Rising gas\, housing\, utility and health care costs are putting added pressure on family budgets\, and m ore neighbors are finding themselves making impossible choices — like wh ether to fill the gas tank or the pantry\, buy fresh produce or medication \, or pay a utility bill or buy groceries. For many\, that means visiting a food pantry for the first time. \nAnd in Central Virginia\, we estimate that 1 in 9 neighbors experience food insecurity – and of that\, 1 in 6 children in our region don’t know where their next meal will come from. \nAt Feed More\, we’re working every day to ensure families\, children\, seniors and homebound neighbors have access to the nutritious food they n eed. But we can’t do it alone. Hunger Action Month is an opportunity for all of us to help make sure our neighbors can access healthy food for who lesome meals. \nHere are three ways you can take action:\n\nVolunteer: Fro m preparing and packaging food in our Bayard Community Kitchen or deliveri ng our Meals on Wheels\, there is something for everyone at Feed More. Mor ning and afternoon volunteer opportunities are available Monday through Fr iday. Register through our online volunteer portal at: FeedMore.org/volunt eer.\nStart a food drive: Supporters can drop off donations through our Kr oger Community Donation Center or 24/7 in our blue donation bins (8020 Vil la Park Drive\, Richmond\, VA 23228).\nDonate: Your financial support make s all our hunger-fighting programs possible. More than 97% of every gift g oes back into our programs and mission. Donate online here.

In the making of their new album\, Mind\, Man\, Medicine\, Alabama-bred siblings Laura Rogers and Lydia Slagl e found their songwriting transformed by a newfound sense of self-reliance and equanimity\, threading their lyrics with hard-won insight into the co mplexities of motherhood\, commitment\, compassion\, and self-preservation in an endlessly chaotic world. Centered on a kaleidoscopic sound that bol dly blurs the edges of country-folk\, the duo’s fifth full-length ultima tely confronts many of modern life’s harshest challenges while leading t he listener toward a more open-hearted state of mind. \n“In our previous records there was a feeling that we had something to prove\, but now we ’re leaning toward a place of peaceful acceptance and trying to stay imm ersed in the present\,” says Slagle\, noting that their shared experienc e in parenting young children greatly informed that shift in perspective. “There are definitely still moments of frustration and anger on this alb um\, but there’s also a little more light\,” Rogers adds. “I think a lot of that came from getting older\, and from letting go of the pressure we put on ourselves in the past. We finally reached the point of saying\, ‘Let’s just write the songs honestly as we can\, and trust that they ’ll reach whoever they’re meant to reach.’” \nThe follow-up to Sat urn Return—their 2020 Grammy-nominated LP co-produced by Brandi Carlile and lavishly praised by the likes of Rolling Stone—Mind\, Man\, Medicine finds The Secret Sisters co-producing alongside Ben Tanner (Alabama Shake s\, St. Paul & the Broken Bones) and John Paul White (formerly of Grammy-w inning duo the Civil Wars). “On Saturn Return we’d gotten much more co nfident as far as directing the sound of the record and knowing how to cap ture our voices in the most honest way\, so it felt like the right time fo r our first foray into production\,” says Rogers. \nThe latest in a seri es of critically lauded releases\, the album came to life at FAME Studios (the historic spot in their hometown of Muscle Shoals) and at Sun Drop Sou nd in nearby Florence\, with contributions from such esteemed musicians as Alabama Shakes bassist Zac Cockrell and legendary multi-instrumentalist L arry Campbell (Paul Simon\, Willie Nelson\, Levon Helm). \nReferring to Th e Secret Sisters’ latest chapter as “one where we seek\, savor\, and s ettle\,” the duo lifted the title to Mind\, Man\, Medicine from a lyric in “Same Water”: a gorgeously bluesy meditation on the search for heal ing in a profoundly troubled world\, channeling both weariness and empathy with soulful conviction. “There’s a line in ‘Same Water’ that say s ‘Mind or man or medicine/I have tried them all\,’ which feels like i t encompasses everything we were trying to say on this record\,” Slagle explains. “In a lot of these songs we’re struggling with our own minds and emotions\, with our relationships\, and with whatever we’re using t o try to cope and find relief.” \nIn a lovely introduction to the album ’s expansive sound\, Mind\, Man\, Medicine opens on a hypnotic number ca lled “Space.” With its stark yet sprawling arrangement of luminous pia no\, otherworldly synth\, and moody guitar tones—achieved in part throug h Slagle’s performance on rubber bridge guitar—“Space” infuses an element of dreamy psychedelia into The Secret Sisters’ contemplation of human connection and all its intricacies. “It’s about recognizing that loving someone isn’t always