If you want a show to take the kids too, go to Ashland Coffee & Tea Saturday morning at 11 AM to see folk singer Ellis Paul do a special kids show. Tix are $5 for kids, $7 for adults. Here is what the Ashland Coffee & Tea site said about the show: "Ashland Coffee & Tea is proud to present an afternoon Children’s Show with acclaimed Folk singer, Ellis Paul. The Dragonfly Races is Ellis’ 14th album marks his debut into the family/children’s genre. Written in true to form Ellis Paul style of compelling and witty story telling; each song will bring both parents and children into a picture that Ellis paints with each lyric. To make the CD even more special, Ellis has married his drawing and painting skills with his music; all the artwork is done by Ellis. The songs and artwork are clearly meant to be enjoyed by children as well as adults and promises to be a significant addition to the genre of family music. The album is produced by Flynn (producer of American Jukebox Fables) and is joined vocally by other folk favorites, Antje Duvekot, Vance Gilbert and rhythmically by Billy Jonas. Ellis Paul is a critically acclaimed singer, songwriter, poet and troubadour. He is the recipient of thirteen Boston Music Awards, second only to multi-platinum artists Aerosmith. Since launching from Boston, Ellis has built a vast catalog of music which weds striking poetic imagery and philosophical introspection with hook-laden melodies. He averages 150 shows a year and travels across America and Europe." Here's Ellis performing the title track from the "Dragonfly Races" album:
Out at Innsbrook on Saturday you'll find the Flavor Beer, Wine & Food Fest. It'll run from noon to 6 and there will be, um, mostly beer, wine and food. It's $10 for a walk around ticket, $25 for a sampling package (30 beer sampling tickets), and $35 for a VIP ticket which gets you extra stuff.
On Saturday down at Brown's Island, the Mothership will land at the 8th Annual Stone Soul Picnic. The Mothership, of course, referring to George Clinton & P-Funk. There will be a bunch of other R&B acts too including Boyz II Men, Ruben Studdard and others. It'll run from noon to 8:30 and it's $30 to get in. Here's some classic P-funk performing "Flash Light" in Houston in '78:
Saturday night, The Original Wailers will spark up at The National. Doors open at 7, show starts at 8 with opener Antero. Tix are $12.50 in advance, $15 at the door. Here's Bob Marley and the Wailers live in Santa Barbara in '79, full show!
On Sunday on the 100 - 300 blocks of W Broad St, the Broad Appetit festival takes place with a whole bunch of great food. It'll run from 11 AM to 6 PM. 60 of Richmond's best chefs create $3 mini-dishes for you to savor. There will be some bands playing but really you go for the food.
On Sunday night at the Carpenter Theatre, SPARC will present Live Art which will feature some of Virginia's finest musicians including Robbin Thompson, Steve Bassett, Susan Greenbaum and others performing with student performers.

Before you go to the show that night, be sure to check out Texicali, a four track digital collection from ZZ Top that offers the first new studio recordings from “That Little Ol’ Band From Texas” in nine years. The four new songs, available from iTunes and all digital retail outlets, offer a preview of the group’s full-length album, as yet untitled, that will be released on American Recordings late this summer or early fall. Those purchasing the four songs will benefit from a pro-rated discount on the purchase of the full album when it is released. Rollingstone.com will be previewing new music through an audio stream for one day only, Monday, June 4. I bet you'll hear some of those songs on Tuesday night. Here's some classic ZZ Top from 1980, "Jesus Just Left Chicago", before they wore the sunglasses all the time.:
Have a great weekend!

