It is with all of this preamble that I set out to see what is new at Harry’s and let you know what’s worth keeping. We (once again, me and my forever date Melissa Detres) were informed that we would be trying four different meal courses and five cocktails.

Ten years ago, Richmond drummer, bandleader, and all-around musical utility player Kelli Strawbridge released Kings, a collaborative soul and funk record built alongside producer and keyboardist DJ Harrison of Butcher Brown.

We looked into getting World Cup tickets. Apparently, FIFA believes everyone has a trust fund. For those of us who do not, Richmond has the next best thing.

Every good music scene has a few rooms that become bigger than themselves. They rarely make headlines while they’re open, but their importance becomes obvious when they disappear.
For Harrisonburg, The Golden Pony was one of those places.

...most of the major players appear to agree that recreational marijuana sales are eventually coming. The next phase of this now years long debate has shifted to the details of who gets to sell it.

At some point Thursday afternoon, if the wind cooperates, a black-hulled schooner with towering cream-colored sails will round the bend of the James River and glide toward Richmond, looking as though it has slipped out of another century.

Having left Richmond behind us some weeks ago now, we still had weeks to go before I would be back in my own bed. The van was our home now, not the old capital of the Confederacy, and all we had was each other.

Starting the summer with some big shows. Kanawha Plaza is looking like the spot to be this season, but there is still plenty happening in the clubs around town this week.

Tucked into the alley behind 2512 West Main Street, a fever dream of the cosmos has taken shape across a brick wall. The mural is the collaborative work of four Latino artists working in and around Richmond: Visibly Hidden, Monolith, Mars, and Zel.

This has been an inspirational season for Richmond’s homegrown theatre. We are following up the sold-out run of Witchduck with the mid-project musical exhibition of Truth, a musical enshrining the story of the inimitable Sojourner Truth. https://t.co/qhEHaBFCfr

When Khushnood Nabizada looks back on August 2021, he does not only remember that time as the month when he lost the life that he knew.

Richmond got a triple shot of modern alternative rock over the weekend as Young the Giant rolled into Allianz Amphitheater at Riverfront with Cold War Kids and Almost Monday in tow.

Nothing but crowd pleasers here. Got some big names in the scene and city all over the city this weekend, surely you’ll be at one?
