Sharps Sessions - Past festival artists

Fast Heart Mart shreds on the bajno during Sharps V, 2010. This dude showed up with a band he had just put together 15 minutes before. Then he proceeded to blow our minds with his mad banjo skillz. You've never seen anyone play the banjo like this guy! Look for Fast Heart Mart to return in 2011.

Grey Matter at Sharps Sessions 2009

Charlottesville blues-funk-rockers Grey Matter blew us all away at Sharps 2009, with an amazing, high-energy set. Not a single ass wasn't shakin'.
