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.  Suzanne VegaWebsite | Facebook | Instagram | Twitter Suzanne Vega will perform a career-spanning show including favorites like “Tom’s Diner”\, “Luka”\, “Marlene On The Wall”\, and many more\, plus songs from her latest album\, Flying with Angels\, which was released in May 2025 to critical acclaim. She will be joined on stage by her longtime guitarist\, Gerry Leonard (of David Bowie fame)\, and cellist Stephanie Winters.  FLYING WITH ANGELS REVIEWS  “Suzanne Vega retains her knack for lucid reflections and crisp music to match… Her voice remains both knowing and observant.” – Rolling Stone “Veteran Alt-rocker Suzanne Vega is still making great music… It’s not an exaggeration to call her a straight-up legend.” – Stereogum  LIVE REVIEWS 2025  “Vega’s performance was nothing short of mesmerizing\, weaving tales through her soulful songs in a cozy setting that allowed for a deep connection with the audience.” – Finding Connecticut  “Suzanne Vega wove a spell of light and shadow\, blending classics and new material with intimate stories for a memorable night.” – Patch  ABOUT SUZANNE VEGA  Widely regarded as one of the foremost songwriters of her generation\, Suzanne Vega emerged as a leading figure of the folk revival of the early 1980s. Accompanying herself on acoustic guitar\, Vega sang what has been called contemporary folk or neo-folk songs of her own creation in Greenwich Village clubs. Since the release of her self-titled\, critically acclaimed 1985 debut album\, she has given sold-out concerts in many of the world’s best-known venues. Known for performances that convey deep emotion\, Vega’s distinctive\, “clear\, unwavering voice” (Rolling Stone) has been described as “a cool\, dry sandpaper-brushed near-whisper” by The Washington Post\, with NPR Music noting that she “has been making vital\, inventive music” throughout the course of her decades-long career. Bearing the stamp of a masterful storyteller who “observes the world with a clinically poetic eye” (The New York Times)\, Vega’s songs have tended to focus on city life\, ordinary people and real-world subjects. Notably succinct and understated\, her work is immediately recognizable—as utterly distinct and thoughtful as it was when her voice was first heard on the radio over 40 years ago.

SUMMARY:Shemekia Copeland
DESCRIPTION:Shemekia Copeland appearing in Richmond\, VABox Office: The Tin Pan charges lower fees for box office versus online sales. Our box office is open Tues-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.  Shemekia CopelandWebsite | Facebook | Instagram “Shemekia Copeland is the greatest blues singer of her generation.” –The Washington Post Shemekia Copeland possesses one of the most instantly recognizable and deeply soulful roots music voices of our time. The multi-GRAMMY nominee is beloved and honored worldwide for the fearlessness\, honesty and humor of her revelatory songs\, as well as for her winning\, engaging personality. The Chicago Tribune says\, “Copeland is the greatest female blues vocalist working today. There’s no mistaking the majesty of her instrument\, nor the ferocity of her delivery.”   On Copeland’s new album\, Blame It On Eve\, the songs all hit hard\, with jaw-dropping performances that instantly take hold and command repeated listening. “There’s serious business on the new album\,” Copeland says\, “but there are a lot of smiles here too\, a lot of joyous moments. It’s my blues for sure but it’s the brighter side. Issues are always important to me\, but so is rocking\, dancing and just having fun. And that’s something we all can all agree on.” Blame It On Eve was recorded in Nashville and produced by instrumentalist/songwriter Will Kimbrough (who also produced her previous three albums). It features 12 new songs that tackle subjects as important as a woman’s right to choose and climate change\, but also leaves space for Copeland to have fun and unwind. From the autobiographical\, rocking blues boogie Tough Mother to the anthemic title track’s good-humored but serious focus on reproductive self-determination to the happy hour of Wine O’Clock\, Copeland is inspired throughout.  Famed multi-instrumentalist Jerry Douglas adds his dobro to the fascinating\, true story of Tee Tot  Payne\, the obscure early 20th century Alabama musician who taught Hank Williams the blues\, and sacred steel player DaShawn Hickman brings his magic to the feisty and uplifting Tell The Devil.  Shemekia’s friend\, roots-rocker Alejandro Escovedo\, joins in on the anguished\, celestial query Is There Anybody Up There?. On the sad lover’s tale Belle Sorciere\, Copeland sings the chorus in French\, with the haunting melody composed by Pascal Danae of the Paris-based band Delgres (who were recently featured on the cover of Rolling Stone France). Copeland’s blistering\, deep blues delivery of Down On Bended Knee—by her late father\, the great bluesman Johnny Copeland—sets up the thought-provoking closer Heaven Help Us All\, a song originally made famous first by Stevie Wonder and later by Ray Charles. Taken as a whole\, the passionate\, charismatic\, joyous and at times confrontational Blame It On Eve is bound to become among the most celebrated releases of Copeland’s impressive\, still-unfolding career.  