RIP Doc Waston & Ween, Late Night Pick: Kendrick Lamar, Tennis, Kimbra, Gary Clark Jr.
Americana guitar master Doc Watson passed away yesterday at the age of 89. HERE is the full obit.
Also, the weird and eclectic (in a delightful way) rock band, Ween, are apparently done. Click HERE for the story. Here's one of my favorite Ween songs, "Mutilated Lips" from their psychedelic album, "The Mollusk". I always liked this version from the short-lived MTV show "Oddsville" because of the random assortment of dancers:
Tonight's Late Night Pick is another repeat of an all-music episode of Last Call with Carson Daly featuring rapper Kendrick Lamar, pop rockers Tennis, singer/songwriter Kimbra and blues guitarist Gary Clark Jr. Last Call is on NBC at 1:35 AM.

Late Night Pick: Schoolboy Q, Cults, Ed Sheerhan
It looks like all the late night shows are in repeats this week. I guess they all take a week off for the Memorial Day holiday. But there is a full show of music on the Last Call with Carson Daly repeat featuring rapper Schoolboy Q, alt-pop duo Cults, Americana artists Wheeler Brothers, and pop/folk/hip-hop artist Ed Sheeran. Last Call is on NBC at 1:35 AM.
Friday, May 25, 2012
Late Night Pick of the Night: Lambchop
Tonight, catch alt-country group, Lambchop, on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon on NBC at 12:35 AM. Bill Hader and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar will also be on the show. Lambchop dedicated their latest album, "Mr M.", to the late great singer-songwriter Vic Chesnutt (shouldn't it have been called "Mr. C"?) and the album is getting great reviews.
RVA Music Night at Cheers, Shockoe Bottom Jazz Fest, Rocketts Red Glare
Memorial Day weekend and if you aren't out eating hot dogs and hamburgers, there is some music to see.
Friday Cheers on Brown's Island does their now annual Memorial Day weekend RVA Music Night. It'll start at 6, run until 9:30 and it's only $5 to get in. The bands are Three Sheets to the Wind, The Trillion and Photosynthesizers. Here's the dirt on each band, courtesy of Venture Richmond:
"Three Sheets to the Wind, America's No. 1 Tribute to Yacht Rock, covers smooth radio hits from 1976 to 1984. Underestimate their yachting-themed stage attire at your own risk. One thing is for certain — their tongue-firmly-planted-in-cheek devotion to the AM gold era is no joke. The music is given a faithful and thorough interpretation, and Richmond audiences have been packing venues all over the city to hear the band's send-ups of so-terrible-they're-incredibly-cool artists like Toto, Hall & Oates, Michael McDonald, and Steely Dan. Are they serious? Are they kidding? Who cares? We're all singing along. (They also won "Best Richmond Cover Band" in the 2012 Style Weekly Best of Richmond poll.)
Later on Friday night, Grateful Dead cover band King Solomon's Marbles will be at Cary St. Cafe. Show starts at 10 and it's $7 to get in.
On Sunday, down at the 17th Street Farmer's Market, the first Shockoe Bottom Jazz Fest goes down. It'll run from 11 AM to 6:30 PM and feature DJ Williams Projekt, The Big Payback, Scott Frock and the Killin, Stony Brook Moonshine and others. It'll be FREE too. Here's DJ Williams Projekt at Cafe Diem on 12/27/11:
Somewhat music related and pretty cool is the Rocketts Red Glare festival at Rockett's Landing on Sunday night. Colin Healy will play at 5:30 and then Kings of Swing at 6:30. The Nina & Pinta, replicas of Columbus' ships will be on view and open for touring. Wine, craft beer and desserts will be on sale. Fireworks at 9.
Next Wednesday night, we share the love, blogger to blogger, as the RVA Playlist blog celebrates their second anniversary with a FREE show at The Camel. Doors open at 8, the show starts at 9 PM sharp. Against Grace, Dead Fame and Marionette will be performing for the birthday bash. Here's Against Grace on Earth Day here in Richmond:
Also on Wednesday, groovealicious jam band Southern Belles will be at Cary St. Cafe. They'll start at 10 PM and it's FREE. Here's Southern Belles with a "Long Distance" jam:
Have a great Memorial Day weekend! Take a second to remember those that gave their lives so we can have free speech, listen to rock n' roll, watch fireworks and be with our families.

