Last weekend in Richmond, Remi Wolf took Brown’s Island and didn’t give it back. Her sound doesn’t fit in a box — pop, funk, soul, indie — all smashed together and dragged through the dirt. Openly fluid, proudly weird, she’s built a world where you don’t ask permission to be yourself — you just are.
The music hit like a punch and a field full of people showed up loud and left louder. Wolf’s been carving out this space since You’re A Dog! and pushed it even further with Juno. She’s not aiming for perfect — she’s aiming for real. If you were there, you might have caught her right before the whole world catches on. Remember it: this is the good part.
Photographers Joey Wharton and Alex Burrus were there to document.
