The Wailers get your musical week started Wednesday night at Kingdom. Tix are $25. Doors open at 7, show starts at 8 with openers Duane Stephenson, Rollers Rights and The Offset. Here's The Wailers a couple years ago in St. Petersburg, Russia of all places. This is "So Much Things to Say":
Also, Wednesday night, at The National, pop-punk-ska band 311 will perform. Tix are $40, doors open at 7, show starts at 8 with DJ Soulman, then 311 will play two full sets. Not sure if DJ Soulman will play prior to and/or between 311 sets so I wouldn't get there late, just in case. Here is a track from their 2009 album, "Uplifter" called "Hey You" (not the Pink Floyd song):
Thursday night, Cotton Jones & Diamond Center will be at The Camel. Diamond Center, the heavy psychedelic band from Richmond, will open when the show starts at 8:30 (doors open at 7:30). Cotton plays slightly psychedelic indie folk music. Well, just listen. Here's Cotton Jones doing "I Am the Changer" live on Michigan State University radio back in '09:
102.1 The X has their holiday show at The National on Thursday night with Switchfoot, Airborne Toxic Event, Drew Martin & The Limelights, & Against Grace. Door open at 6:30, show starts at 7, tix are $20 in advance, $23 day of show. Expect the music to sound like the stuff you typically hear on 102.1 The X. Here's Switchfoot's latest, "Dark Horses":
At the Canal Club on Thursday, it's soulful chill out electronica night with Bonobo. Reinhold and Mister Jennings of PLF will open. Show starts at 9, tix are $15 in advance and $20 at the door. Here's Bonobo with "The Keeper" featuring Andreya Triana:
Friday night, check out Allman Brothers tribute band Skydog at Cary St. Cafe. They'll start around 10:30 PM. I'm not sure about the cover charge but I'm sure it will be minimal. Here's Skydog live in the studio recorded in April doing "Ain't Wasting Time No More":
On Saturday night at The Camel, No BS! Brass Band will play with BadMan opening. Show gets under way at 9:30. Here's NO BS! playing what appears to be Halloween this year because I don't think they usually dress like that:
If you're in the mood for more brass and more bands be sure to catch the Christmas Parade starting at 10 PM on Saturday right down Broad St.
Have a great weekend!

Supporting music in Richmond since 2000 - "Hello, my love, I heard a kiss from you / Red magic satin playing near, too / All through the morning rain I gaze, the sun doesn't shine / Rainbows and waterfalls run through my mind / In the garden, I see, west purple shower bells and tea / Orange birds and river cousins dressed in green / Pretty music, I hear, so happy and loud / Blue flowers echo from a cherry cloud" - The Brothers Johnson, “Strawberry Letter 23”
