All reservations are subject to a food and drink minimum of $15 per guest. Gratuity of 20% is automatically added to all food and beverage purchases.  Sister SadieWebsite | Facebook | Instagram | Twitter There was never a master plan. No label pitch. No brand blueprint. Just a spontaneous jam session at Nashville’s Station Inn between a few friends. All women\, all seasoned players out to make a little noise on a weeknight. What happened next was alchemy: the room lit up\, the crowd roared and by the time the night was over\, something had shifted. The landscape of bluegrass\, and the women who played it\, would never be the same. That night became the origin story of Sister Sadie: a band born by accident\, kept alive by chemistry and fueled by an unshakable bond between women who had spent their lives not just learning the rules\, but defying them. Over the next decade\, Sister Sadie would become a powerhouse. A GRAMMY-nominated\, IBMA-sweeping\, Grand Ole Opry-starring force. But for all the stages they played and accolades they earned\, they were still often reduced to a single line: all-female bluegrass band. It was true\, yet reductive. Because Sister Sadie was never about labels. They were about the music. They are about the music. The stories. The fire. And the unrelenting drive to speak their truth through a tradition that hadn’t always made room for it. “We’ve never been interested in playing a role to fit someone else’s idea of what bluegrass should look like\,” says Deanie Richardson\, the band’s fiery fiddle player and a two-time IBMA Fiddle Player of the Year. “We’ve always played from the heart\, and from the gut.” Now\, with the release of All Will Be Well\, Sister Sadie isn’t just rewriting the rules. They’ve burned the whole damn playbook too. This is the sound of a band that’s grown\, hurt\, healed and evolved. A record born not from the need to prove something\, but from the desire to tell the truth\, and loudly. On All Will Be Well\, you can still hear the fingerprints of bluegrass all over the instrumentation. But what rises above is something bigger: a fearless fusion of country\, Americana\, gospel and pure emotional storytelling. “This album is us\, no filter\,” says Gena Britt\, founding member and banjo powerhouse. “We didn’t try to stay inside any lines. We just wrote and recorded what felt honest.” And what stories they are. On “Prodigal Daughter\,” written by Dani Flowers\, lead vocalist Jaelee Roberts\, the 2024 IBMA Female Vocalist of the Year\, delivers a performance so raw and haunted\, it feels like she’s lived every lyric. “Do What You Want” crackles with righteous defiance\, a declaration of self-worth wrapped in swagger and stomp.  “This Is Me (You’re Not Talking To)” turns heartbreak into a battle cry\, while “If I Don’t Have You” strips everything back to what really matters: love\, desire and the spaces in between. Then there’s “Orphan Train\,” a stunning reimagining that runs on rails of grief and hope. It’s a nod to the past that feels chillingly present. The title track\, “All Will Be Well\,” a Gabe Dixon tune that offers a quiet benediction to anyone who’s been through the fire and comes out singing. And “Let the Circle Be Broken” flips the old gospel standard on its head\, turning rupture into renewal. The band even makes room for a little romantic chaos on “Can’t Let Go of Your Love” — proof that heartbreak songs still slap hardest when they’re wrapped in banjo rolls and airtight harmonies. This is not a band flexing for the industry. This is six women telling you exactly who they are. And who they are is formidable. Gena Britt brings decades of road-tested banjo chops and a vocal tone that anchors the band’s harmony-rich sound. Deanie Richardson’s fiddle playing bridges ancient soul and modern electricity.  Jaelee Roberts commands attention with a voice that can cut glass or cradle it. Dani Flowers\, a gifted songwriter with cuts across country and Americana\, adds heart and heat through her lyrics and guitar work. Rainy Miatke brings sharp mandolin picking and a fresh creative spark that fits like a glove. And the newest addition\, Katie Blomarz-Kimball\, brings an extensive bass knowledge that has become the inimitable driving force behind Sister Sadie. “We’re not trying to be anybody else\,” says Dani Flowers. “This is the most ‘us’ we’ve ever sounded.” That feeling of arrival\, of authenticity\, pulses through every track on All Will Be Well. It’s a record built on scars and joy\, strength and surrender. It’s not just about surviving the storm\, it’s about coming out the other side louder. “It’s not about being bluegrass enough\,” says Jaelee Roberts. “It’s about being brave enough to evolve.” That evolution has been hard won. Sister Sadie has spent years fighting for their space in a genre that often asked them to shrink. But instead of shrinking\, they rose and continue rising.  Three IBMA Vocal Group of the Year awards. Two GRAMMY nominations. A headline spot at nearly every major roots festival. A seat on the Opry stage. And most importantly\, the voice of the next generation of roots music. Still\, All Will Be Well marks a new chapter. A band no longer defined by what they represent but by what they sound like. “This record is a reminder that you can stay rooted and still grow wild\,” says Rainy Miatke. From gut-punch ballads to high-octane instrumental parts\, All Will Be Well is the album Sister Sadie was always meant to make. Not for the industry. Not for the silencers. But for the women they’ve become and the world ready to listen. Because yes\, Sister Sadie is still a bluegrass band. But they’re also more. They are country with claws. Americana with muscle. Harmony-driven and hellbent on telling the truth. And they’re not asking for permission anymore. They’re making room. They’re taking names. And they’re just getting started.

