Nash Cancels Show for Striking Workers
30 Jul
Summary
- Graham Nash canceled a concert due to worker strikes.
- Workers at Lewis Ginter Botanical Garden are striking for higher wages.
- Nash plans a return to the Richmond area in 2027.
Graham Nash has canceled his upcoming July 31st concert at the Lewis Ginter Botanical Garden in Henrico, Virginia. This decision was made in solidarity with the garden's workers who are currently on strike. Nash stated his disappointment but affirmed his support for the workers' cause.
The unionized workers at the Lewis Ginter Botanical Garden initiated an Unfair Labor Practice charge back in April. Their primary demand in ongoing negotiations is for higher wages. The workers have participated in eight one-day strikes this year, with the most recent occurring on Wednesday.
Ticket holders for the canceled show will be issued full refunds. Nash expressed his appreciation for his audience's loyalty and indicated plans to return to the Richmond-area stage in 2027. His current summer tour includes dates with Emmylou Harris, with his next scheduled performance being in Wilmington, North Carolina.
