SUMMARY:The Vanishing Tavern
DESCRIPTION:with Bard City\, Cyanwoode\, Tiara & Andrew\, and The Ex Patriots\n\n\nThe Vanishing Tavern is in town for one night only. Journey to another realm with us. Dress to impress and raise your tankards high! \n \nBard City plays original folk rock songs about their appreciation for the fantasy genre\, TTRPGs\, LARP\, and the collective story-telling project that is nerd culture. Bard City looks forward to taking you along on the adventure\, where together you’ll persevere through the power of friendship (and a lot of violence).  \nFormed in Baltimore in 2022 with members from Baltimore\, Washington DC\, and Richmond\, VA you can find the band at conventions\, renaissance faires\, the Feywild\, Gielinor\, Middle Earth\, and wherever a drinking song is needed.  \nBard City has released 2 albums – The Power of Friendship and Drinking Songs for the Level Ones. They recently released their single ArchChad\, a song about a power lifting wizard.  \nWelcome to Bard City! We hope you decide to hang around. \nInstagram: @bardcity.band \nYouTube: @bardcityband \nFacebook: Bard City \nTikTok: @bardcity.band \nTwitch: twitch.tv/bardcity \nwww.bardcity.band \n \nTiara & Andrew are an alternative folk-pop duo creating music where soulful vocals\, organic instrumentation\, and ethereal storytelling meet. The Virginia-based duo explores love\, spirituality\, nature\, and the mysteries of existence through a distinctly celestial lens. \nTheir music invites listeners to slow down\, wonder\, and question what it means to be human—blending intimate songwriting with a sense of magic and connection to something larger than ourselves.  \nhttps://www.instagram.com/tiaranandrew?igsi=MXU5ZmIwbDd6bHp1OQ== \n https://www.facebook.com/share/1Dc7BZpc2Z/ \n \nBe transported as Cyanwoode sets the scene with enchanting\, tavern-inspired music. The duo blends Irish whistle\, hammered dulcimer\, lute dulcimer\, and voice to create magical\, original arrangements of nostalgic video game music songs\, music from fantasy soundtracks\, and Celtic and Irish traditional songs. Accompany these elven bards to a place of magic and melodies as they quest to collect songs and share them with travelers throughout the realms. \nhttps://linktr.ee/cyanwoode  \nhttps://www.instagram.com/cyanwoode/ \nhttps://www.youtube.com/@cyanwoode \nhttps://www.twitch.tv/kellyandmitch \n \nThe Ex-Patriots play a style of traditional Irish music\, infused with the energy of punk and the storytelling of American folk music. With original lyrics composed by lead Jonah\, the band fills in with lively\, fist pumping beats. Formed at Lynchburg College nearly 25 years ago\, the Ex-Patriots still put on a high-energy performance unlike any other. Making the move to Richmond in 2002\, the band has built a reputation for sing-alongs\, dancing\, and audience participation. Consisting of traditional instruments like the tin whistle\, mandolin\, and violin\, the band brings an old Irish sound and an original blend of influences to their shows. And while the band long had a rotating cast of characters\, the current lineup has been performing regularly for the past eight years at venues like the Church Hill Irish Festival\, Northside Grill\, Mainline Brewery\, Poe’s Pub\, Final Gravity Brewing\, and many more. The Ex-Patriots are firmly rooted in the style of the Pogues and will always perform a few Pogues songs. However\, they also step outside the box to perform original music inspired by punk\, American folk\, and old-time gospel. Their new album features everything from upbeat drinking songs to lovesick ballads and from the deeply personal to the unabashedly political. The Ex-Patriots first album\, Place I Call Home was released in March 2025 and can be found on all streaming platforms. \nYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@theexpatriots/videos \nInstagram: @theexpatriots \nFB: The Ex-Patriots

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 Richmond\n\n\nLearn 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/ \n \nThe 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. \nDemocratic 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. \nThe 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.
