Bradley Rhodes has always been an explorer. From his years fronting the critically-acclaimed band Melodime to his ongoing work with the duo Elevado, he's spent most of his adulthood on the move. Letters From Virginia, a collection of sharply-written folk music that doubles as Rhodes' first solo album, finds him taking a moment to reflect on the long road that's taken him from past to present.  

The self-produced Letters From Virginia was recorded at various home studios across Virginia, with old bandmates and new collaborators all pitching in. Together, they filled the album with acoustic guitar, piano, mandolin, and light percussion, creating a rootsy backdrop for autobiographical songs that tackle everything from love to spirituality to the healing power of music itself. The result is a musical homecoming: an album that brings Bradley Rhodes full circle, nodding to his musical roots while simultaneously beginning a fresh chapter.