Born and raised in Harlem in 1979\, Shemekia Copeland first stepped on stage with her famous father at New York’s Cotton Club when she was eight. Upon release of her Alligator Records debut Turn The Heat Up in 1998 when she was only 18\, Copeland instantly became a blues and R&B force to be reckoned with. The New York Times and CNN\, among many others\, praised her talent\, larger-than-life personality\, dynamic\, authoritative voice and true star power. With each subsequent release\, Copeland’s music continued to evolve. From her debut through 2005’s The Soul Truth\, Shemekia earned eight Blues Music Awards and a host of Living Blues Awards. 2000’s Wicked received the first of her five GRAMMY nominations. After two successful releases on Telarc (including 2012’s GRAMMY-nominated 33 1/3)\, Copeland returned to Alligator Records in 2015 with the GRAMMY-nominated\, Blues Music Award-winning Outskirts Of Love\, melding blues with more rootsy\, Americana sounds.  With 2018’s America’s Child\, Copeland brought out the first of her celebrated trilogy of albums concerning the state of the world\, sung from her perspective as a young\, Black woman and new mother. MOJO magazine named America’s Child the #1 blues release of 2018. It won both the Blues Music Award and the Living Blues Award for Album Of The Year.  In addition to earning a GRAMMY Award nomination\, Copeland’s groundbreaking 2020 follow-up\, Uncivil War\, was named the 2020 Blues Album Of The Year by DownBeat\, MOJO and Living Blues magazines. “Shemekia Copeland is a powerhouse\,” said Rolling Stone. “She can do no wrong.” She received her fifth GRAMMY nomination for Done Come Too Far\, which closed the trilogy with a searing set of truth-to-power\, rock and Hill Country blues-fueled songs. “Shemekia Copeland is an antidote to artifice\,” said The Philadelphia Inquirer. “She is a commanding presence\, a powerhouse vocalist delivering the truth.”  Copeland has performed thousands of gigs at clubs\, festivals and concert halls all over the world\, and has appeared in films\, on national television\, NPR\, and has been the subject of major feature stories in hundreds of magazines\, newspapers and internet publications. She’s sung with Bonnie Raitt\, Keith Richards\, Carlos Santana\, Dr. John\, James Cotton and many others\, and has shared a bill with The Rolling Stones. She entertained U.S. troops in Iraq and Kuwait in 2008\, a trip she says\, “that opened my eyes to the larger world around me and my place in it.” In 2012\, she performed with B.B. King\, Mick Jagger\, Buddy Guy\, Trombone Shorty\, Gary Clark\, Jr. and others at the White House for President and Mrs. Obama. She has showcased on PBS’s Austin City Limits\, was featured in a six-minute story on the PBS News Hour and was the subject of a major Washington Post Sunday magazine piece. In April 2022\, she performed at the United Nations General Assembly Hall to a worldwide audience of millions as part of International Jazz Day celebrations. In 2023\, Copeland guested on the GRAMMY Award-winning compilation album\, Basie Swings The Blues\, on the Candid label. She continues to receive regular radio airplay on stations all over the globe. Additionally\, Copeland hosts her own popular daily blues radio show on SiriusXM’s Bluesville.  Forbes declared\, “Shemekia is fearless\, honest and hopeful…she holds back nothing as she delivers hard-hitting musical truths.” The late John Prine paid her a huge compliment when he said\, “She simply doesn’t sound like anybody else.” And none other than Copeland’s friend\, the legendary Mavis Staples\, announced\, “I am so happy Shemekia is delivering these songs that the world needs to hear. Her voice is strong and soulful\, and her message comes from her heart.” With Blame It On Eve\, Copeland embarks on what she calls “a vacation from all the heaviness.” Blame It On Eve contains plenty of Copeland’s trademark bold and courageous songs\, but here Copeland is also looking to unplug from the weight of world. “My last three records have dealt with breaking news\,” she says. “This record is for people like me who want a break from the news.” “Shemekia Copeland has established herself as one of the leading blues artists of our time. Profound and truly powerful…inviting you to think and to party.” – NPR Music“Shemekia Copeland gets her message across loud and clear. She transcends with a mix of styles including gospel\, rock\, blues\, soul\, and Americana\, proudly representing her generation with style and grace in a voice too strong to be ignored.” – No Depression

SUMMARY:The Gibson Brothers
DESCRIPTION:The Gibson Brothers 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.  