The Be-Sides jazz quartet credits their origination largely to Michael Hawkins and OMP (Orbital Music Park) for hosting the weekly jazz jam session on Sunday Nights from 7-9 at Révéler Experiences. Jack Byrnes, Rahib Amin, Stephan LaRue, and Dan Young (of the Be-Sides) came together to explore their musical interests on the band-stand as a compliment first as part of the jam session (the A-side). Early in 2023, the “group” (which at the time was but a serendipitous collection of passionate musicians) was asked to perform a set of their collaborative music from 9:30-11. In addition to booking all around Richmond, the Be-Sides maintains a weekly residency at Révéler where they continue to develop their sound, experiment with original music, and otherwise hone their craft.
Jack is a fierce bassist with a mind for the avant-garde. The bona-fide "Master" jazz musician of the group often propels its creative direction through his composition and improvisation.
Rahib is a fearless musical conversationalist and polyphonic lyricist. Known for his charming, often relentlessly positive demeanor, Rahib brings to the group a refreshing disregard for the trappings of bebop.
Stephan, a humble yet notorious drummer, corrugates, obfuscates, or propagates the time to his heart's desire. His touch is feared, yet loved; firm yet tender; precise, but with a whimsicality that is both insistent and pliable.
Dan, resident MC, saxophonist, and occasional whistler, mixes in a passion for resonance, harmonics, and color. His compositional musings are often exclusively entrusted to the members of the Be-Sides.
