Yer Buddy Promotions' Exceptional Musical Talent
Russ Hopkins Band
Russ Hopkins is a celebrated singer/songwriter with 12 solo albums and international performances across India, Australia, and Switzerland. Known for his distinctive guitar style and heartfelt songwriting, Russ has shared stages with legends like Odetta, John McEuen, and John Sebastian. Originally from Long Island, he now calls Northern Colorado home.
Jess Amedee brings a lifetime of rhythm, shaped by early performances with The Subdudes and mentorship from his father, Steve Amedée. His influences span Richie Hayward to Billy Cobham, and his resume includes six seasons as a pitcher in the Pittsburgh Pirates organization—plus gigs with Liz Barnez, West Side Joe & The Men of Soul, and more.
Andy Blanton rounds out the trio on bass. A longtime on-air personality at KRFC FM, Andy’s deep ties to the Front Range music scene make him a trusted groove-maker and collaborator.
Sweet Virginia
Raised in Auburn, Alabama, Sweet Virginia’s roots run deep in the red clay and gospel harmonies of the South.
She picked up the guitar as a child and found her voice singing in church, where her love for honest storytelling and soulful melodies first took hold.
Now based in Northern Colorado, Sweet Virginia has become a vibrant force in the local music scene. She’s shared the stage with artists like Hayes Carll, Amos Lee, and River Whyless — a testament to her growing influence and magnetic presence.
Blending the grit of indie rock with the warmth of classic country, Sweet Virginia crafts songs that feel both timeless and refreshingly new. Her music is raw and unfiltered — reflections on life, love, and the spaces in between — carried by a voice that’s as tender as it is commanding.
Inspired by the likes of Emmylou Harris, Shakey Graves, and Brandi Carlile, Sweet Virginia channels the spirit of these trailblazers while forging her own path with authenticity and heart. Whether on stage or in the studio, her performances captivate with honesty, vulnerability, and unmistakable Southern charm.
Charlie Stevens Band
The Charlie Stevens Band draws from the hard-driving sounds of the Bluegrass world to create new, and exciting, acoustic music.
In addition to Bluegrass, they are influenced by various other styles rooted in the American tradition. Most notably, Rock and Roll, and the Blues.
Cover songs range widely. Including: traditional Bluegrass, such as Bill Monroe and The Stanley Brothers; progressive Bluegrass, such as David Grisman and John Hartford; Rock and Roll, such as The Grateful Dead, Cream, and The Allman Brothers; and even current artists like Billy Strings.
Charlie's original songs blend all of these influences together in a way that's fresh and fun to listen to. Up-tempo tunes featuring blazing fast solos, and powerhouse vocals, make this an exciting group to see live, regardless of musical preference.
