Thanks to the Winchester Star and ace reporter Jackie Puglisi for writing a great feature article about the Bitter Liberals in today’s Winchester Star (Saturday May 28). We’re proud of the band and what we’ve accomplished together, and we had fun talking to Jackie about that and about our upcoming show at the Barns of […]
Since we started performing our original music in September 2012 we’ve done 33 shows in venues all over the region from Richmond to Hampton to Shepherdstown. Our very first public appearance was at the Barns of Rose Hill opening for Nashville talent David Olney on September 19, 2012. We played our first full length headlining […]
We appreciate people who love our art (music, that is; you, that is), and we also appreciate fellow artists who create visual art. We do what we can to cross pollinate with the visual arts whenever possible—bringing you original visual art with all of our musical shows. Take, for example, our go to band artist […]

The Bitter Liberals are headed down to Union, West Virginia, this Saturday to perform Clark’s Civil War show Dream of a Good Death. We love performing because it is really fun, but this should be an interesting show for other reasons too. We will be playing in an old African Methodist church, named after the son […]

You all know that the Bitter Liberals are playing a show this Saturday night in Richmond at the Tin Pan. But did you know that we’ll be celebrating two band birthdays? One of us (the young one) will be celebrating turning 50 with fiddle in hand. The other of us (who shall also remain un-named) […]
Last week’s musica extravaganza was a doozy. Not only did we figure out sets for the Richmond show coming up on the 20th (do you have your tickets?). We also added multi-instrumentalist Charles Arthur to the mix. Charles played some mando, some dobro, and some banjo. You’ll love it! Pack your cases, it’s time for […]
