LOCKJAW PROMO STATEMENT:
The LockJaw Band originally formed in Crozet, Virginia in 2002 and performed until November 2019 at venues (Durty Nelly’s, Fellini’s, Kokopellis’, Uncle Charlies’, Restoration), weddings (UVA Alumni Hall, King Family Vineyard), events (Crozet Arts & Crafts Fair, Crozet Independence Day Celebration, Carter Mountain July 4th Celebration), private parties, and made numerous annual appearances at the Carter Mountain Sunset Series. After the Covid pandemic ended, three of the original members reformed as a 4-piece blues rock band playing primarily 60’, 70’s, 80’s classic rock covers. Our gigs also include a few classic country and R&B songs for variety. Artists covered include The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, CCR, Clapton, Cream, Dire Straits, Free, The Doors, BTO, The Eagles, Jimmy Buffett, Dwight Yoakam, Neil Diamond, Neil Young, Bad Company, Santana, The Clash, The Romantics, Jeff Beck, Aerosmith, ZZ Top, The Doobie Brothers, Lynyrd Skynyrd, The Allman Brothers Band, Van Morrison,Tony Joe White, Wilson Picket, Sam and Dave, Buddy Guy). The band has recently played well-attended gigs at the 2022 Carter Mountain Sunset Series, C’ville’s Durty Nelly’s Bar, and EJs’ Deli and Pub, and The Basic City Beer Company. If you are up for an evening of high energy blues rock, LockJaw is the band that covers some of the best music created by the “peace, love, dove, and Hare Krishna” generation.

Join us out in our slice of Free Union paradise as we kick off the month of December with music by Speidel, Morrison, and Burris! Gather your friends, grab your favorite wine from the Tasting Room, and enjoy an evening filled with the awesome tunes that Burris describes as “country tinged roots rock, with a nod to Texas blues and a good pop hook”. Friday, December 6th, from 6 to 8:30pm. Open to all. No cover.
Featuring:
Rusty Speidel (guitar/vocals)
Emily Morrison (keys/vocals)
Mike Burris (songwriter/guitar/vocals)
Bio:
In his debut album, Goodbye Town singer-songwriter Mike Burris explores what it means to have lived a full life, replete with sorrows and joys, and to know that some of his best days are still to come. Written over the course of two decades, these reflective songs study familiar themes like difficult love (“Enough of That”) and loss (“Letting You Go”), and they swirl with notions of restlessness (“Dead End Things”) and place (“Familiar Ground” and “Goodbye Town”). But wisdom wins the day on this record, as the album arcs toward feelings of contentment (“Satisfied”) and finding one’s emotional center (“Long Life”).
