Henrico Honky Tonk

If you don't have plans for tomorrow night, now you do.  If you do have plans, drop 'em and make your way to the newly restored Henrico Theater on Nine Mile Road in the East End for a very special evening with Brad Spivey and his Honky Tonk Experience.  This marks a bit of a departure for this highly-revered real country band as they'll be performing in a plush and pretty concert setting rather than on a bar's bandstand with chicken wire protecting them from flying beer bottles.  A well-deserved up-town gig.  And expect to see some notable and devoted followers in the audience craving a night of solid American tunes in an inviting new venue.  Best of all...it's free!  But reservations are recommended at 501-5138.  Get on out and show 'em the love.

Don't forget tonight at Ashland Coffee & Tea...they're continuing their focus on the best of our Richmond area talent pool and it's a deep one...the dean of folk singers around here for decades George Turman will hold court with the singular assistance of double-threat Billy Lux on double bass and rock-bottom vocals. 

Thanks to all who made our Tony Furtado show a week ago at In Your Ear the 5th sell-out in a row...listen for an abridged playback down the road on Page Wilson's Out O' The Blue Radio Revue.  Tony was terrific.

Our next JAMinc event is an evening with the incomparable family band, The Isaacs on May 8th at the West End Assembly of God.  Tickets on sale soon on our Website.  It will surely lift your heart...the snow lifted mine although I missed most of it.  Andy Thompson, outdoor writer for the T-D did a superb job of capturing just how I feel about the all-too-rare-anymore blanket of white.  Here's a link to the column...thanks Andy.  Peepers and jonquils herald the new season and we're in just the right place.  TT
