Faye Webster brought her alt-indie vibes to Brown’s Island a few weeks ago, turning the riverfront into a party for the night. She didn’t come alone. Webster came to town with juliea grunge/shoegaze outfit that oozes 90s nostalgia, and Benéta local singer-songwriter whose raw, emotional melodies would be recognizable to anyone who follows the Richmond music scene.
The night was a celebration for music fans, with local photographer Aspen DeRosa Snapshots that perfectly captured the sweat, the fuss and the sound.
And for those who don’t know, Faye Webster, an Atlanta-born singer-songwriter, has made a name for herself with her unique blend of indie and alternative music. She started her career early and self-released her debut album Running and telling at 16.