The Gibson BrothersWebsite | Facebook | Instagram | Twitter “The Gibson Brothers have built their legacy upon a sound that salutes the past while still pushing forward.” – ROLLING STONE There’s a reason why Ricky Skaggs pulled Eric and Leigh Gibson off the stage at the Ryman two decades ago and offered to produce their debut record. The same thing that led David Ferguson and Grammy Award winning producer and Black Keys frontman Dan Auerbach to co-write and produce their 14th album “Mockingbird” (2018) and release it on his own label Easy Eye Sound alongside cultural icons such as Hank Williams Jr. and Dr. John: The Gibson Brothers are the real deal. They can pick. They can sing. And they can write a damn good country song. They’ve won about every bluegrass award you can name and released albums on almost every premier Americana label you can think of including Sugar Hill and Rounder\, and\, if that’s not enough\, their songs have been recorded by bluegrass legends no less than Del McCoury. It’s a resume almost anybody in country music would be proud to have. But despite all of this\, the Gibson Brothers are not yet household names. Their latest album\, “Darkest Hour\,” produced by dobro master Jerry Douglas might just change that. As soon as you hear Leigh singing with Alison Krauss  on the new project you realize that his voice is as good as anyone in music today. Add the brother harmony to that and they have something truly unique. While “Mockingbird” featured gorgeous production\, recreating the sound on stage was difficult. “We put together a little band to go out and try to recreate it\,” Eric told me\, but we couldn’t. We would have to have such a huge band to try to recreate that record\, but we did the best we could.” Douglas—who has won 14 Grammy awards and backed up everyone from Ray Charles to Paul Simon and George Jones—wanted to make a record they could actually play on the road. So he picked the best songs (out of dozens) and squirreled them away in Sound Emporium’s Studio B. But then the pandemic hit. “We did our last shows in March of 2020\,” Eric told me. “We were in Nashville the week everything was shutting down. It was surreal\, but Jerry was like\, ‘Guys\, the world’s going crazy. Let’s let this be our little cocoon.’ And we did. We cut all of the acoustic stuff and then went home and didn’t play any more gigs until things started opening. Then we went back and finished the record with Jerry in February of 2021.” The result is arguably the strongest record The Gibson Brothers have ever made. The songs recorded in the first recording period featured Mike Barber (bass)\, Justin Moses (mandolin)\, Eamon McGloughlin (fiddle)\, and of course\, Jerry Douglas\, adding in John Gardner (drums)\, Guthrie Trapp (electric guitar)\, and Todd Parks (bass) for the final tracks\, “Darkest Hour” showcases just how easily Eric and Leigh move from what Dan Auerbach dubbed “country soul” (“I Go Driving”) to high octane bluegrass (“What a Difference A Day Makes” and “Dust”) with Douglas always keeping the spotlight on the songs themselves. “That’s what I love about those guys\,” Douglas told me\, “they are just great songwriters.” Growing up on a dairy farm in northern New York and then traveling around the world in a bluegrass band has given them a unique vantage point on life\, and the songs on “Darkest Hour” are a testament to that. “Jerry wanted to hear everything we’d written\,” Eric told me\, “so we just sent him songs: brand new songs\, old songs\, there’s stuff on that record 20 years old that we never recorded. We wanted to see what he would do with us as singer-songwriters. We respect him that much. Some of my favorite records are Jerry Douglas produced records. He didn’t disappoint.” If the Gibson Brothers had stayed in Nashville in 1999 they might possibly be Grand Ole Opry members by now. At the very least they would be hit songwriters on Music Row. But\, just like their buddy Del McCoury\, they chose family over success (McCoury was in his 50s when he moved to Nashville and didn’t really see major success until he was approaching 60).All they need is someone to shine a light on them. Their talent level is well-established\, the only producers they have ever worked with are Ricky Skaggs\, Dan Auerbach\, David Ferguson and Jerry Douglas. I dare say not many musicians can stack up a list of producers that strong. For the Gibson Brothers though\, they just want to keep writing\, singing\, and standing on a stage.

SUMMARY:Marion Meadows & Alex Bugnon
DESCRIPTION:Marion Meadows & Alex Bugnon 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.  Marion MeadowsWebsite | Facebook | Instagram Alex BugnonWebsite | Facebook | Instagram Two of contemporary jazz’s most enduring voices share the stage tonight. Saxophonist Marion Meadows\, a Berklee-trained multi-instrumentalist who cut his teeth playing alongside Norman Connors\, Brook Benton\, and The Temptations before launching a solo career in 1990 with For Lover’s Only\, has spent over three decades crafting the smooth\, soulful sound heard on classics like Keep It Right There\, Body Rhythm\, and his latest\, Twice As Nice. Pianist Alex Bugnon\, who grew up amid the legendary Montreux Jazz Festival and counts Herbie Hancock as an early friend and mentor\, arrived on the scene with his chart-topping 1989 debut Love Season and has since built a catalog spanning Epic\, RCA\, and his own Xela Records\, including 107 Degrees in the Shade\, This Time Around\, and his 12th album\, HARLEM. Together\, Meadows and Bugnon bring a combined legacy of R&B-infused\, soul-steeped jazz that has helped define the smooth jazz format for generations of listeners. Both artists honed their craft at Berklee College of Music and built their reputations as first-call sidemen before stepping into the spotlight as bandleaders in their own right — Meadows with his soprano and tenor sax mastery\, Bugnon with his percussive\, gospel- and funk-inflected piano work. Expect a night of genre-blending grooves\, standards reimagined\, and the kind of effortless chemistry that comes from decades spent perfecting the art of contemporary jazz.
