A great love for music and life. This is evident from the first note of every performance given by The Virginia James Duo. Hailing from the Boston Mass. area, these two have performed from Fenway Park to Harvard University to the “Gilded Age” Newport Mansions of coastal Rhode Island! With years of performance experience, formal training, and intuitive musicianship Alicia and Chris Farias bring to the table a diverse set of skills and influences. Combining vocal harmonies, guitar/bass, violin, male/female lead vocal they are able to deliver a wide variety of original and contemporary favorites from singer-songwriter style ballads to upbeat classic rock and R&B to roots based acoustic rock and folk. They may even throw in some Irish tunes! The band released its debut album “After the Storm Clears” in June 2021 to rave reviews and have a second album soon to be released. They can be found on Apple Music, Spotify, Amazon Music, and a host of other streaming platforms.
