Richmond native and multiple Grammy-winning singer-songwriter Lucy Dacus<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0released the self-directed music video for her latest single \u201cPlanting Tomatoes<\/strong><\/a>\u201d and every frame was filmed here at home. The video moves through some of the city\u2019s most recognizable places, including Dogwood Dell, Hollywood Cemetery, and Pony Pasture in the James River Park System, alongside appearances from friends, family, students from SPARC and fellow Richmond musicians Deau Eyes<\/a><\/strong>, Holy River<\/a><\/strong>, and Justin Golden<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n Rather than telling a straightforward story, the video drifts through familiar spaces while playing with time and memory, matching the song\u2019s meditation on staying present and appreciating the people around us.<\/p>\n The production stayed local, too. Richmond-based SpangTV<\/strong><\/a> teamed up once again with creative director Jordan Rodericks and cinematographer David Muessig, who also worked on Dacus\u2019 \u201cHot & Heavy\u201d video<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n Fans will get a chance to see the video on the big screen when The Byrd Theatre hosts a special screening on July 30, followed by a conversation with Dacus moderated by SPARC Senior Faculty member Paul Major. The event is already sold out, though a waitlist is available HERE<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n Watch it here.<\/p>\n
