SUMMARY:Stanley Clarke
DESCRIPTION:Four-time Grammy Award Winner Stanley Clarke has attained “living legend” status during his over 50-year career as a bass virtuoso. He is the first bassist in history who doubles on acoustic and electric bass with equal ferocity and the first jazz-fusion bassist ever to headline tours\, selling out shows worldwide. A veteran of over 40 albums\, he won the 2011 Best Contemporary Jazz Album Grammy Award for The Stanley Clarke Band. Clarke co-founded the seminal fusion group Return to Forever with Chick Corea and Lenny White. In 2012 Return to Forever won a Grammy Award and Latin Grammy for Best Jazz Instrumental Album\, Forever. \n\n\n\nClarke’s creativity has been recognized and rewarded in every way imaginable. In 2022 Clarke was selected by the National Endowment for the Arts as one of its four new Jazz Master honorees. This is the highest honor that the United States bestows on jazz artists. He was Rolling Stone’s very first Jazzman of the Year and bassist winner of Playboy’s Music Award for ten straight years. Clarke was honored with Bass Player Magazine’s Lifetime Achievement Award and is a member of Guitar Player Magazine’s “Gallery of Greats.” In 2011 he was honored with the highly prestigious Miles Davis Award at the Montreal Jazz Festival for his entire body of work. Clarke has won Downbeat Magazine’s Reader’s and Critics Poll for Best Electric Bass Player for many years. In September 2016 he became a part of the permanent collection displayed at the Smithsonian’s new National Museum of African American History and Culture (NMAAHC) in Washington DC. \n\n\n\nIn 2023 It was announced that Clarke will partner with Santa Monica\, CA’s\, BroadStage as its Artist in Residence. This multi-year partnership includes performances\, curation\, and mentorship for Santa Monica College Music Department and Santa Monica High School Jazz students. The cornerstone of the residency is the launch in three years’ time of an intergenerational jazz festival in Santa Monica. \n\n\n\nUnable to tour most of 2020\, Clarke’s Pandemic work involved developing a web series\, Stanley Clarke’s Bass Nation. The project is about the dynamics of the music industry\, recording and performing\, and include Stanley’s conversations with noted musicians\, gear reviews\, play-throughs and performances. \n\n\n\nAn accomplished film and TV composer of well over 70 projects\, his credits include Boyz N The Hood\, the Tina Turner biopic What’s Love Got To Do With It\, Romeo Must Die\, The Transporter and Best Man Holiday. He has garnered three Emmy Nominations and a BMI Award for his scoring. In 2014 Clarke was invited to become a member of the exclusive Academy of Motion Picture Arts & Sciences. \n\n\n\nBorn in Philadelphia\, Clarke has been a constant force of nature in American music since the early 1970s with the success of the jazz-fusion group Return To Forever. That accomplishment gave way to a number of extremely successful solo albums for Clarke. Along the way\, he has collaborated with Quincy Jones\, Stan Getz\, Art Blakey\, Paul McCartney\, Jeff Beck\, Keith Richards\, Aretha Franklin\, Stevie Wonder\, Chaka Khan\, The Police\, Herbie Hancock and many more\, and has shared the stage with Bob Marley and Miles Davis. \n\n\n\nHe believes in giving back to help young musicians hone their skills. He and his wife Sofia established The Stanley Clarke Foundation eighteen years ago\, which offers scholarships to talented young musicians.

