Leroy Virgil has been playing music that is honest and raw since 2004. There is none of the modern pop slickness that passes for country these days. Virgil’s music is as real as the grime and grit on old abandoned buildings in small towns like Reno NV, Butte MT, Aberdeen WA, and Woodland CA. “Basically I set out to write simple country songs in a simple language about my life and the lives of my scumbag friends and that is something you can’t get away with anymore in Nashville” says Leroy Virgil.
Virgil’s band Hellbound Glory has clocked thousands of mile on the road playing dive bars and honky tonks across the country and abroad. The humor inherent in Leroy’s life on the edge mindset shines through the bleakness with passionate full-throttle delivery. His rowdy style meshes the best of country’s past with the freewheeling abandon of the present day.

Jade Brodie is a Railroading songstress from northern Nevada. Drawing inspiration from the Blue Collar Hero and the away-frome-home lifestyle of the railroad. She writes her songs with a heavy train beat, strong will, and simple poetry.

Unlock Your Inner Artist with Dana Childs | 4 Week Series | Wednesdays | Beginning January 7th 2026
2026-01-07 10:00 - 13:00 | Brewery Arts Center | South Building | Painting Studio, 449 W King St, Carson City, NV, 89703, United States
Create your own masterpieces in this open-ended art experience. If you’ve ever dreamed of working on an artistic project—whether it’s painting, graphite, pen and ink, or even incorporating two- and three-dimensional textures or objects into your work of art—this is the workshop for you. This is a series of 4 workshops to give you the time and space to create your vision.

Over the course of the past nearly 30 years, Dana Childs has guided, taught, and facilitated courses and workshops that have helped produce professional artists as well as encouraged hobbyists to have the time of their lives and enjoy feeling successful. You can free the artist within you with as much or as little influence from outside as you desire. Weekly demonstrations serve to introduce or review basic art and design concepts, as well as experimental strategies. You can either follow along or continue to work on your own project during the demonstrations. Most of the time will be dedicated to individual time to work on your own projects, while Childs is there to offer assistance as needed.

About the Artist

“Variety is the spice of life!” declares the educationally eclectic Childs. She has been driven by an inexhaustible desire to learn, and then to pass on that which she learns to others. “One of my greatest passions in life is to either keep the flame of our innate love for learning alive, or to reignite this flame in the hearts of those whose flames have dwindled, or been completely dowsed,” says Childs. Whatever the subject matter, she remains enthusiastic about sharing information & helping others build skills that will serve them and others well.
With 20+ years experience teaching watercolor as well as graphite and acrylic mediums, Childs brings an in-depth understanding of how to connect with her students and pass on skills that empower her students to create to their hearts desire, with amazing results. “My job, if I do it well, is to work myself out of a job,” she says.

In plain words, Tommy Stinson is a great American musician. You can needle-drop at any juncture of the Minneapolis native’s four-decade-plus career and find a moment of great significance. Stinson was a founding and lifetime member of The Replacements. He was a key second-generation ingredient in Guns N’ Roses and served a seven-year tenure with Soul Asylum. He also led two essential bands of his own — the aptly named Bash & Pop and Perfect — appeared on recordings by the Old 97’s, MOTH and BT.
Joining Tommy will be special guest Karla Rose:
