With several albums and countless miles under their belts, Lord Nelson are a touring force. Playing everything from barns and dives to theaters and festivals across the country, their live show is an always evolving rowdy affair. Their last record, "Transmission," charted in the Americana Top 100 and they are in the process of finishing the follow up, to be released in 2024.

“With their first solo album in a decade, Sally Rose is getting back to their Americana roots. But don’t worry, they’re still a rock n’ roll riot grrrl at heart — and they're bringing some much needed queer femme representation to the world of country music” - RVA MAG. Sally Rose (they/them) is a country-queer songwriter, performer and activist native to Nelson County, Virginia. They grew up in a small, rural town listening to a broad spectrum of musical stylings, cutting their teeth young with a debut album at just 16 years old. With an affinity for Stax era soul records, Dylan-esque lyrical imagery, and the big feelings of alt rock n rollers Wilco, Pixies, and Beck - Sally Rose’s songwriting has borrowed from a multiverse of genres. Between The SRB, Shagwüf and two solo records, Sally Rose has released 9 full-length indie albums and shared the stage with top tier acts Taj Mahal, All Them Witches, Jon Spencer, The Coathangers, Charles Bradley, HR of Bad Brains, Old 97s, Grace Potter, and Jeff Tweedy. SR has spent the last 10 years sharpening their teeth touring with psych rock band Shagwüf, gaining attention from global publications like Spin Mag - “Shagwüf [is] arguably the best band ever to come out of Charlottesville”. The stillness of the pandemic however, led SR to rediscovering their love of just vocals and a guitar. Off stage, Sally Rose is a second degree black belt, founder of nonprofit Fight Like A GRRRL Club, and teaches self defense to folx in need. Whurk Magazine says "Bassist, front woman, martial artist, and all-around badass, Sally Rose is a force to be reckoned with. Besides their eponymously named group, The Sally Rose Band, they are also one-third of the gutter-glam rock outfit Shagwüf...With a flair for the dramatic and a killer roundhouse kick, Sally Rose is taking the Virginia music scene by storm."

Ali "Deau Eyes" is a singer-songwriter from Richmond, VA. She got her start busking in the subways of New York, managed to land herself on a cruise ship singing over 200 country songs per week for 6 months, and has since been touring and writing songs as Deau Eyes! She broke into the scene with two full length original albums, Let It Leave (2020) and Legacies (2022), along with writing and self-recording features on albums with McKinley Dixon and Ant the Symbol; in-studio with Landon Elliott, Woody Woodworth, Trey Burnart Hall, and beyond. In the past year she has won the Newlin Music Prize's Album of the Year, RVA Mag's Best Indie Artist, NPR's 2023 Artist to Watch, and Style Weekly's Top 40 Under 40. Every show from Deau Eyes is different, sometimes a life-giving solo performance, sometimes with a romantic string quartet, a rockin' band, and/or with the illustrious Charles Owens on saxophone.
We are thrilled to welcome Ali to Rapunzel’s for the first time! Help us give her a huge welcome!!!

We're offering a limited number of pre-sale tickets.
