Dominion Riverrock announced the bands performing at this year's event today. On Friday, 5/17, DJ Mordecai kicks things off at 6 PM and then you get your headliners Soulive (7:30) and Lettuce (9:30), two funky bands which should get everyone moving.
Saturday, bands start at 1:00 with The Trongone Band, 2:30 with The New Belgians, The Shack Band at 4:00, The Southern Belles at 5:30. The headliners begin at 7:00 with great New Orleans blues-rocker Anders Osborne and then reggae great Toots and the Maytals at 9:00. Mark your calendars and don't miss two nights of great, free music.
Check out Americana singer/songwriter Tift Merritt on Last Call with Carson Daly tonight at 1:35 AM on NBC. Tift recently joined singer Andrew Bird to do a couple songs for a Billboard Magazine Tastemakers @ Sunrise session. You can check out the whole thing HERE. Here's one song from the session, "Give It Away" (not the Red Hot Chili Peppers song of the same name!).
Supporting music in Richmond since 2000 - "Well, there's a bloated inefficient bureaucratic mass / Run by a mediocre soldier quasi-general ass / A diabolical office of death and waste / Run by a weekend anchor with a desperate rage / It's a big black hole, a trillion dollars deep / Funneling money to the Pentagon welfare queens" - Jesse Welles, “The Department of War”
