Show goes on (and does well)
Sherman Holmes, 68, suffered a severe asthma attack prior to the Holmes Brothers’ appearance as the final act on the Ukrop’s/First Market Stage last night. He was taken to the VCU Hospital for observation, but was in good condition as of the time of this writing.

“We were blessed with great weather tonight,” Sims said.
Last year, temperatures were quite a bit colder. The first year of the festival, it was raining.


“We’re so happy to be back at this festival. We have great memories of this place,” said Pastelle LeBlanc. “It’s great to be a part of the lineup with other great bands. It’s inspiring as well to have Acadian music share the stage alongside all the other types of folk music.”


“There was a great vibe going,” Smith said. “If I had shown up with the flu, I would have been cured by the end. There was a lot of positive energy from the crowd.”

Susie, a young mother, was energetically dancing with her daughter while Grupo Fantasma played. Her husband and another daughter were enjoying another band at the time. She said she was enjoying herself. When asked why, she said, “Music. All the music.”

“People from all over are coming and enjoying Richmond,” he said.
The music wasn’t the only thing of interest.
Aurora, a visitor from Texas, was busy taking photographs of some of the exhibits at Tredagar as the evening was winding down.
“I’ve never been here before,” she said. “The American history here is fascinating.”
