People's Blues of Richmond @Barrelhouse South

EVERY time People’s Blues of Richmond comes through town, it’s all anyone can talk about the next day. Don’t be the one hearing about it secondhand!

The three-piece from—any guesses?— Richmond, Virginia combines psychedelic rock, blues drive, and carnival weirdness for a show that’s landed them headlining Bowery Ballroom shows and bill shares with Tom Petty, Dinosaur Jr., and Modest Mouse.

The guitar work is fire, the inner-band dynamics entrancing, the melodies instantly sing-along-able.

People’s Blues comes to town with Cycles, a trio specializing in a unique fusion of rock, jazz, hip-hop, soul, and funk.
