Virginia Man and The Currys
Virginia Man and The Currys
Virginia Man is an emotional folk-and-roll band comprised of Kristian Lietzan (singer/songwriter), Stephen Amoruso (bass/vocals), and Jamaal Farrow (drummer). With poetic lyrics bellowing over the sounds of middle Appalachia, these gentlemen champion the sound of Virginia: a strange suspension between the cardinal directions, musical genres, and the changing of seasons.
With lots of new music arriving in 2023, the boys have been out on the road! The live show has become a favorite amongst members and audiences alike, like a sonic rollercoaster, akin to the plot of a great American classic, with gripping performances and storytelling, and celebratory beverages to follow.
The Currys have been staking their claim within the Americana music scene since 2013, when vocalist/guitarist Tommy Curry quit his teaching job and moved to Charlottesville, Virginia, to join the harmony-based folk-rock outfit newly formed by brother Jimmy Curry (vocals, guitar) and cousin Galen Curry (vocals, bass). The band, who cut their teeth playing the oyster bars and listening rooms of the Florida Panhandle, have since written and released three full-length albums: their studio debut Follow (2014), called “eye-opening, but warmly familiar” by Earmilk, and whose title track is “one of the most beautiful pieces of music I’ve ever heard” (Todd Moe of NCPR); sophomore effort West of Here (2016), with its “tight-as-a-rubber-band” harmonies and “infectious” songwriting (PopMatters); and This Side of the Glass (2019).
In 2020, The Currys began releasing a weekly podcast, This Side of the Mic, to showcase new song ideas and remain engaged in the creative process during the pandemic-induced downtimes. The podcast allowed The Currys to expand their writing and production palettes and this evolution resulted in genre-hopping single releases such as “Man on the Side” and “Last Night.”
2023 will see the release of Keepers, the 4th studio album from The Currys in which the band explores new sonic territories beyond the folk-rock world and into an indie-rock sphere. The common thread throughout all of this evolution is the thoughtful songwriting, attention to detail, and three part harmonies.
"Stirring vocals...from a promising new band." - C-Ville Weekly
“...toothsome and satisfying…” - Popshifter on West of Here
"It’s is almost impossible not to be moved, physically and metaphorically, by the gorgeously composed tracks on this album." - Wordkrapht on Follow
