Love on TAP: A Benefit for Virginia Pride

An anniversary is the celebration of an ongoing story. Today, we celebrate the stories of all LGBT Americans who resiliently marched through inequality and found common ground on the foundations of love and equity. One year ago, the Supreme Court recognized equal marriage rights for all, and with that momentum we continue the journey into a world where identity is not a point of contention but of inclusion. The one year anniversary of marriage equality in America is our opportunity to honor the past, rejoice in the present and continue to write love into our future. Jackson from Q94 Richmond will join us as Emcee, with a special kick off performance from Richmond's own Bleu Devereaux! This event is FREE and open to all ages! The tasting room opens at 12pm; the celebration begins at 2pm! FEATURING gourmet food vendors, photo booth and live music: Trunk Show Band [2:50PM] Best known for the Cover to Cover series at Hardywood, presenting a Mix Tape of greatest hits from They Might Be Giants, Green Day, The Killers, Amy Winehouse, Fleetwood Mac, Heart, Paul Simon and David Bowie! My Darling Fury [4:05PM] indie pop trio with an affinity for complex rhythmic structures, operatic-sized dramatics, and chamber music intimacy www.mydarlingfury.com Toxic Moxie [5:05PM] Born from the vision of the present day as depicted in 1980s film, Toxic Moxie is influenced by the hours of 1-4 AM, general glam, and Groundhog Day. Tearing their way up and down the east coast in their rusty blue conversion van, these Richmond heartthrobs have been winning over diverse audiences of punx, hippies, EDM kids and everyone in between with their instantly accessible brand of Dirty Disco Punk. But take a moment to reflect on the substance found on their three EP series, and one finds a much deeper well of inspiration that draws from progressive politics and social issues in a context larger than the houses, bars, and clubs that they turn into delirious debauchery.