going to be easy\, especially when they hav e a belief or a political leaning that you disagree with\,” says Rogers. “It’s so simple to project your desires onto someone else\, but in th e end you have to hold onto what you love and value about them\, even when it gets tough.” \nIn its lived-in exploration of what holds us together and tears us apart\, Mind\, Man\, Medicine delves further into nuanced so cial commentary on “If the World Was a House.” “We’ve all heard ab out moments in history where people collectively experienced something ver y challenging\, but ended up coming out of it stronger\,” says Rogers. “When I look at the world around us\, it seems like the pandemic didn’ t have that effect—if anything\, it feels like we’re even more divided now. That song is wrestling with a longing for everyone to take better ca re of each other\, and to recognize that every person you share the planet with matters just as much as you do.” \nAstute observers of the heart ’s most intimate dimensions\, The Secret Sisters also offer up such wild ly effusive love songs as “Paperweight”—a prime showcase for their d eep-rooted country sensibilities\, graced with galloping rhythms and a bit of exquisitely nimble fiddle work from Campbell. “I tend to go with the flow in a way that can be unhealthy\, where I sometimes hold back from sp eaking up for myself because I don’t want to ruffle any feathers\,” sa ys Slagle. “But one thing that’s always made everything feel solid and stable is my relationship with my husband\, so I wrote ‘Paperweight’ about having that person who keeps you grounded when you feel like you mig ht just float away.” Meanwhile\, on “All The Ways\,” singer/songwrit er Ray LaMontagne lends his raspy vocals to a slow-burning track touched w ith all the sublime simplicity and low-slung grooves of classic R&B. “I love those moments in a live show when everyone sings together and there ’s a feeling of the artist and audience sharing in the song’s performa nce\,” says Rogers. “I wanted to create a chorus like that—something everyone can sing at the top of their lungs—and eventually it evolved i nto a song about feeling strong and powerful in your own femininity.” \n Elsewhere on Mind\, Man\, Medicine\, The Secret Sisters bring their layere d introspection and boundless sensitivity to such complicated subjects as fractured friendships (“Never Walk Away”)\, the interconnectedness of love and advocacy (“I’ve Got Your Back”)\, the loss of identity ofte n experienced in the early stages of motherhood (“Bear With Me”)\, and the singular joy of truly conditional love (“I Can Never Be Without You Anymore”). “Through our experience in raising children\, Lydia and I have both had the realization that there’s nowhere we could go on this e ntire planet where our hearts won’t be with our kids\,” says Rogers in discussing the inspiration behind “I Can Never Be Without You Anymore. ” “That can be a difficult reality at times\, but it’s glorious as w ell. I’m really proud of that one\, and of the fact that we were able to write a love song that comes from a less painful place than many of our l ove songs in the past.” \nLooking back on the creation of Mind\, Man\, M edicine\, The Secret Sisters reveal that the immense support of their fans played a major role in their willingness to tread previously uncharted em otional terrain. “I remember playing a show last fall and expressing my gratitude to the crowd that they’d come out to see us\, because as mothe rs of young children we now understand how challenging that can be\,” sa ys Rogers. “Later on that night a woman came up to us with her daughter and husband and said something like\, ‘I know it’s so hard to leave yo ur babies—but you leaving your babies at home for a little while is what makes moments like this happen for other families.’ It was so gratifyin g to hear that\, and reminded me of the whole purpose behind the music tha t we make: it’s to benefit the hearts of other people\, anyone who needs that healing or validation or connection\, or even just the space to cry. That’s why we keep doing this.” LAST-MODIFIED:20260918T000458Z LOCATION:The Tin Pan\, 8982 Quioccasin Road\, Richmond\, VA 23229\, USA\, RICHMOND\, VA\, 23227\, United States URL:https://www.styleweekly.com/event/the-secret-sisters-at-the-tin-pan-2/ ?utm_source=caldiscovery&utm_medium=ics&utm_campaign=richmond-va X-SOURCE-NAME:Style Weekly X-SOURCE-URL:https://www.styleweekly.com/events END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT SUMMARY:TROPICAL THURSDAY at HAVANA '59 DTSTART:20260918T000000Z DTEND:20260918T040000Z DTSTAMP:20260918T000458Z UID:10000566-1789675200-1789689600@www.styleweekly.com CATEGORIES:community DESCRIPTION:The Hottest Latin Party in town\, just keeps getting hotter. \nJoin the TROPICAL THURSDAY team at Havana ’59 Every Thursday for the h ottest Salsa\, Merengue\, Bachata and more. \nWith hottest Latin DJs on r otation and free dance class before the party starts\, you are bound to ha ve a great time with us.