SUMMARY:Activism in Action - Learn How We Can BLOCK FLOCK with the Richmond DSA
DESCRIPTION:The Richmond Democratic Socialists of America will talk to us about their efforts to BLOCK FLOCK in the City of RichmondLearn more from the Richmond DSA about their efforts to BLOCK FLOCK in the City of Richmond — we’ll have a presentation as well as discussion on what Flock is and the issues it poses to privacy and civil rights. Learn more in the meantime at https://www.dsarichmond.org/initiative/block-flock/  The Richmond Democratic Socialists of America are dedicated to building a multiracial\, working class movement rooted in democratic socialism. Our strategy acknowledges the class structure of the U.S. society. This class structure means that there is a basic conflict of interest between those sectors with enormous economic power and the vast majority of the population. We are the working class. Democratic Socialism envisions a humane social order based on popular control of resource production\, economic planning\, equitable distribution of resources\, gender and racial equality\, and non-oppressive relationships. The Richmond Democratic Socialist of America reject an economic order based on private profit\, alienated labor\, unequal wealth and power\, discrimination based on race and sex\, and brutality and violence in defense of the status quo.

SUMMARY:Jeanette Harris
DESCRIPTION:Jeanette Harris appearing at The Tin Pan in Richmond\, VABox Office: The Tin Pan charges lower fees for box office versus online sales. Our box office is open Tue-Sat 12PM-5PM. Please visit us during those hours or call 804-447-8189. Seating: We assign seats in order of when you purchase your tickets. All reservations are subject to a food and drink minimum of $15 per guest. Gratuity of 20% is automatically added to all food and beverage purchases.  Jeanette HarrisWebsite | Instagram | Twitter | Spotify Jeanette Harris is the scintillating saxtress of smooth jazz. This lady understands that energetic and captivating performances matched with uplifting and inspiring vibrations in the music are the solid platinum recipe for success. Fans already recognize her for her wonderful cover of Stevie Wonder’s “All I Do\,” which hit Billboard’s smooth jazz singles chart from her previous album\, Saxified. Classically trained in both sax and piano\, a graduate of Boston’s famed Berklee College of Music\, and the saxophonist for the late\, great Teena Marie’s final year of touring\, Jeanette has weathered the fiercest challenges to bring the world her own brand of soulful healing vibes. That baptism awaits in her fourth CD\, Summer Rain\, on which Jeanette had a hand in writing all of the selections except her lovely cover of the Luther Vandross classic “Here and Now.” Its 11 sunny songs wrap the listener in the glow of fun love grooves and sweet romance. “The music of Summer Rain is all about a positive vibe\,” Jeanette states. “It’s about staying in love…never falling out of love\, feeling good\, being faithful and always following a positive route. Great things have happened for me in the last year. I’ve learned what’s really important in life – my family and my music.” Those looking to hear Jeanette really dig in on her horn should focus on two songs that feature her friend Darrell Crooks on guitar. The first is the dreamy “Take Me There\,” a sensual mellow groove that finds Jeanette layering her horn in subtle combinations that tease\, tickle and mesmerize the ear. And then there’s “The Ride\,” a techno groove that bumps into some truly heated interplay and exchange between Jeanette and Darrell that makes you want to see what all of that energy looks\, sounds and feels like live on stage. Other highlights include the playful “Ja’licious” (Jeanette’s sassy melding of the word “jazz” with “delicious”)\, the radiant “Oh So Good” and the laidback groove “Chillin’.” “My rapper friends say they can really flow on that one\,” Jeanette shares with a laugh. Extra special are the passionately building “Passing Time” (a song featuring keyboardist George Freeman that initially came to her – out of the blue – in the shower)\, the lusciously melodic “Just Keep Holding On” (one of two writing collaborations with the prolific Chuck Cymone)\, and the spicily syncopated “Muy