The Jackie Frost Ensemble is a Blues and Bluegrass band from Richmond that received two nominations – Album of the Year and Song of the Year at the 2006 Independent Music Awards. JFE has performed for over ten years at venues in the Richmond, VA area as well as on TV, radio, and with the Richmond Symphony. Fans of all ages enjoy the music of the JFE, which runs the gamut from straight ahead delta blues, to jazz-influenced improvisational standards and from bluegrass powered arrangements of easily recognizable covers to original material that can only be heard at a Jackie Frost Ensemble show.

The Fods (Friends of Dave) perform a fusion of traditional and contemporary Scots, Irish, English, and American music that they refer to as "AngloAmeriCeltic Folk." They are a group of the late Dave Mucklow's friends who performed at the concert in his memory last September and have continued playing together since, including Bud Diehl, Jimmy and Robin Payne, and Scott Hammer.
