Reveler

Justin Golden brings the blues to the Reveler (3108 W. Cary St.) Wednesday May 20 at 6:00 pm. Quirky folk popster (and native Virginian) Shanna in a Dress opens the show.Justin GoldenJustin Golden's origins are deeply vested in the blues, with roots in the Mississippi Delta, Chicago and the Piedmont of Virginia. Golden has carefully studied country blues, with influences ranging from Blind Boy Fuller to Taj Mahal to indie guitar. And as a traditional roots music stalwart, he’s passing the inspiration to youth by teaching them to play as well. His training as an archaeologist has taught him to view music through a historical lens. Studying historic cemetery sites throughout Virginia, he noted that old burial grounds could be lost within a generation, which made him realize that the historic memory of music should also be preserved. Since 2016, Justin has been an instructor of Piedmont Blues Guitar at Augusta Heritage Center's Blues and Swing Week at Davis and Elkins College in West Virginia. While he is keenly versed in traditional styles, he has an extremely diverse musical palette and brings new ideas to traditional blues forms.
Justin performs with his Virginia supergroup DEVIL'S COATTAILS, featuring Trey Burnart Hall (mandolin, tenor banjo, electric guitar), Chris Gatens (upright bass, clawhammer banjo) and Drew Barnocky (drums and washboard). Golden has created a sound where country, blues and bluegrass converge. Together the group has just released Golden Country: Volume 1 to rave reviews.
In early 2025, Justin received a Stage 4 cancer diagnosis, which significantly limited his ability to tour full-time or maintain a consistent out-of-town performance schedule. Rather than stepping away from music, Justin redirected his energy into building this concert series — creating space for collaboration, bringing musical peers to RVA, and continuing to serve the community through live performance.For more information about Justin see www.justingolden music.com
Shanna in a DressShanna in a Dress is your quirky best friend who refuses to wear pants. She says what everyone has felt but no one else will say&nbsp;and you'll get an uncensored journey of clever humor and heartbreak, extreme candor, and a hefty side of entertainment at her shows. This witty wordsmith is known for taking you on an emotional roller coaster, sometimes within the same song. Think John Prine mixed with Ingrid&nbsp;Michaelson&nbsp;with a twist of Phoebe&nbsp;Buffay&nbsp;from Friends all wrapped up in a sweet voice accented by guitar, piano, and ukulele.
Originally launching her career at the University of Virginia and later finding inspiration in Boulder, Colorado, Shanna now calls St.Louis home when she’s not touring across the U.S. and Europe. Known for her spontaneous banter and playful stage presence, no two shows are ever the same. Her accolades include wins at the Kerrville New Folk Competition, Rocky Mountain Folks Fest Songwriting Contest, and Great River Folk Fest Song Competition, along with recognition at Falcon Ridge and Songwriter Serenade&nbsp;More info on Shanna and her music at www.shannainadress.com.

Tapawingo Road Southwest & Frederick Street Southwest

<blockquote>In May, Vienna250 continues to march towards the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence. Mark your calendars for Broadwater Day&nbsp;on May 17 at 2:00&nbsp;beneath the water tower at Tapawingo Rd and Frederick St SW as we learn about some of Vienna's residents of the time.&nbsp; Rose Powhatan, a descendant of local indigenous tribes, will be one of the featured speakers, and we'll also hear voices from the past including one that represents an enslaved woman and another of a local farmer.&nbsp; The Sons of the Revolution will have a musket volley and the Daughters of the American Revolution will bring formal greetings.&nbsp; At the conclusion of the event, we'll walk across the street to the Broadwater graves for a wreath laying.&nbsp;&nbsp;On May 31, the Vienna250/Bards Alley Author Series continues with Derek Baxter and his new book “The Forgotten World Way: Exploring the Secret History of the American Revolution, from Spain to India and Back Again”. What does Bunker Hill have in common with a jungle in Central America, a fort in India, and the towering Rock of Gibraltar? The answer―that they were all battlefields in the Revolutionary War―might astonish you. Blending modern experiences with historical research, Derek Baxter embarks on an adventure-filled quest across three continents, uncovering the truth behind the American Revolution and revealing the unlikely group of nations that united to take on the British Empire. Books may be preordered at Bards Alley.&nbsp; &nbsp;Be sure to save the date for&nbsp;June 14 from 12:00 - 4:00&nbsp;for the Colonial Faire &amp; Ice Cream Social and&nbsp;June 20&nbsp;to hear&nbsp;Gayle Jessup White speak about her book, “Reclamation: Sally Hemings, Thomas Jefferson, and a Descendant’s Search for Her Family’s Lasting Legacy.” For more information on upcoming events, visit&nbsp;<a target="_blank" href="https://historicvienna.org/Vienna250" rel="nofollow noopener">historicvienna.org/Vienna250</a></blockquote>
