Tom Lohrmann + Bandits & Beggars + + Brightwork April 3, 2012

Relatable. Unique. Incomparable. That is how the music of Tom Lohrmann has been described. With influences ranging from Pop, 70's Rock, Dance, and Alternative genres, Tom Lohrmann has created a sound of his own. Live on stage is where it all comes together, as the band delivers one of the most electric shows in Northern VA on a consistent basis. With two albums on iTunes, and the hit single "Back In My Head" on the way, it is impossible not to expect big things from this band in 2012.

Having only been around for less than a year, Bandits & Beggars has already made their mark on the East Coast. Hailing from Fairfax, VA, this quartet sets out to deliver an unforgettable show with their catchy tunes and energetic stage presence. Their music is well-received in any given venue, with sounds ranging from a raw powerhouse of guitar-driven rock punctuated by complex rhythms, to somber melodies accentuated by soaring vocals.

Hailing from Charlottesville, VA, Brightwork booked their first show in May of '09 before having a band practice. With the pressure on, the fledgling group of college friends logged a series of marathon practices holed up in stuffy basements and fly-ridden trailers. By the end of a long and rewarding summer of writing and performing, members Caleb Carpenter (vocals, guitar), Brian Hrubik (keys, guitar, vocals), Andrew Boyd (drums), and Seth Hayes (bass) discovered that their direction had evolved from a project into a calling. Since then, they have shared the stage with several national touring acts including Sanctus Real, Future of Forestry, Starfield, and Revive. Through recording their debut EP in the spring of '10 with producer Scott Campbell (Mainstay), Brightwork has forged their own sound amidst a sea of musical influences. The blended textures of overdriven crunch and warm piano.
