A retrospective look back at two legendary Charlottesville bands (Skip Castro and The Casuals) and two notorious music venues (Trax and the Mineshaft) narrated by show flyers and other ephemera. First Fridays opening event is December 5th and the exhibit will be up through December 31st (closed to the public Christmas Eve through New Year's Day). Rich Tarbell is a portrait photographer and archivist who has made Charlottesville his home since arriving to attend the University of Virginia in 1987. He is active in the local music community and in 2017 published the book "Regarding Charlottesville Music," which led to a feature interview on NPR's "World Cafe" radio program. Locally you can catch him in the wild snapping shots of his faithful collaborators in rock, Shagwüf, or the Americana troubadours Chamomile & Whiskey. As a frequent contributor to Dürty Nelly's parking lot truck stage concerts, Rich loves an outdoor show with his golden retriever sidekick, Mazzy Starr.
Note: Rich is currently accepting pre-orders on his website for the reissue of the "Regarding Charlottesville Music" hardcover book, which is expected to ship in early 2026.
