The Women’s Resource Center of the New River Valley (WRCNRV) Inclusion Council will host a day of joy, connection, and celebration at the Annual WRCNRV Pride Picnic on Friday, June 20, 2025 at Shelter #1 at Bisset Park in Radford, VA.
This is a free, all ages community event honoring Pride Month, Juneteenth, and National Safety Month. This community gathering will feature a PB&J bar, snacks, crafts, games, face painting, and local musician Ash Devine will perform an acoustic set from 2:00–4:00 PM.
Ash Devine is an accomplished songwriter, ukulele and guitar player, performance artist, educator, and community-based arts facilitator whose work is influenced by her upbringing in the Blue Ridge mountains, and by her international travels to perform in health care facilities with Patch Adams M.D. Devine is known as a true ‘folk troubadour’ because she writes, collects, and performs cross genre music based on numerous folk traditions including original Americana & indie-folk-rock, traditional Appalachian old time, contemporary folk, country blues, historic bluegrass, folk revival, classic rock, and international folk music. Ash has self produced two albums of original music, and is working on two more, including a traditional Appalachian and folk legacy compilation.
Born and raised in the Blue Ridge mountains of Virginia, Ash lived for over 17 years in the Western North Carolina region where she developed her studies of Appalachian music traditions.
