The Gladstones – 16 Dec 2017 @Batesville Market

The Gladstones

are a four-piece rock and roll outfit fronted by Charlottesville veterans Charlie Pastorfield (Skip Castro Band, Alligator) and Bob Girard (The Casuals featuring Johnny Sportcoat, Alligator) and supported by in the rhythm section by bass player Tim Ryan (Left Lane, Jeebus) and drummer Jim Ralston (Baaba Seth, Jeebus). The Gladstones play straight, old school rock ‘n’ roll of every variety — originals penned by Girard and Pastorfield in the styles of Johnny Cash to The Clash, the Rolling Stones to Grateful Dead. They have been playing in the mid-Atlantic under this name since 2006, although their collective roots go back decades.
