Artist Bio:
Sam is the lead singer of River City Gang. Gangs are groups of individuals who share a common identity. Take Richmond, Virginia’s River City Gang, for example. Formed not far from the banks of the capital city’s James River, this talented trio of musicians realized early on that their individual talents fused together on stage to create something much bigger and infinitely more meaningful. Anchored by Virginia natives Sam Hayes (lead vocals) and Brian Friedman (guitars/vocals), River City Gang came together in many ways through a mutual admiration for the music and culture they were exposed to in the rural towns around Richmond, known to locals as “River City.” Hayes grew up toiling as a teenager in the lumberyards of Yorktown, while Friedman recalls a childhood spent helping out in the family general store in historic Short Pump. The two musicians would cross paths years later through the local music scene, but it wasn’t until meeting bassist David “Phoenix” Karns that the current RCG lineup officially formed in 2011. “Sam and I grew up not too far from the James River in the towns around Richmond, and something about the small town values and history of that area really helped shape us as performers and musicians, I think,” says Friedman. “And even though David’s not from Virginia, he clicked right away with what we were doing in the band. Once we found out that he was actually raised in small town near the Mississippi River in St. Louis off of Virginia Avenue, it all kind of made sense. RCG just seems like the natural place for all of us to be.”

Artist Bio:
Once you see Smoke 'n Guns in action, you'll be left with an experience you will never forget. The phrases "high energy" and "dynamic duo" hardly do these girls justice. Alecia Arnall's blues/rock 'n roll tone pairs magically with Lindsay Bowman's pop/country voice. During their show, you will hear anything from Carrie Underwood and Jason Aldean to Adele and Nicki Minaj. This duo definitely has something for everyone!
Lindsay Bowman grew up in Seaford, Virginia later relocating to Danville, Virginia. Lindsay, who started singing at age 4, made her solo singing debut at her grandmother's church in Danville. Growing up, Lindsay performed at many places, to include the National Anthem at Virginia International Raceway, Langley Speedway, South Boston Speedway, Martinsville Speedway and Danville Braves and Richmond Flying Squirrels baseball games. After winning a local competition in the Colgate Country Showdown, Lindsay earned a spot in the state competition in 2008, providing the opportunity to perform at the Virginia State Fair. In 2009, Lindsay was voted the winner of Kroger Idle which provided her the opportunity to perform the National Anthem before the NASCAR Truck Series Race at Martinsville Speedway in that October, which was aired nationally on the Speed Channel. That same year, Lindsay was crowned Miss Danville-Pittsylvania County. She later competed for the title of Miss Virginia, earning a spot in the top 11 semi-finals. Lindsay was able to perform her talent on live, state-wide television. In the summer of 2010, Lindsay was selected to appear on a new variety show called "Fast Track to Fame." She flew to Dallas, TX to film the show that would later air on the Speed Channel. In November 2010, local magazine "Evince" featured Lindsay in a cover story to promote her music and commend her efforts of working towards a singing career and staying busy volunteering within the community. From 2009-2011, Lindsay was part of the band Backstreet of Danville, VA. In the fall of 2011, Lindsay moved to Nashville, TN to pursue her singing career and follow her dreams.
