My brother Dickie's spirit of altruism was of making the most important things in life accessible to all. Good music, hot food, and freedom to be who you are were things he advocated for daily, even if it came at a price or great sacrifice.

The Great Busk" is a one-day live music competition and fundraising event happening on June 6th in Richmond's Arts District, near Gallery 5. It's a busking competition where musicians of all styles can perform, collect donations via QR codes, and support local nonprofits.

After a ten-year hiatus, The Great Busk returns to Richmond for a powerful celebration of roots music, visual art, and immigrant creativity.

I'll be offering astrology and tarot sessions with the amazing Mr. Yin by my side to raise money for a new initiative my Mom Ann Richardson has in the works to continue Dickie's spirit of giving back.

At the heart of The Great Busk is a community-centered street music competition, where performers from all backgrounds compete for four hours of professional recording time and a spot on the main stage. But this event is more than just a concert—it’s a revival of community spirit and creative expression.

Dickie would have loved this and will definitely be there in spirit! Come out and look for my tent for good times, music, people, and magic.
