SHOW OF THE WEEK (tie!)
Friday, May 29: The Bee Ball with Atomic Rhythm All-Stars, Berkeley Cafe
What would you do if you could go back and have a prom the way you REALLY want it? Likely you'd have a good band, cool people and alcohol that wasn't chugged in the back seat of a car before going in the venue. The Beehive presents a grown-up version of the prom complete with a great band, alcohol and the knowledge that your cash is going to local organizations that are making a difference in the lives of others. Full disclosure: I am a member of the Beehive. Come see me, because I will be working the door during the first part of the evening.

Saturday, June 6:TGWY, The Great White Jenkins, Phil Cool of MegafaunBull City Headquarters
From the Facebook events page: Richmond's TGWY specialize in a beautifully ramshackle, indie-rock take on blue-eyed soul. The ingredients include cathartic organ, plaintive melodies, stirring arrangements, subtle exotica, even a healthy blast of skronky noise. With able backing from the Hollywood Cemetery Horns, the groups new EP is lo-fi delight.

From the PineCone press release
Born in Orange County, North Carolina in 1929 and celebrating his 80th birthday this year, John Dee Holeman grew up on a small farm and began playing the blues at the age of 14. Though he never met Blind Boy Fuller, Holeman credits Fuller with teaching him to play guitar. He says he learned to play by listening to Fuller's records and by playing with musicians who had learned directly from Fuller. Holeman uses both the Piedmont and Texas guitar styles in his playing.
