Day of the Dead All-Stars celebrate 10 years of performing the Grateful Dead in Charlottesville

CHARLOTTESVILLE, VA (CVILLE RIGHT NOW) – Sunday at the Southern Café and Music Hall a collective of local musicians will join together for the 10th straight year for an annual Halloween show celebrating the music of the Grateful Dead. For a decade now, the Day of the Dead All-Stars have been joining together for a performance that seeks to keep the spirit of the eclectic rock group formed in the 1960s. For guitarist Eric Cope, the group brings together musicians from across the area all in the pursuit of staying true to the songs while adding their own flair. “We strive to perform these songs which I think are this very beloved songbook, one of the greatest American songbooks that there is, and kind of play it with our own voices and stay true to the, exploratory, spirit of freedom of the Grateful Dead,” he said.

Give & Take Coffee brings inventive flavors to Charlottesville's coffee scene

Charlottesville has no shortage of coffee shops, and I have found a few staples that I will always return to. At most spots, I stick to my classic iced almond milk latte, because I am picky when it comes to coffee syrups and most of the store-bought brands I see at coffee shops overpower the taste of the drinks themselves. Yet, there is nothing better than a housemade syrup, with handcrafted flavors that pair perfectly with espresso and milk. When a friend told me about Give & Take Coffee’s impressive flavor offerings, I knew it was a spot I had to try.
