It's Bluegrass & Brews Saturday at AlterNatives at 3320 W Cary St. This is a benefit to raise awareness and funds, which will be used to build safe, fuel-efficient stoves for the people living in the Guatemalan Highlands. Safe, fuel-efficient stoves there help save lives, prevent illnesses, reduce deforestation/carbon emissions, and help lead to empowering women of that area. It'll run from 11 AM to 11 PM behind AlterNatives, Plan 9 and a few other stores in Carytown (check the schedule to see where). While it's free, you'll hopefully donate some money to the cause. Bands include Red Light Rodeo, Yankee Dixie, Sturgeon City, Cutch Tuttle & Hound Dog Hill, Clay Spokes, Relacksachian, The Heat Run, The Inflatables, and a number of other bands, including a special, secret performance from one of Richmond's finest bluegrass bands. Here's Red Light Rodeo with "Aces & Eights":

At Strange Matter Saturday, punk/emo/alternative/indie rock band Seahaven will headline. This is an early (doors open at 5) show for all ages. It's $12 bucks to get in. Adventures & Foxing open. Here's Seahaven's new video for "Silhouette (Latin Skin)". I dig this tune and it's cool, dreamy, summery feel like that feeling you get when you've been sitting on the beach all day and it's 6:30 and you've got a good beer buzz and the waves are becoming more hypnotic and the breeze is really starting to cool you off and you're trying to head back to the house for a shower and dinner but you feel too good to get up:
After their afternoon shows at Dominion Riverrock on Saturday, The Congress & People's Blues of Richmond will head to Broadberry for a gig.

Springsteen has been doing some crazy covers lately. Now he's doing Van Halen tunes but with Tom Morello tapping the frets, it's not so crazy. Might as well jump.
Have a great weekend! See you at Riverrock!
