Real in Richmond

The Richmond Folk Festival -- happening Oct. 10-12 along the downtown's riverfront -- has booked a terrifically wide-ranging bunch of bands and artists this year. Highlights include Lee Sexton, The Itals, Dan Tyminski, E.U., Dale Watson, BeauSoleil, Ledward Kaapana & Mike Kaawa, and Howard Tate. I didn't make it up to the Commonwealth's capitol for the last few years -- when the event marched under the banner of the National Folk Festival. But I heard from several sources that the whole thing was fun and well run. Read more about the festival here.
