The German Club invites you to attend its Midwinters Concert, held as part of their annual Midwinters Philanthropy Week. The evening will feature a live performance by The Jack Wharff Band, a Richmond-based band recognized for their engaging sound and strong live presence along with local opener 81 Traffic. Come out for great music and an even better cause! This event provides an opportunity to enjoy live music while supporting German Club’s Midwinters philanthropic efforts. Hailing from Richmond, Virginia, The Jack Wharff Band play a strikingly unique blend of bluegrass, country and rock. Known for their electric live performances, masterful instrumentation, and their ability to make music that consistently defies the confines of genre, the young band burst onto the scene last year with snippets of jaw-dropping original songs posted to TikTok and Reels. Led by vocalist and frontman Jack Wharff, the salt of the earth four-piece have quickly captivated audiences with their infectious energy and unrelenting passion for the craft. The band has taken everything that has come their way in stride – viral videos of their original songs, a record deal with Big Machine Records, a move to Music City and more – earning a loyal following along the way. With an unparalleled ability to command an audience with vibrant stage presence far beyond their years and toe-tapping anthems that beg to be sung along to, it’s clear that this is just the beginning for The Jack Wharff Band.
