The big news here at home this weekend is the Richmond Folk Festival, three days of world music right here in your backyard. It's FREE all weekend (but please donate to the Bucket Brigade) and it's one of the biggest folk festivals in the country. And this isn't just Joan Baez, Bob Dylan, Pete Seeger folk, though there will be a little of that. This festival is focused on the folk music and traditions of America and the world, the music and dance that bubbles up from the streets and the country. There will be everything from bluegrass to break dancing, Mayan sun dancing (at the top of an 80 foot pole!) to Tibetan opera, Indian slide guitar to Mexican mariachi, blues, gospel, and more. You can walk around a world of music in the area of Brown's Island and Tredegar Iron Works. Don't miss it!
Just in time to celebrate the coming of gay marriage to Virginia (yay!), those gay disco icons of the 70's, The Village People will be at The Beacon Theatre in Hopewell on Friday night. Doors open at 6, there will be an opener, tix range from $25 to $75. Here they are doing "Can't Stop the Music":

There's rival horny funk shows going on Friday. Mekong Express & The Get Fresh Horns will be at Tobacco Company starting at 9:30 and that's free to get in. They've been recording some music in the studio recently so we will hopefully be able to get some of that funk in the near future.
At Balliceaux Friday, No BS! Brass Band does a gig that starts at 10:30 and that's $10 to get in. Here they are at the 2nd St. Festival last weekend doing some Led Zeppelin. Give Bill a second when the video starts until he can get things straightened out.
