August 2013 Concert Calendar

 August's Global A Go-Go picks:

1. Crossroads Coffee has five of Richmond's finest world music aggregations (all of whom have performed live on Global A Go-Go, incidentally) on their August weekend calendar: My Son The Doctor on Saturday the 3rd, Happy Lucky Combo on Friday the 9th, Rattlemouth (pictured above) on Saturday the 10th, Hotel X on Friday the 16th, and Quatro Na Bossa on Friday the 23rd
2. The Krayolas, a San Antonio-based band that will remind you of the Sir Douglas Quintet and Joe "King" Carrasco & The Crowns, visit the Virginia Museum on Friday August 2 and DC's Tropicalia on Sunday August 4
3. The Richmond Jazz Festival at Maymont has a few international acts on its extensive roster: Cuban trumpeter Arturo Sandoval on Saturday August 10, and Cuban combo Tiempo Libre along with reggae greats The Wailers on Sunday August 11