The Trillions are an RVA-based power pop band who formed a
couple years ago and have been making a big impression on the Richmond music
scene during their time together. Featuring former members of previous RVA
power-poppers Prabir And The Substitutes and The Awesome Few, these guys have
plenty of experience at constructing well-crafted pop songs
Exploding on to the music scene in 2008, Photosynthesizers
have continued to infiltrate the ear drums of many while opening for the likes
of Snoop Dogg, Augustana, Flobots, Bone Thugs N Harmony, Trina, Digable
Planets, Van Hunt, Nappy Roots and many others. As winners of the Style
Weekly's "2012 and 2011 RVA Best Hip Hop Group/Artist Award," these
rockin' beat-boxers hold their own amidst ever-evolving genres of Indie Rock,
Alternative Hip Hop, Electro-Pop. Afro-Punk and Soul. Their high energy shows
composed of hard hitting punk-pop beats and thought-provoking content highlight
their unique style as artists and performers."
Of the three bands, The Trillions have the most recent video so here's their song "You Gotta Be Kidding Me":

Yonder Mountain String Band, St. Vincent, Late Night Pick: Stone Gossard and Shawn Smith
Tonight, newgrass group Yonder Mountain String Band will wander to Lewis Ginter Botanical Garden for a show. This is part of the Groovin' in the Garden series. Gate opens at 5:30, show starts at 6. Children under 10 are free. Adults have to pay some price, probably around $20 but oddly since they removed the show from the "purchase tickets" area on the Groovin' web site, I can't tell you how much. Zach Deputy is opening the show and he's pretty good so get there early and check him out. Here's YMSB with Warren Haynes at Mountain Jam 2010:
Also, tonight at The National, St. Vincent and Shearwater will play. St. Vincent is neither a saint (though she may be very nice) nor named Vincent but is the pseudonym for Annie Clark (formerly of Polyphonic Spree) and her usually elegant, but sometimes flat-our rockin', pop music. Doors open at 7, show starts at 8 with Shearwater. Tix are $18 at the door. Here's a little mini-documentary on St. Vincent from Pitchfork along with some live footage.
Tonight's Late Night Pick is Pearl Jam's Stone Gossard playing with Shawn Smith tonight on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon at 12:35 AM on NBC.

RIP Donna Summer; Late Night Pick: Paul Weller
Disco diva Donna Summer passed away today from cancer at the age of 63. Even during the days when I turned my back on disco, in the era when you had to choose between "Disco Sucks" and dance music, I always liked Donna Summer. Once I was once again accepting of disco and delved into the era again, her music always stood above much of the genre and I proudly own a copy of "On The Radio: Greatest Hits Volumes 1 & 2" on CD. I'll bust that out tonight and give Donna a dance but it won't be the last one. HERE is the obit from Rolling Stone.
Paul Weller of The Jam and The Style Council will be on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon tonight at 12:35 AM on NBC.

There will be people mud runnin', dogs catchin' air and jumpin' in the water (my kids love this), freestyle BMXing, kayaking and rock climbing and, of course, great music. There are two stages this year and music will be going on the whole day, each day, Friday starting at 6:30, Saturday and Sunday starting at 1 PM. For the full schedule, click HERE. Headliner on Friday is great bluegrass with Keller Williams with the Travelin' McCourys coming on at 9 PM and going until 10:30.

