Springsteen’s latest “Working” wonders
Bruce Springsteen has had a good two years.
In August he wrapped up the final stretch of his worldwide “Magic” tour with the E-Street Band, playing 100 shows for more than two million fans. All told, the 10-month stint grossed over $250 million.
Not long after that, he pledged his support for then Democratic nominee Barack Obama, going on several stops in battleground states to play – free of charge – in front of thousands of fans.
No B.S. Brass alive and well
In their sophomore album, “Alive in Richmond,” the No B.S. Brass Band ventures into a sophisticated territory few bands in Richmond tend to go. Thoughtfully composed, recorded and mastered, the surgical precision of these songs set a bar that seems hard to clear.
Relics of Yoruba
The culture of the West African Yoruba people is gaining notoriety throughout the VCU community through the Anderson Gallery’s “Embodying the Sacred in Yoruba Art,” which is on display through March 1.
The 70-piece exhibit explores the spirituality of the Yoruban culture, including royal objects and shrines ranging in material from colorful beads to wooden pieces.
