Live Music - Virginia Man
Coming off of the release of his sophomore LP—MURDER FOLK—the Man is working
on new music for 2026. Where intentional song writing meets power and pocket, this
project is an experience of both nostalgia and creation that will never leave you.
Founder, singer, and songwriter, Kristian Lietzan has lived through many faces of
Virginia Man, currently embarking on a new journey for the project —this time rolling
solo. Raised in the counties between the big cities in the great state of Virginia, he
champions the sound of his homeland: a strange suspension between the cardinal
directions, generational culture, and the changing of seasons.
