The Poe Museum

Join us at The Poe Museum on Thursday, May 14th for a Tell-Tale Talk with author Emily Carpenter, who will discuss her newest novel, A Spell For Saints And Sinners.
About A Spell For Saints And Sinners:
In front of an elegantly shabby townhouse on a Savannah side street sits a hand-painted sign: Miss Edie, Psychic. Ingrid White inherited the house and business from her beloved grandmother, a local celebrity in town. But unless Ingrid can find a way to pay for crushing property taxes and mounting repairs, she’s going to lose them both. Then Sailor Loeffler’s bachelorette party arrives at her door. Sailor is local royalty—part of the vast “Savannah Sauce” empire, beautiful and wealthy beyond imagining—and Ingrid’s reading is so accurate that she’s welcomed in as the bride-to-be’s confidante. To keep that access and all the privileges it brings, Ingrid relies more and more on hexes and dark spells—using the baneful magic Edie always warned her against. As Ingrid works even riskier spells, she is drawn further into the Loefflers’ inner circle and the obstacles in her path melt away. But is it witchcraft or other, more earthbound forces? Ingrid can feel the lines blurring even as her powers seem to grow, until she must confront the truth about just how far some people, including herself, will go to keep the life they’ve always wanted…

She’s worked as an actor, producer, screenwriter, and behind-the-scenes soap opera assistant for the CBS shows, As the World Turns and Guiding Light.

This week we tackle one of the biggest questions facing America today: What happens when constitutional rights begin to erode? The Supreme Court ‘s decision to gut the voting rights act falls in line with some of the worst decisions made by the court. There are moments in history when the Supreme Court gets it gloriously right. And there are moments when its decisions leave scars on the soul of this country. <a href="https://tinyurl.com/FPL2026a" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">RSVP HERE</a>
From voting rights and gerrymandering to church-state separation and the rise of Christian Nationalism, we’ll examine how recent court decisions are reshaping democracy, representation, and freedom itself.
Special Guests:
<ul>
<li>Congresswoman Jennifer McClellan discussing civil rights, Black representation, voting rights, and the ongoing fight for democracy.</li>
<li>Alessandro Terenzoni, Vice President of Public Policy, Americans United for Separation of Church and State</li>
</ul>
We’ll explore why the separation of church and state protects everyone’s freedom — and why many believe that wall is under attack. Because history teaches us: Rights can be expanded. Rights can also be taken away. <a href="https://tinyurl.com/FPL2026a" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">RSVP HERE</a>

The Canal Club

It’s not a party — it’s therapy at 120 decibels. House of Heavy is coming to Richmond on 15 May 2026, taking over The Canal Club for the loudest, hardest, most cathartic night out your city has to offer.
Built for the fans who crave the pit, the riffs, the breakdowns, and the chaos, House of Heavy brings the energy of a packed metal show without waiting for the next tour to roll through town. This is a DJ-driven heavy music night built on nu-metal nostalgia, alt-metal anthems, and metalcore breakdowns, the tracks that raised you and still make you want to throw down. From Slipknot to Spiritbox, Korn to Knocked Loose, Deftones to Bad Omens, expect deep cuts, classics, and nonstop heaters all night long.
Grab your crew. Lace up your boots. Bring your rage, your voice, and the energy you’ve been saving for the next festival. When your favorite band isn’t in town, House of Heavy is. Don’t wait for your favorite band’s next tour date, make this the night.<a href="https://eventvesta.com/events/143269/t/tickets" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">View Tickets &amp; More Info</a>

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.
