The Brook & The Bluff: Bluebeard

The National (Richmond, VA)
04/11/2024

While most of their music is mellow and relaxing, The Brook & The Bluff performing live is energizing and electric. The alternative-pop band performed to a packed crowd at The National in Richmond, Virginia. The show came during the last few dates of their “Bluebeard” tour across America, in support of their newest release, their 4th full-length album, Bluebeard, which was released in fall of 2023.

The band performed many songs from Bluebeard, including acoustic songs “Knock” and “Prove You Wrong,” along with the fan favorites “Shelby” and “Everything Is Just A Mess” from their 2nd full-length album, First Place. The crowd remained fully immersed in the moment as the band switched from slower songs to faster, more intense songs throughout the night. After concluding a beautiful set, the band came back out to perform two songs from their debut full-length, self-titled album, “Masks” and “Rush,” to the crowd’s delight.

The Brook & The Bluff have just a few more dates on their headlining tour, and two festivals announced so far for the year – we hope to see more dates announced soon!
