We're celebrating the Orioles home opener! $1 Hot dogs, $2 Natty Boh, and we'll be showing it on the big screen out back! Let's bring some of that famous magic to Get Tight Lounge!

Join us for an evening of springtime festivities in celebration of the new album release of Richmond's very own Leslie & The Dots!

Leslie Lilburn is a Northside singer-songwriter who grew up in scenic Front Royal, VA and moved to Richmond in 2021. His vocation was thrust upon him in his youth as a result of constant and intense exposure to the music of the British Invasion; later in life, a love of the country music of the 60s and 70s seeped into his brain. The powerful synthesis that resulted produces songs of joy, beauty, and heartbreak that would make a fine addition to the soundtrack of a Tarantino film. He passes his time in a well-appointed garage studio, Murphy’s Pocket, with his band, The Dots. The Dots came to be through serendipitous occurrences, years of friendship, and frequenting a delicious local staple of a restaurant, Dots Back Inn. Consisting of Michael Lamp, Robert Whitehead, and Kevin Vorhis, The Dots bring a plethora of varied musical influences together to help create something beautifully unique, yet complimentary to Leslie’s songwriting.

Joining them on stage is another local gem, Roughshod, featuring the alternative rock sounds of Cel, Austin Ruhf, Ian Marburger, Bram Crowe-Getty, and Ian Atchison.

Also joining them is Brookhouse, featuring a chameleonic mix of rock, Latin jazz, and Americana as a celebration of the American melting pot as an experiential expresssion of exposure to many cultures as the son of a Cuban-American and a lifelong Virginian. Acoustic and electric, English and Spanish, carefree and deathly serious, this music shows that wherever you’re from, you contain multitudes. And nothing is more thrilling than being unapologetically yourself.

Join us for an energetic evening of live music featuring Chirp! This four-piece band based out of Detroit, MI, does their fair share of genre-hopping. Often playing in the styles of progressive rock/funk and jazz-fusion, their sound maintains a melodic center. The group features a wide array of originals and covers in their live sets and puts together dynamic, high-energy shows. Though their music ties in many technical elements, an equal emphasis is put on grooving and keeping people moving. Chirp takes influence from Snarky Puppy, Steely Dan, Led Zeppelin, James Brown, Yes, Daft Punk, Vulfpeck, and The Beatles to name a few. Chirp has been hard at work since their formation in 2015, touring and recording consistently since the project began. Their fresh sound has taken them touring across the country to play a large variety of venues and festivals. Chirp is Jay Frydenlund, Brian Long, Sam Naples, and Patrick Blommel. Can't wait to see you there!

Join us for an incredible evening with Richmond-based rock outfit, Mister Earthbound! This group has rapidly hooked a diverse and growing global fanbase with their uniquely psychedelic, doom-tinged take on the classic swamp rock sound. With influences from 13th Floor Elevators to Robert Johnson and beyond, Mister Earthbound’s electric blend of searing riffs, haunting vocals, and driving rhythms is unmistakable both in the studio and on stage alongside sonic titans like Dead Meadow and Weedeater. Mister Earthbound has been described as Richmond’s answer to The Doors with the amps dimed out; they've managed to maintain an old school blues sound while having no problem sharing the bed with metal.

Join us for a genre-bending evening of springtime witchy vibes featuring the experiential journey of Wicca Phase Springs Eternal!

This project has been the moniker and creative persona of Pennsylvania-based singer, songwriter, producer, and multi-instrumentalist Adam McIlwee for over a decade. The name is as enigmatic as McIlwee’s work, a fittingly esoteric umbrella for his ever-growing and ever-evolving catalog of music that’s been released at a stunning quality and pace. So it’s with great intention that the name is now also the title of McIlwee’s latest full-length: Wicca Phase Springs Eternal offers the musician’s most finely honed and welcoming songs to date, but it’s more than just a self-titled album–it’s a portal, an entryway into an entire world. Inspired by the musings of ‘60s and ‘70s British folk bands such as Fairport Convention and Pentangle, McIlwee hunkered down in the Western Catskills and Abington Township in Pennsylvania, absorbing the scenery and trying to translate the beauty of his surroundings into an immersive experience. He began to expand the WPSE lore and fashion a more colorful and descriptive body of work–one where he still wears his heart on his sleeve, but now all of the longing and heartache exist in a vivid space that’s strikingly real and otherworldly all at once. The sound of Wicca Phase began to grow as well: never wanting the project to be defined by a genre, McIlwee worked closely with longtime collaborator Darcy Baylis, as well as newcomer Ben Greenberg, to continue to bring new styles and moods into WPSE. Looking to incorporate his love of EDM, trance, and house sounds, McIlwee and co. created an amalgam of ‘80s and ‘90s breakbeat style drums, modernistic 808s, shimmering synths, and washes of reverberating guitar and organic bass.

Joining them on stage is Canadian artist, Hannah Judge's fanclubwallet! Often categorized as bedroom-pop, Judge has also proven her chops in more rock-leaning indie sounds.

Join us for an unforgettable evening featuring live music from Ramona & The Holy Smokes, Mose Wilson, and Cassidy Snider & The Wranglers!

Based in Central Virginia and with family roots in South Texas, Ramona and the Holy Smokes represent a new generation of honky tonk music. With powerful female vocals that cover an emotional range from determined to comic to vulnerable and a talented backing band steeped in classic country and western styles of the 1950s, 1960s, and 1970s, the band exhibits a “clarity and sincerity that bring Patsy Cline to mind” (Nashville Scene, 2025). Fronted by Ramona Martinez, whose songwriting has earned her recognition from Wide Open Country as one of the "15 Latino Artists Shaping Country Music," this Charlottesville, Virginia-based band is rooted in the traditional sounds of country music but unafraid of pushing boundaries and highlighting the connections across border cultures. They have appeared at several Americana festivals including Red Wing Roots (2024), Rooster Walk (2025), Bristol Rhythm & Roots (2025), and has opened for touring artists like Margo Cilker, Colby Acuff, Willi Carlisle, Redd Volkaert, Joshua Hedley, Donna the Buffalo, and Kashus Culpepper.

Joined on stage by Mose Wilson, a dynamic artist whose music weaves together the rich traditions of roots, country, and Americana with vibrant threads of soul, funk, rock & roll, and bluegrass. Hailing from a lineage that marks him as the first traditional musician in his family, Mose began his musical journey at the tender age of six, strumming his first guitar and leading hymns in church. This early exposure to music ignited a passion for songwriting, deeply influenced by legendary artists such as Hank Williams, Johnny Cash, Waylon Jennings, Willie Nelson, and Lynyrd Skynyrd. With a distinctive sound that reflects life’s complexities—from love and heartbreak to the philosophical musings of existence—Mose’s music resonates with authenticity and depth. His thought-provoking lyrics explore themes of hard work, the nightlife, and the poignant realities of family and mortality.

Joined by another local gem, Cassidy Snider & The Wranglers! Led by the traveling troubadour, Cassidy Snider, this folk outlet is a grassy assortment of her wanderlust-filled soul with sounds of the New Orleans bayou, the blue ridge mountains, and every accent between. From dive bar corners to venue bright lights, each song kicks dirt off the dance floor with story-filled twang. Blending genres, yet always tinged in Cassidy's blues, they have developed a unique sound that morphs the musical styles of the American past with a voicing that can only be sung by this band's bright future.
