Open Mic for a Cause

Daily Grind

Elena, left, and Rod, right, of Weeping Mollys dance during Open Mic for a Cause at the Daily Grind this evening. They also hosted the event which attracted 14 musicians. Proceeds and donations for the evening will go to the Richmond chapter of the American Diabetes Association.

Acts ranged from the traditional music with country slant of Vagrant Moon ...

... to the Christian rap of Zach ...

... the original guitar work and compositions of Keilan ...

... strong vocals by Chuck ...

... and the tight harmonies of 17th & Main.

Elana, left, joined Doc on the drums for an impromptu jam ...

... and Albert wrapped up the evening with some wild Spanish guitar.

Earlier in the day Janine finds a new way of looking at the world.
