Jazz/funk/rock/bluegrass, oh, heck, he can play it all, bassist Victor Wooten is at The Broadberry on Thursday night. Most of you may know him as the bassist in Bela Fleck & the Flecktones. He's also a "5-time Grammy Winner, the only multiple winner of Bass Player Magazine’s reader’s poll (3 times), and was voted one of the top ten bassists of all time by Rolling Stone Magazine." He'll be appearing at The Broadberry with his trio including Dennis Chambers and Bob Franceschini. Doors open at 7, show starts at 8 and no opener is listed.
Clair Morgan continues their First Friday residency at The Camel and they continue to give proceeds from these shows to charities, this time to Planned Parenthood. Tix are $6 advance, $8 at the door. Doors open at 8, show starts at 9 with openers Doll Baby, Bad Magic & Blush Face. Clair Morgan recently announced that they'll be playing a concert with the Richmond Symphony on September 23 along with other RVA artists Matthew E. White, Natalie Prass, Bio Ritmo and Tim Barry. Should be quite the special show. However, they do a need a new video. I have to keep playing this one because it's the only one they've got.
