The Resignators At Broad Appetit

Back when Steve Douglas used to live on China Street, he used to invite neighbors into his kitchen on some evenings to experience wonderful bluegrass concerts. So it’s a mixture of surreal and apropos that Richmonders will get a chance to see Steve play with his ska band and fellow Aussies, The Resignators, at the Broad Appetit festival today. Due to a cancellation on the entertainment schedule, Broad Street merchant Metro Sound has invited The Resignators to fill a 2 pm slot on their stage.
