Sunset Club Series
Each afternoon, Belle Grove is witness to some pretty amazing sunsets over the Rappahannock River. From the oranges, golds and reds to the blue and pink cotton candy skies, there is always a new wonder to behold each afternoon.
Now we would like to share them with you!

The Leroy Burks Band, based in Woodbridge Virginia, is a high energy, country and classic rock band. We showcase the best of Country, Classic Country, Classic Rock, Southern Rock and our own Nashville published songwriter, Leroy B. The driving force behind the rumbling sound is the one and only Delmar Little on the bass guitar, John Clyburn on the drums and Mike Lavrich tearing up that lead guitar. Our front-man, United States Army Veteran Leroy B, brings the powerhouse vocal. With experience ranging from local venues to large festivals, The Leroy Burks Band is ready to bring our fun filled country band to your event.
The Sugar Hollows is some-kind-of-rock band hailing from Richmond, VA. They were recently featured by Americana Highways and Music Mecca for their latest single ‘Sweet Virginia Girl’ and have a full-length album in the works, which will be released in 2023. Formed in 2021 by Michael Dunn (lead vocals, rhythm guitar) and Gabriel Spadaccini (lead guitar), the band started out as an acoustic duo covering songs by Allman Brothers, Creedence Clearwater Revival, Willie and Lukas Nelson, and other artists from past and modern times before starting to write their own songs. They have since refined their sound as a 4-piece rock outfit by adding Sean O’Reilly on bass and Noah Yates on drums. They have eclectic musical tastes ranging from folk and country music to psychedelic and classic rock, and they write songs about life, love, and all of the things that make you feel kinda funny. All of their music is recorded and released by Good Weather Records in Richmond, VA.
