Leesburg Listening Room: Brent Funkhouser and Mackenzie Roark
About this Event
Join us as the Leesburg Listening Room concert series returns!
This evening will feature regional artists Brent Funkhouser and Mackenzie Roark.
Brent Funkhouser’s style of achingly uplifting songwriting was born out of the river bends and mountain hollows of Virginia’s Shenandoah Valley. His songwriting displays influence from classics like Tom Petty, americana contemporaries like Jason Isbell, and Texas/red dirt songsters like Turnpike Troubadours, filtered through his mountain poet voice. The singer-songwriter has performed to hundreds of attentive audiences in nine states, opening for award-winning artists such as Judy Collins and Phil Vassar along the way.
Mackenzie Roark is a Virginia-based singer-songwriter and front woman of her Americana rock outfit, HOTPANTS. Drawing inspiration from the folk-rock sound of days gone by, she crafts poignantly introspective and authentic songs that highlight a deep reflection on everyday life. Her 2022 debut album, Rollin’ High, Feelin’ Low (Vocal Rest Records), showcases her seamless blend of 70s folk, classic rock, and country traditions, delivered with a fresh, introspective edge. Her sophomore album with HOTPANTS, Ghost of Rock and Roll, has been met with many positive reviews, such as the one in RnR Magazine, saying that HOTPANTS is "one of America's finest and least formulaic Americana combos.” Roark is devoted to continuing the DIY dream in Richmond and beyond by creating real, heartfelt music and performing both electrifying and intimate shows.
