River City Barn Dance Holiday Hoedown, feat. Andy Vaughan & the Driveline, Loversville, Cary Street Ramblers @ Hardywood – Free!
I’m late to the party on this one, folks–River City Barn Dance is a monthly event that Andy Vaughan has been putting on around Richmond for something like two years now (maybe longer? Two years ago was when I first heard about it). It brings together the finest country sounds coming out of RVA right now with some old-time square-dancing fun, and mixes the whole thing with the excellent craft beer always on tap at Hardywood.

Hypercolor (photo by Coldon Martin), James Wallace & The Naked Light, The Trillions @ The Camel – Price at door
This show has nothing to do with dayglo t-shirts from the early 90s that caused all of your sweat stains to glow brilliantly. No, this Hypercolor is a local Richmond band whose lush psychedelic sounds are like a warm hug from an old friend.

Lightfields Preview Upcoming Debut Album With Effervescent Single “Junior”
Lightfields has been hanging around the fringes of the Richmond scene for a few years now, constantly tweaking their sound while going through a number of lineup changes. However, things appear to have solidified for the local quintet, and the maturation that’s occurred is obvious on new single “Junior.”
