The Underhill Family Orchestra
www.WeAreUnderhill.com
Listen: https://open.spotify.com/artist/6CLtrDyMbsjbKaOmIfqPvr?si=Ihfd8kU-QEaVweLOge5qMA
The Underhill Family Orchestra, native to the Alabama delta, has been described as “outright anthemic” taking their compositions to idyllic places that make you want to “paint your face, forget your age, and kiss a stranger.”
“Their debut, Tell Me That You Love Me, covers a lot of ground with just 10 tracks, from the horn-heavy funk on “When the Trumpet Sounds,” the soulful call and response on ‘Wooden Hymnal in C,’ the delicate ballad ‘On the Wind’ through to the gothic/almost hard rock gospel of ‘Oh Spirit, Bring Me Home.’ The band’s refusal to stick to a specific genre template on this record just adds to their appeal. ” -NeuFutur Mag
“An electrifying soulful affair.” – Americana Music Association
“Spinning on an axis of catchy, stomp-and-holler folk influenced by Southern rock and progressive pop, the band is full of call-and-response and five-part harmonies, playing like some combination of the Lone Bellow, Skinny Lister, and Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros.” —Glide

Welcome to the 10th anniversary of the BLUE RIDGE PRIDE pageant! This is a very important year for us, as Blue Ridge Pride is turning over a new leaf! This year our mission is “inclusion”. Meaning, any form of entertainer is welcome to compete for this prestigious title. We are opening up the requirements to better satisfy the members of our widely diverse and beautiful community. Drag isn’t just about the QUEENS.
This year we decided the best way to go is to allow any and all drag style entertainers the chance to win and reign as the face of Blue Ridge Pride. That includes but not limited to: Femmes, Queens, Transgender Entertainers, Kings, Misters, etc.. Our goal is to make everyone feel welcome within our community. No one left behind! As we dive into the 21st century the future of drag is changing. I just Figured we could be at the front of the uphill battle we have been fighting for years! With drag being engulfed in every media platform, on national television, and even bases of entertainment for children, what better way that to educate the uneducated than by showing the world what a diverse and beautiful community the Blue Ridge has to offer.
So with out further ado, if you think you have what it takes to be the next Blue Ridge Pride, We welcome YOU! And may the best HUMAN winnnn!

In this rollicking comedy, four friends have sworn to keep the promise they made on the night of their Senior Prom: to be in each other’s weddings, and hilarity ensues.
