Event Information

For Carbon Leaf, we have instituted a new hybrid seating arrangement. - A combination of Reserve and GA ticket options.

There are 200 GA tickets available. The GA section is in front of the Stage with a five row separation between the reserved seats Reserved seats start at row H.

This way, those who want to dance can and if you want a reserve seat, you can still get one and see the band without someone being right in front of you!

Carbon Leaf’s fifteenth studio album, Time is the Playground is both a call to action and an embrace of the moment. Marrying nostalgic storytelling to nuanced, folk-infused indie rock, the Richmond, Virginia band embroiders heartfelt melody and harmony with acoustic and electric instrumentation to create a 12-song rumination on time, love and personal growth that’s equal parts urgent epiphany and contented exhalation.

Originally formed as a college cover band in 1992 and with over 3,500 famously enthused liveshows together, Carbon Leaf helped to define the aughts indie rock that they ultimately outgrew and outlasted. They first earned national recognition with “The Boxer,” a song that won the American Music Awards 2002 New Music Award and made Carbon Leaf the first unsigned band to perform before millions on the AMAs

After a trio of charting albums for Vanguard Records, multiple songwriting awards and headlining shows, Carbon Leaf opted to return to the complete creative control of their indie roots. Guitarist Terry Clark, who co-founded the band with Privett and multi-instrumentalist Carter Gravatt, converted his garage into the band’s Two-Car Studio, where they’ve recorded releases for their own Constant Ivy imprint ever since. Carbon Leaf’s DIY spirit even extended to re-recording their three Vanguard albums in order to regain the rights.

Due in September, Time is the Playgrounds Carbon Leaf’s first full-length album in a decade, during which they released two EPS and a 27-song live performance album and Blu-ray. Time is the Playground gathers the best of songs written, in fits and starts, over 15 years, alongside brand-new ideas. Privett dusted off old demos and shut himself away for months to finish their stories, while also honing recent compositions. With Clark engineering, Carbon Leaf - completed by longtime bassist Jon Markel and drummer Jesse Humphrey - spent a year and a half recording and mixing the resulting songs

Masterfully melding saturated AC/DC guitar and squelchy Cars synth, “Backmask 1983” is a funflipbook of evocative era emblems - Farah Fawcett, “Satanic Panic,” Time Life Books, Bigfoot and more - that traverses the simultaneous nexus of Privett’s childhood/adolescence and the world’s analog/digital ages. It’s about morphing into a new person and a new planet with wide-eyed wonder and a longing to believe. “Without a whole lot of information, the mystery of things felt so heightened,” recalled Privett of growing up pre-Internet. “I wanted to capture some of that but also have fun with it.”“I want what we create to resonate with ourselves, to the level that we want to play it for a longtime to come, and where we want others to hear it and experience it,” Privett concluded.“Hopefully, listeners can glean the pieces from it that they identify with.
