10 Years in the Making!

WHAT TIME IS IT???? Time to reveal our plans for 2026 and the 10 year celebration of all things ROWDY! That's right gentle reader, On March 11, 2026, the Rowdy Ace Band celebrated our 10th year playing music in the Northern Virginia area. What a hell of a ride it has been! But we're not done yet!

Last year, we started planning what we wanted to do to really mark our 10th year. We talked about a mini-tour to Nashville, or big event at a local venue, or just running around all over the area doing as many shows as we could. In the end, we decided to celebrate locally with shows in fan-favorite venues with some of our musician friends and just have some parties! We're excited to announce the 10th Anniversary Celebration shows TODAY!

First, on March 28, we are headed to the newly renovated Barn of Harper's Ferry over in West Virginia. This is a place where we've had so much fun playing for the locals as well as friends from Virginia, Maryland and WV. The place just looks and feels like home to our band. We've teamed up with Chad at the Barn to be the place where we are going to shoot some video footage to support our two original singles coming out in early Summer. AND YOU GET TO BE IN THE VIDEO! Shine up those boots, pull on those hats and let's get ROWDY at the Barn. No Cover Charge, Drink Specials All Night, and we'll shoot the whole thing. It will also be the first night that we are highlighting the two Original singles called "Beer County Line" and "You're Loved".

Next, we wanted to do a big show in a big venue, but the one we wanted...well they just wouldn't respond to us. So we decided why not do two shows...one in Loudoun County and one in Prince William County so that our biggest concentration of fans can have at least one of these shows near to them (please come to both!).

On June 20, we will have the "Rowdy Ace Band 10th Anniversary Jam" at Bear Chase Brewing. If you know the place, you know that it is one of the largest breweries in the area and is known for award winning beer, beautiful views, an excellent staff, and one of our favorites to play for and work with. We've got a whole day of country music planned for you, and we're bringing our ROWDY friends with us. Kicking off the day will be the awesome stylings of Sarah Cooper and her chill country vibes. Next up will be the boys in Fork in the Road and their country rock sound. Then our buddy Mark Cullinane will take the stage with his West Virginia, country boy vocals! Lastly, we'll take the stage to bring it all together. And in our show, we are planning some surprises. This is a day you will not want to miss.

Next, we wanted to finish up the anniversary shows in a place that has come to be a second home to all of us. On September 19, the Winery at Sunshine Ridge Farm will be the location for "RowdyFest". Set on the banks of Lake Manassas and also known for great beer, award winning wine, and fantastic hospitality, Sunshine Ridge will be a great place to bring the show in PW County. And again...we've got a line up like no other. Starting the day will be Joe Bouch from the 90's tribute band "Cumberland Road". Joe will get y'all warmed up with his great country vocals. Then...we're turning the energy up to 11 with Leroy Burks and the Voodoo Whisky Band. You will not want to get up and pee while LB and the band are on stage! And what would a 10th Anniversary celebration be without our buddy and friend, Tommy Bouch from the world renowned band "Delta Spur"? After Tommy, it's going to be a blast for us to play for y'all and again bring some surprises and fun to our time on the stage.

It is still hard to believe we've been doing this for 10 years in the area. You all have been so supportive and the only way we could think to pay you back was to put on shows with no tickets, no cover charges, just great shows, with our music friends and you the fans! You are the reason we keep doing this, and here's our chance to give back some of that energy to you. Put these dates on your calendars. be prepared to bring your best #ROWDYCROWD attitudes with you, and help us celebrate #10YearsGettinRowdy.
