“Virginia native Ben Long was a guitar player first. From the age of 14 he became obsessed with the likes of Jimi Hendrix, SRV, John Frusciante, and John Mayer. It wasn’t until the age of 18 during a summer semester at Berklee College of Music that he started to hone in on the craft of songwriting. During his time in Boston, his influences became widely broadened. Whether it’s the guitar playing of the 60s, the lyrical sense of folk, or that new age flair of alternative and indie music…”

🎸 Skinner Box | 8:00 – 11:00 PM Close out the night with Skinner Box bringing the heat into the evening. This is the set people will be talking about on the way home.

Founded by Williamsburg local, Dave Baum, Billsburg Brewery was born from a love of traditional lagers, pilsners and ales and Dave’s desire to create a space where family, friends, and the community as a whole could gather together and make great memories. The brewery is nestled on a 10-acre marina with breathtaking views on the water, just off the Colonial Parkway, and mere miles from America’s original brewery.

Williamsburg Virginia Live Music Local Music Finder Mike DeMossAbout Mike DeMoss

If you’re exploring Williamsburg, Virginia and wondering where all the good vibes are coming from, there’s a solid chance it’s Mike DeMoss holding court with his signature acoustic style. Mike brings the same smooth vocals and easygoing charm he’s known for on the coast, but with a Williamsburg twist—think colonial‑era ambiance meets modern‑day “wow, this guy’s good.”

Whether he’s playing on a breezy patio in Merchants Square or moving indoors when Virginia weather decides to be dramatic, Mike’s sets always feel warm, relaxed, and just a little addictive. Locals love him, tourists stumble into a show and instantly become fans, and Williamsburg gets one more reason to brag about its live‑music scene.

ABOUT THE VENUE:Williamsburg-Virginia-Hotels-Williamsburg-Inn

The Williamsburg Inn Terrace 

 

The Williamsburg Inn is where Colonial Williamsburg’s old‑world charm meets the kind of luxury that makes you briefly consider speaking in 18th‑century English. Guests get the full royal treatment—grand architecture, manicured grounds, and service so polished you’ll wonder if you accidentally became a duke. And one of the best parts? The live music. On sunny days, you can sip something dangerously good on the patio while musicians set the perfect vibe. When the weather decides to be dramatic (because Virginia loves a mood swing), the music simply moves indoors, keeping the atmosphere just as warm and elegant. Whether you’re here for the history, the cocktails, or the brag‑worthy photos, the Williamsburg Inn delivers every time.