Caliente’” – Jeanette’s maiden foray into Latin Groove on which she also plays some mean piano. Listen closely…ai cuidado! The love-at-first-sight scenario song/title track of Summer Rain showcases the vocals of Jeanette’s secret weapon singer Joel Bowers – math teacher by day\, soul crooner by night. “One of my trademarks is writing a song for a vocalist then having the instrumental version on the same album\,” she offers. “On my CD Saxified\, I wrote the lyrics first for ‘You Can Dance’ then reworked it for my saxophone. I switched it up for ‘Summer Rain’ and wrote the music first\, then the words. I wrote the lyrics with my mother and think it’s beautiful. It’s about a guy who sees a pretty lady in the rain and falls for her instantly. It’s important to remember those moments…especially when that person makes you angry! Reflect on that memory. You’ll be more humble and understanding.” Equally inspired\, but in a completely different light is Summer Rain’s other vocal piece\, “Thankful\,” a heartfelt offering of gratitude sent up to Jesus in song. “It’s important to give thanks to The Lord\,” she says. “‘Thankful’ came from my heart with lyrics that I truly feel deeply.” ***** Jeanette Harris was born and raised in California’s post-Gold Rush town of Fresno in the center of the San Joaquin Valley. Reared by her mother\, Annette\, and her church organist father\, Floyd Harris – both of deep spiritual faith and intense believers in the art of music – Jeanette and her older brother\, Michael\, received their love of God and family genetically. “When I was 5\, my father put a guitar in my hands\,” Jeanette begins. “A year later\, he switched me to piano with a private teacher. I didn’t like it. Reading treble and bass clefs was so overwhelming that I would cry\, but it gave me a great jumpstart. One day while driving me to 4th grade\, Mom was playing a cassette by Grover Washington\, Jr. I remember looking at the picture of his alto sax. It was beautiful and Grover made it look so hip. I felt it would be the perfect instrument for me.” Jeanette played saxophone and piano from grade school to high school where band teacher Steve Alcala also had her play in the Fresno City College jazz band even before she graduated high school. She won numerous awards and accolades\, which led to a scholarship to attend Berklee in Boston where she earned a Bachelor of Arts degree in Music Performance. Back in Fresno\, Jeanette recorded her first self-released CD\, Here and There\, grabbing brother Michael to play drums with Patrick Olvera on bass\, and began building a following by regularly packing Mike’s Pub & Pizzeria. She recorded her official debut album Reflections followed by Smooth Holiday Greetings on her family’s J&M Records (Jeanette & Michael’s initials\, Mom and Dad’s funds). Citing her influences\, Jeanette continues\, “(Saxophonist) Richard Elliot brought some serious R&B groove at a time when smooth jazz really needed more of that funk vibe\, especially his song ‘Corner Pocket.’ I just loved his production! As a composer\, Stevie Wonder’s music touches the hearts of people with lyrics that have strong meanings\, and beautiful chords and melodies. And (guitarist) Norman Brown is the one that inspired me to want to be a performer when my parents took me to see him for my very first concert at The Bastille in Hanford\, CA. He gave me chills!” After crossing paths with Brown on the road\, Jeanette co-wrote a song with him that became the title track of her fourth CD\, Saxified. Brown recorded the song on his Grammy nominated CD\, 24/7\, with a different title\, “The Best is Yet to Come” featuring Gerald Albright. “To have Gerald playing a melody that I wrote is so amazing\,” Jeanette shares. Jeanette has played major events from The Coombs River Bend Ranch Festival to festivals in Japan and London.  