CHARLIE HUNTER - HYBRID GUITAR/BASS

A pioneer of the eight-string guitar, he now plays custom six and seven string guitars. His solo work and collaborations, including SuperBlue with preeminent jazz vocalist Kurt Elling, showcase his artistry as he tours worldwide.

His collaborations with some of the biggest names in music are staggering: D’Aneglo, John Mayer, Frank Ocean, Christian McBride — we can keep going.


CORY FONVILLE - DRUMS

Corey Fonville, an influential drummer in today's music scene, most notably with Butcher Brown. He has dedicated his life to learning the craft and its history to be one of the best drummers of his time. As an artist and music-enthusiast, he studied a variety of genres, mostly through his father’s music collection, which generally consisted of jazz, R&B, alternative and funk. His skills are rooted in an eclectic background and call attention to the fact that music is hard to typify.

Since the age of two, Fonville hasn’t been able to put the sticks down -- music was always his passion. He first started creating a buzz after high school when he attended New School for Jazz and Contemporary Music. Originally from Virginia Beach, VA, Corey has played with many great musicians who helped him develop as a drummer, but also introduced him to the life of a touring artist.

While he lived in New York City, he played almost every night with prominent artists from the city and quickly made close connections with influential musicians. He eventually left New School to study at the Dave Brubeck Institute in Stockton, CA where he received a full scholarship to play drums.


Nate Clark - Sax

Nate Clark is a young artist on the rise. Put him on your radar. Clark is a Richmond-based saxophonist and alumnus of Virginia Commonwealth University, where he earned a degree in Jazz Studies . Since 2016, he’s been best known as “The Soloist” with Weekend Plans, a Richmond collective where his expressive solos anchor the band’s vibrant sound.

In addition to his work with Weekend Plans, Nate regularly performs around Richmond with bands like E 33rd, Dhemo, Abby Huston, and The Slank. His approach draws from diverse influences, and he’s passionate about bringing saxophone to new musical spaces.