If you are at home at all this weekend, you can check out the live stream of the Hangout Music Fest from Gulf Shores, AL HERE on MySpace. Yes, that MySpace. They are still around and trying to make a comeback, I guess. I'm not sure if this is video or just audio. But you can't argue with the bands on the webstream including Jack White, String Cheese Incident, Umphrey's McGee (coming to Groovin' in the Garden this summer), Dispatch, Gogol Bordello, Michael Franti & Spearhead (coming to The National this summer), G. Love & Special Sauce, Dr. Dog, Dawes (coming to Friday Cheers this year), Alabama Shakes (also coming to Friday Cheers this year), Gary Clark Jr. and others. They had a schedule up earlier but it's not up now. Music starts at the festival at 12:30 PM ET on Friday, and 12:15 ET on Saturday and Sunday so check it out then.
Saturday, blues guitarist Jonnny Lang will be at The National. Tix are $35 reserved orchestra / $30 reserved balcony / $25 reserved balcony / $25 GA standing. Doors open at 7, show starts at 8 with opener Michael Williams Band. Jonny has been in the studio working on a new CD so maybe you'll hear some new tunes on Saturday night.

Late Night Pick: Gregg Allman, RIP Donald "Duck" Dunn
Tonight on Conan, Rock & Roll Hall of Famer Gregg Allman will be on to shill his biography, "My Cross to Bear" filled with stories of the blues, drug use and sex with groupies and Cher. Good stuff. Not sure if he'll perform or just tell us cool stories about 70's rock hedonism. Either way, we win. Conan is on TBS at 11 PM and 1 AM.
You may know him as the bass player for the Blues Brothers. You may know him from Booker T & The MGs or as one of the creators of the Stax/Volt sound in the 60s and 70s. You may have seen him play with Eric Clapton, Neil Young or Bob Dylan. Any way you know him, he was one of the greatest, yet most understated, bass players ever. Donald "Duck" Dunn passed away Sunday morning at 70. HERE is the obit. And here is with Booker T and the MGs doing the classic "Green Onions":

Carolina Chocolate Drops, Diamond Center, Black Girls, Southern Belles, Jonathan Vassar & Speckled Bird
Looks like all the musical action is tonight this week. I guess no one wants to go out on Saturday night and get too plastered and be all hungover for Mom on Sunday.
Friday Cheers tonight has Carolina Chocolate Drops. Tix are $5 and kids under 12 are free. Show starts at 6:30 with opener The Inflatables. Show ends around 9:30 so you can still get some sleep. Here's some info on the Drops that I cribbed from the Cheers email: "Their concerts, The New York Times declared, were "an end-to-end display of excellence... They dip into styles of Southern black music from the 1920s and '30s-string-band music, jug-band music, fife and drum, early jazz--and beam their curiosity outward. They make short work of their instructive mission and spend their energy on things that require it: flatfoot dancing, jug playing, shouting." Some "WOW" facts about the group:
At Gallery 5 tonight, a showcase of local bands featuring Diamond Center (acoustic-ish), Jonathan Vassar & The Speckled Bird, David Shultz (solo), and Hope for Agoldensummer (from Athens GA). Doors are at 7:30, show starts at 8 and it's $7 to get in. If you need more info on the show, go to the Facebook event page HERE. Here's Diamond Center playing electrically and psychedelically at Lamplighter Lounge in Memphis:
Southern Belles will bring their cover, jam band groovified honky-tonk selves to Cary St. Cafe tonight. Show starts at 10 and cover is $5. Here's the Belles doing "Fried Fish" at Cary St. Cafe in January:
Black Girls will be at Balliceaux with Harrison Colby and The Zenith Mountain Band opening. Show will start at 10:30 and it's $5 to get in. This will be Black Girls last show in Richmond until June.
For all you winos, oh sorry, oenophile, the Central VA Wine Fest takes place on Saturday from noon to 6 out at Innsbrook. It should be a beautiful day to get drunk, oh sorry, let your palate sample the fine wines of Virginia. Go and get a good bottle of wine for your mama. Some good wine, not that box of Franzia you got her last year. Tix are $20 online and $25 at the gate.
If you want something a little more kid oriented, Henrico County has KidFest going on at Deep Run Park on Saturday from 1 - 4 and that's free. There will be games, arts & crafts, and music from local teen bands (OK, that may not sell you on going).
That's it. Have a great weekend and to all you moms out there, Happy Mother's Day!

