Friday-Saturday May 14-15
Dominion Riverrock
Brown's Island, Free for spectators, Fee for participants,
Friday 4pm-9:30pm, Saturday 1pm-10pm
Dominion Riverrock unites the community through a unique mix of sports, music and fun, set against the backdrop of Richmond's downtown riverfront. The party begins on Friday afternoon with a 5K Mud Run, an acrobatic freestyle bike competition, live music by Grace Potter and the Nocturnals and so much more. Then, join in the fun Saturday as athletes from around the region square off in high-adrenaline activities both in and around the river—like the James River Scramble 10K trail run, mountain biking, kayaking and more. With additional musical performances by Robert Randolph and the Family Band, spectator water sports like the highflying Ultimate Air Dogs, food and exhibits, Dominion Riverrock is Richmond's premier river event. Produced by Venture Richmond and the Sports Backers. Full information including schedules and registration for individual events can be found at

May 7 – Lee Brice with Puddleduck
When Lee Brice first entered the country consciousness with the Top 30 hit "She Ain't Right" in 2007, his voice carrying over FM radio waves like honey trickling through lines of melody etched in leather, his rugged sound and raw emotion spoke for a new generation of Nashville recording artists. "I love what I'm hearing on the radio today," Brice said. "People aren't trying to be perfect or slick anymore. It reminds me of records back in the day, when everything sounded like it was played live. I'd love it if someday people could look back on what I'm doing now too and say, 'When Lee Brice came around, something changed in a positive way.'" As follow-up singles "Happy Endings," "Upper Middle Class White Trash," and "Love Like Crazy" have doggedly climbed the charts, Brice has continued to change the landscape of country with images inspired by the Carolina backcountry where he was raised. www.leebrice.com
