure competition, and playing plenty of gigs opening for a variety of national acts over the past couple of years. They’ve also found time to record a new self-titled album, which was released earlier this year and is available for purchase on iTunes, so check it out! Proverbial will be performing at the RVA Music Fest on Stage Two during the Main Event on Sunday September 11.
