The Butcher Brown & The Richmond Symphony Put On A Show

by | Jan 18, 2023 | MUSIC

Butcher Brown, the progressive jazz masters from Richmond, played a special show in partnership with the Richmond Symphony over the Martin Luther King Jr. weekend. The show featured 10 of their tunes arranged by Richmond’s own Trey Pollard and Tim Barrons which they performed in front of 2000+ people at the Dominion Energy Center. The band has been blending jazz, funk, hip hop, soul, rock and other genres that inspire them since 2013 and have been representing Richmond with pride all around the world but this was the first time performing with a symphony. Enjoy!

In 2005, I created RVA Magazine, and I'm still at the helm as its publisher. From day one, it’s been about pushing the “RVA” identity, celebrating the raw creativity and grit of this city. Along the way, we’ve hosted events, published stacks of issues, and, most importantly, connected with a hell of a lot of remarkable people who make this place what it is. Catch me at @majormajor____
