Biography

Geographically speaking, Virginia Coalition are from Alexandria. Musically speaking, Virginia Coalition are from a million different places. New Orleans. Liverpool. Memphis. Detroit. Appalachia. Athens, Georgia. Wherever Paul Simon was on the map, depending on the album. The Caribbean before it got ruined by Jimmy Buffett. Overnight radio out of DC during the Marion Barry years. Alan Thicke’s cerebral cortex when he was writing theme music for sitcoms. R and B when Jheri Curl was a thing. Soundtracks to John Hughes movies. Workout montage songs from the 80s that always seemed to have the word “winner” in them. Piano-heavy coffee advertisements. Local car dealership jingles. Junkyard and James Taylor. REM and EU. The Beatles and Bela Fleck. It’s all in there somewhere and somehow. The band is a collection of suburban latchkey kids with tons of musical equipment who all came together in basements and living rooms and clandestine keg parties all over Alexandria.
