Interview with The Virginmarys – Santa Rosa show

March 9, 2016

We are pleased to bring you our interview with The Virginmarys as they made a stop in Santa Rosa for their tour with Shinedown. The show was incredible as they delivered a flawless set. They truly left an impression on the audience at the Wells Fargo Event Center and it was no surprise that everyone would be singing their praise. Here is our interview and we were able to include a couple of the fan submitted questions from The Virginmarys Fan Community on Twitter. (Make sure to follow them now that you are a VMS fan!) We had hoped to include all of the fan questions but we didn’t want to take up too much of the guys time before they performed. We will make sure to do another one with them and will put the call out to the dedicated fans once again. You can also check out the photos of their set here by our Rockin Ryan: The Virginmarys are an incredible live band. Ally Dickaty on vocals/guitar is fierce as he bounces around and fills [Read More]

The Virginmarys played to a near sold out crowd and blew everyone away with their set. They delivered their signature vibrant punk edge rock that had the audience applauding their praise. They kicked off the set with their highly energetic track, Bang, Bang, Bang and they continued with favorites off their King of Conflict album as well as treating us to several new songs off the album. It was impressive to see them perform Into Dust and For You My Love and finishing the night off with a fierce Motherless Land. We were honored to see drummer Danny Dolan sporting a [Read More]
