SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 21, 2024

A one-night only collaborative musical journey performing big band reimaginings of original music and favorite songs from the 60s through today.

Deau Eyes is an award-winning singer-songwriter/producer based in Richmond, VA. Whether playing only with her guitar, duo with Charles Owens on saxophone, simultaneously singing and conducting a string quartet, with her full rock band, and now BIG B4ND, Deau’s high-energy shows and powerhouse vocals have made a prominent mark on the Richmond scene. Within the last year she’s been awarded the Newlin Music Prize for Best Album, listed on NPR- Slingshot’s Artists to Watch, awarded RVA Mag’s Best Indie Artist, and both Style Weekly’s Best of Richmond (Singer-Songwriter) and Top 40 Under 40. Her music is filled with sophisticated ear worms, lilting in a smooth grit found in art-pop and Americana with a wide range of full-throttle rockstar energy.

Sparking new RVA traditions, her 3rd Annual Tour de Richmond in September features 10 days of consecutive shows, all varying styles, band members, and venues, encouraging audiences to get out and stamp their passport as a tourist in their own city. Another staple event is their 4th Annual Holiday Party, an immersive festive show experience to look forward to in December. Deau Eyes holds an eclectic history of collaborations and has written, co-produced, and released two full-length albums, Let It Leave (2020) and Legacies (2022).

Andrew Randazzo is a passionate musician whose love for music transcends genres and roles. Based in Richmond, VA, he is a versatile freelance bassist, adjunct professor of bass at Virginia Commonwealth University, and an integral member of the soul fusion quintet, Butcher Brown. Randazzo's musical essence lies in crafting infectious grooves that honor tradition while pushing the boundaries of contemporary music.

Joining Butcher Brown after college marked a significant milestone for Randazzo. His induction to the band was recording with trumpet virtuoso Nicholas Payton for his 2014 album "Numbers". Since then he has continued to be a full time member of the band, contributing to 8 full length albums and hundreds of shows spanning the globe.

Since 2017, Randazzo has spearheaded the R4ND4ZZO BIGB4ND, Richmond’s premier modern big band ensemble. His prolific creativity shines through an impressive repertoire of original arrangements, spanning jazz, rock, soul, RnB, and hip hop. The BIGB4ND's contributions can be heard on notable releases such as Butcher Brown’s “Triple Trey” and Charles Owens’ “Three and Thirteen”.

With only 85 seats, shows at Révéler are intimate and immersive. A romantic venue with exquisite sound and dreamy vibes, Révéler offers a unique selection of cocktails, wines, beers, bubbles, and non-alcoholic beverages.
