The University of the Virgin Islands’ Reichhold Center for the Arts (RCA) will launch season two of RCA Sessions with the heart-lifting sounds of Lourdes & the Switch, a soulful modern Rock band based in St. Thomas. Beginning at 7 p.m. on Thursday, Oct. 28, viewers are invited to unwind and enjoy a live, virtual performance via the Reichhold Center Webpage as well as the Facebook Page.
“We are so excited to launch another season of RCA Sessions. It has been a pleasure to bring live entertainment, to music lovers everywhere,” said Denise Humphrey, director of Reichhold Center for the Arts. “Bringing live performances to the people of the Virgin Islands is the vision behind the heart and soul of the Reichhold Center.” RCA Sessions was first launched in March of this year to showcase local artists across the territory. The first session showcased the talents of Dublab Reggae Band as well as local artists Louis Taylor and Friends and the “SHUT” Down Band.

Group members include Lourdes, a singer from the Philippines; Nathan a bassist from Ireland; John, a guitarist from Myrtle Beach; and Andy, a drummer from Atlanta. Lourdes & the Switch have played with many stellar local musicians throughout the years, fine-tuning their musical voice.
