Victor Wooten is scheduled to perform at Maymont Park in Richmond, Virginia on August 8, 2026. Wooten is a highly acclaimed American bassist, composer, and recording artist known for his innovative and virtuosic approach to the instrument. His musical style blends elements of jazz, funk, soul, gospel, and bluegrass, often characterized by complex rhythmic patterns, melodic improvisation, and a distinctive slapping and tapping technique. He frequently incorporates storytelling and philosophical themes into his performances.

Maymont is a 100-acre Victorian estate gifted to the city of Richmond in 1925 by James H. Dooley and his wife Sallie May Dooley. Originally their private residence, it has been maintained as a public park since that time. The estate includes a historic mansion, formal gardens inspired by Italian and Japanese designs, a nature center showcasing Virginia’s native wildlife, and walking trails throughout the property. The grounds reflect the Dooleys’ interests in horticulture, art collecting, and natural history. The park regularly hosts events; however outdoor concerts are not a frequent occurrence due to its historical preservation status and residential surroundings.
