In the spring of 2004, three downtown architects who shared a passion for bluegrass music
decided to pick a little one day at lunch down in the Shockoe Bottom area of Richmond,
Virginia. When the mandolin player brought his guitar pickin' brother along, a band was
formed. Taking their name from the area that has been the home to many of their  lunchtime
jams, the Boys' music is drawn from the catalogue of early bluegrass pioneers. Songs from
Bill Monroe, Ralph Stanley, Jimmy Martin and the Carter Family dot their playlist.

Please take a few minutes to look around our site. And if you are near the Canal
Walk/Turning Basin in the Bottom one sunny day during lunch, you may hear us playing!