She has performed as a side musician with Howard Hewett and Deniece Williams and has opened shows for greats ranging from smooth jazz stars Kirk Whalum\, Najee and The Rippingtons to R&B stars Babyface\, Phil Perry and KEM. “I got a standing ovation opening for KEM\,” Jeanette beams. “He came out to meet me and get my CD. His people said he never does that! That let me know my music does crossover.” The most special person to come along in the course of Ms. Harris’ career thus far was singer/songwriter Marie\, who hired her unheard/unseen in a destiny-streaked leap of faith totally befitting Jeanette’s life and beliefs. “Her trumpet player saw me at the 2010 NAMM Show and asked for my business card. It had already been an unbelievable day where I got endorsements for both Unison saxophones and BARI Reeds. As I was driving home\, the guy called me and asked if I wanted to play with Teena for a concert…in London! I couldn’t believe it. I got 4 hours sleep that night studying her music then drove to L.A. for the audition. I had to pull off the freeway when Teena called me personally to get my passport information. The band tested my improvising skills on a funk song and a ballad – then I was in! Teena finally arrived\, gave me a big hug and away we went. She featured me in her last concerts playing sax on ‘I’m a Sucker for Your Love’ and ‘Portuguese Love\,’ and flute on ‘Déjà vu.’ She was truly a blessing in my life. Teena taught me how to be a strong female leader. I will miss her always.” Now with her fourth and finest CD Summer Rain bowing with her own signature Summer Rain perfume to match\, Jeanette Harris is unquestionably the next “Starchild of the Saxophone” touching hearts with every breath she takes.

SUMMARY:Chris Pierce
DESCRIPTION:Chris Pierce appearing at The Tin Pan in Richmond\, VABox Office: The Tin Pan charges lower fees for box office versus online sales. Our box office is open Tue-Sat 12PM-5PM. Please visit us during those hours or call 804-447-8189. Seating: We assign seats in order of when you purchase your tickets. All reservations are subject to a food and drink minimum of $15 per guest. Gratuity of 20% is automatically added to all food and beverage purchases.  Chris PierceWebsite | Facebook | Instagram Chris Pierce has been a singular voice in American roots music for more than two decades. Over the course of eight solo albums\, many side projects\, and more guest appearances than most could do in one lifetime\, his powerful songs have given voice to the voiceless and shed light into dark and hidden corners of the American dream. Pierce’s newest record\, Songs For The Heavy Hearted\, captures moments in the lives of everyday people as they struggle with crisis and encapsulates everything that has been so powerful about his music to date. At its core\, Songs For The Heavy Hearted is a diary of — and love letter to — freedom fighters everywhere; its constant refrain is that love\, joy\, hope\, and softness are not things we need to sacrifice to fight the good fight. In fact\, they are integral. As Pierce explains\, “Even as we refuse to take our rights for granted\, it’s getting harder to find a little bit of light to keep us going. Whatever happens\, we have to find a way to count our blessings and seek liberty for ourselves and fight for the liberty of others.” These are lessons Pierce learned early on. Growing up in an interracial household when his parents’ marriage still wasn’t recognized as legal in 16 states\, he witnessed a cross burned on his front lawn as a child. “I held optimism near to my heart\, even with the stuff we went through as a family\, we never gave way to despair.” When he was 15 and developed a rare hearing disorder called Otosclerosis that led to total hearing loss (before a surgery that regained partial hearing in one ear)\, he did not back down. “That could have been it for me\, but instead I learned resilience\,” Pierce says. “I turned a crisis into a superpower. It’s what you have to do.” With supporting performances from Allison Russell\, Steve Earle\, Grey DeLisle\, and Garrison Starr\, Songs For The Heavy Hearted embodies the belief that ‘we shall overcome’ and the sentiment has never sounded more uplifting and within reach. Over decades of touring\, Pierce has performed as both a headliner and sought-after support act alongside Neil Young\, B.B. King\, Al Green\, Steve Earle\, Seal\, Aaron Neville\, Jill Scott\, Allison Russell\, the Blind Boys of Alabama\, and many others. Pierce has appeared on NPR’s World Cafe\, Mountain Stage\, American Folk Show and has had performances at Newport Folk Festival\, AmericanaFest\, Folk Alliance\, MerleFest\, Bottlerock\, Calgary Folk Festival\, Vancouver Folk Festival\, and more.
