I was gonna kill my husband in a cab in Peru, but “Islands in the Stream” came on the radio, and we stopped arguing and started singing. She could do that to you. You could totally be feeling some type of way, but if you put some Dolly Parton on, well, then you got a...
You can always kiss off into the air. Behind my back, I can see them stare. They hurt me bad, and I don’t mind. They hurt me bad, they do it all the time! Yeah, yeah. You just sang that in your head, didn’t you? I believe it is impossible not to. There’s an alchemy, a secret chord maybe, that makes a song an anthem. A magic that turns a single...
A sold-out night at The Camel is one thing. Doing it back-to-back is another. Holy Roller (read our last interview HERE) has been quietly building toward this for a while now. A Richmond band rooted in good time rock with a bit of country twang, pulling from all over and blending harmony-driven songwriting with something a little looser and less...
Sierra Ferrell took over Brown’s Island earlier this week, transforming Richmond’s riverfront into fantasy. Surrounded by oversized mushrooms, flowers, and a stage dressed like an Appalachian fever dream, Ferrell delivered a set that moved easily from honky-tonk stomp to hushed ballad. H The show drew one of the largest audiences of the Brown’s...

Counting Crows brought their signature blend of alt-rock nostalgia and emotional resonance to Richmond’s new Allianz Amphitheater this past weekend, playing to a packed crowd under clear summer skies. The night kicked off with The Gaslight Anthem, opened the evening with a 45-minute set that included fan favorites like “The ’59 Sound” and...
When Jeff Gorman of Illiterate Light steps on stage, it’s not hype you feel, it’s heat. Not the kind that grabs at you immediately, but the kind that builds steady, loud, and unflinching. Just two guys onstage with a sound that hits like a full band. Offstage is where the real story takes shape. In the van, at the merch table, over weak coffee...
Local Brandon Crowe has quietly built something special in Richmond’s underground scene, a Fourth of July tradition called Crowefest. No corporate sponsors, maybe a few local ones. No massive gates or fences, just the usual short backyard one. What you get is a stage, a lawn, and a handpicked lineup of local heavy-hitters and rising stars....
When Dispatch takes the stage in Richmond on Tuesday, June 10, it won’t just be another stop on tour—it’ll mark one of the very first concerts at the new Allianz Amphitheater at Riverfront.