Willie Nelson show postponed, Late Night Pick: Mick Taylor
Tonight's Willie Nelson show at Innsbrook has been postponed until May 20th. Here is the word on the Innsbrook site: "Due to circumstances beyond our control, the Wednesday May 9 Willie Nelson concert has been postponed. The new concert date is Sunday May 20th, gates at 6pm. All tickets purchased for May 9th will be honored for the new date. Refunds for ticket value can be obtained at the point of your ticket purchase." Probably better off because it's pouring rain right now and that may continue into the evening.
Tonight's Late Night Pick is once and possibly future (he may join the Stones for their 50th Anniversary tour) guitarist for the Rolling Stones, Mick Taylor. He is doing some gigs at a jazz club in NYC and will be stopping by Late Night with Jimmy Fallon tonight on NBC at 12:35 AM.

Late Night Pick of the Night: Of Monsters and Men
Spent some time on the road for work the last few days so no blog. Spent some time while driving on the road yesterday listening to the Black Joe Lewis and the Honeybears' CD "Scandalous". It pretty much rocks in an old school R&B with bluesy grunge on top and killer horn section riffs kind of way, just like the show at Friday Cheers last week. I recommend it.
Tonight, check out Icelandic folkie pop band Of Monsters & Men on Late Night on Jimmy Fallon tonight on NBC at 12:35 AM.

Lots going on this weekend so let's jump right in with the beginning of the Friday Cheers season and it starts in a groovalicious way with Black Joe Lewis and the Honeybears. These guys hail from Austin TX and bring the old school with a new twist blues, soul and R&B. Think Howlin' Wolf, Wilson Pickett, James Brown and you're in the right ballpark. Their last album, "Scandalous" got rave reviews. Friday Cheers is, of course, on Brown's Island. It's $5 to get in, kids under 12 are free and it's a family friendly scene (I'll be bringing my 4 and 7 year old boys who love Friday Cheers, more for throwing rocks in the canal and watching the geese but they dig the music when I can get them to sit still for a few minutes), gates open at 6, show starts at 6:30 with openers, The Preservation. Here's BJL & The HBs doing "Mustang Ranch". Listen to this song and tell me this ain't gonna be a fun show, cause if you do, you'll be lyin'. Hope you get your ham glazed tomorrow.
After Cheers, you can head on over to The Camel and keep your groove goin' with Black Girls and The New Belgians. Doors open at 9 and show starts shortly thereafter. It's $6 to get in.
The RVA Beer Fest will go down indoors and outdoors at Gallery 5 Friday evening and all day Saturday with really good beers and really good bands. It's free on Friday night and $5 to get in on Saturday then you pay for tastings or full beers. Bands on Saturday include Black Girls, New Belgians, People's Blues of Richmond and more.
If you are at home at all this weekend, check out the New Orleans Jazz Fest on YouTube HERE.

Monday night at Strange Matter, there will be an all-ages early psychedelic show to start your week in a trippy way. Spindrift (from LA), Strangers Family Band (from Orlando) and Peace Beast (offshoots of Richmond band Diamond Center) will play with doors opening at 5, show starting at 6 and it'll wrap up by 9 so you get home and come down before work the next day.

General Admission tix are $20 in advance, $25 at the door, and Gold Circle tix can be had in advance for $45. Gates will open at 6 and the opener is Drake White.

In honor of his birthday, Pacific Biodiesel named a brand of biodiesel fuel after Willie, called "BioWillie Biodiesel". And you know you've made the big time when they name fuel after you. Here's Willie with Leon Russell doing "One For My Baby and One for the Road":
On the flip side of the music coin on Wednesday night, Megadeth with the insufferable Dave Mustaine will be at the National. Tix are $35 in advance, $40 at the door. Doors open at 7, show starts at 8 with opener Scavenger's Daughter.
