Talks & Entertainment

The Last Bison is anything but typical. The seven-member ensemble led by Ben Hardesty has risen from the marshes of southeastern Virginia to captivate the national music scene with a rare blend of folk that is poetically steeped in classical influences. Already, the band has drawn comparisons folk rock superstars Mumford & Sons, The Decemberists, and Fleet Foxes.

But, none of them have a front man that shares the stage with his father and sister, nor uses a 75-year-old chaplain’s pump organ and Bolivian goat toenails on stage. The Last Bison is a tight knit community of family and friends that boasts a sound all its own.

Limited seating is available in our Downstairs venue. For those who require seating, please call in advance.
