Williamsburg, VA – On the heels of their newest studio album, “Running in Place”, Jimkata will be bringing their dynamic electro-rock sound to The Virginia Beer Company [VBC] for a one-night only FREE SHOW on Friday, August 22nd.
This will be the first time that a nationally touring band will be playing at VBC, which is regularly recognized by local outlets such as Coastal Virginia Magazine for its commitment to showcasing the area’s robust live music scene. On Friday August 22, 2025, Jimkata will make their only tour stop in the Commonwealth of Virginia.
Described as “a hard hitting dance party with soaring guitar riffs and soul tickling lyrics,” on 8/22 Jimkata will take music lovers on an emotional joyride. The band has built a loyal audience with their relentlessly feel-good performances, which grew from local house parties to club, theater, and festival dates on the strength of a series of critically acclaimed albums. Attendees can expect what Spin Magazine describes as an “epic force of indie electro-rock.”
Kevin Koons – a member of the brewery’s Taproom Team and a long-time fan of Jimkata – is thrilled to see the band coming to Williamsburg. “I’m a huge fan of Jimkata and happened to notice they didn’t have a Virginia show on their current tour. I casually pitched the idea of a ‘garage days’ show following their North Carolina tour stop…and the idea took off, both from the band & brewery sides! This is an amazing opportunity to bring a nationally-recognized musical group to an intimate concert experience.”
The VBC taproom will open at 12:00 pm that Friday, with free music starting at 7:00 pm. Sound support will be provided by local DJ & live music promoter, Steve “Kudlz” Hathaway. With the later start, taproom hours will be extended to accommodate for a 10 pm concert end time.
VBC beers (including a limited edition can of Gorgeous Citra IPA with special Jimkata branding) and non-alcoholic beverages will be available for purchase, and a food truck will be on site all day. Guests are asked to refrain from bringing pets, minors under the age of 16, and outside alcohol or containers to this event. In addition to the brewery’s on-site parking lot, spillover parking options are listed on VBC’s website (and will be shared on the brewery’s social media platforms closer to the event).