SUMMARY:JUSTIN GOLDEN'S RICHMOND RESIDENCY
DESCRIPTION:featuring THE DEVIL’S COATTAILS; R.O. SHAPIRO (San Francisco); and ASHLEY VIRGINIA (NC)\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe series is curated by Justin Golden\, an American roots\, Piedmont blues\, and Americana artist based in Richmond. Justin has spent years building a career rooted in traditional blues\, folk\, and country while actively mentoring younger musicians and supporting local arts initiatives. \n\n\n\nJustin 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. \n\n\n\nJustin 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. \n\n\n\nIn 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. \n\n\n\nAlso performing: \n\n\n\nR.O. (Raphael Odell) SHAPIRO is a purveyor of original Americana music\, carefully crafted and soulfully sung. He was born in Brooklyn\, NY and grew up in Sag Harbor\, an old whaling town at the very eastern end of Long Island. He started performing at an early age\, first with dance and then musical theater\, before picking up guitar at the end of high school. He attended Yale University\, still focusing on theater\, but spent a lot of his evenings singing with a cappella groups\, a rock band\, and a choral folk ensemble called Tangled Up In Blue\, or TUIB. After graduating he moved to New York City to pursue acting\, but also started picking up some small venue gigs. When he realized that he was more excited about playing dive bars than Broadway\, he packed up and headed out west to California to team up with fellow TUIB alum\, Jenner Fox\, forming the band Odell Fox. They started touring almost immediately\, cultivating an energetic and intimate live show experience that R.O. has continued to build upon as a solo artist. They moved to Austin\, TX\, where they released two records\, the “Moon Shiner EP\,” in 2016\, and “Thank You\,” in 2017. When the band parted ways at the end of 2017\, R.O. stayed in Austin\, gigging regularly in the hallowed venues of that world famous music scene. It was then he developed the full-band\, electrified sound that you can hear on 2021’s “King Electric Sessions\,” his first release since leaving Odell Fox. In recent years he has typically played solo\, touring regularly in the Northeast\, California\, and Pacific Northwest including Alaska and Vancouver Island. R.O. has drawn comparisons to Ray LaMontagne\, Josh Ritter\, and Nathaniel Rateliff. He is a winner of the 2022 Kerrville Folk Festival New Folk songwriting contest\, and recently recorded with producer/instrumentalist Phil Cook (Bon Iver\, Hiss Golden Messenger.) He is currently based in Northern California\, and always on the lookout for new communities and stages where he can share his authentic warmth and wit. \n\n\n\nASHLEY VIRGINIA is a North Carolina–based singer-songwriter\, multi-instrumentalist\, producer\, educator\, and organizer whose work centers grassroots community building\, radical listening spaces\, and folk traditions as living culture. Her impact reaches far beyond the stage. Her songwriting has been praised by Americana Highways as “raw\, contemporary angst\,” and her sound has been likened to the spiritual daughter of Linda Ronstadt and Paul McCartney; drifting between ’70s country cool\, West Coast cosmic Americana\, and ’60s rock ’n’ roll. As a queer and neurodivergent artist\, Ashley’s work centers vulnerability\, collective care\, and liberation. Her songwriting explores healing\, resilience\, social justice\, and shared humanity; functioning both as personal medicine and a call to connection. In 2026\, she will serve as a panelist at Folk Alliance International on “Tracing and Reclaiming Feminist Rhetoric in Folk Protest Music.” Whether building songwriter ecosystems\, producing records alone in a treehouse\, or inviting rooms of strangers into shared breath and song\, Ashley Virginia is cultivating a living folk culture one voice\, one story\, and one listening space at a time.

SUMMARY:MEKONG XPRESS + THE GET FRESH HORNS
DESCRIPTION:The legendary Richmond supergroup emerges from deep space to bring y’all a galaxy-sized hunk of funk and soul. \n\n\n\nRVA Mag writes: “Mekong Xpress and the Get Fresh Horns are one of Richmond’s grooviest collectives. They’ve bottled all the beauty and funk of the ’70s\, strapped it to a rocket\, and taken us along for the ride. Smooth and drifty\, they make you feel like you’re cruising past stars with the windows down.” \n\n\n\nStyle Weekly writes: “The overall sound has a classic mid-’70s feel\, somewhere in a sonic landscape where early Hall and Oates\, Earth Wind and Fire\, and The Headhunters overlap.” \n\n\n\nThe seven-piece ensemble features all-star players who have shaped the sound of too many iconic groups to mention. This group includes Andrew Rapisarda (guitar\, vocals); Todd Herrington (bass\, vocals); Kelli Strawbridge (drums\, vocals); Ben White (keys\, vocals); Bob Miller (trumpet\, percussion) JC Kuhl (sax); and Toby Whitaker (trombone).
