Sounds Of RVA Presents: On The Horizon #10
This week a former aquaintance of mine passed away. He was a very talented guitarist and had so much potential to do something pretty great. He had a shed in his parents' backyard where he grew up "shedding" for real. At 28, he was taken too soon, but his passing can truly remind us to take that chance. Take a moment and create a lasting product, something that the world needs to hear.

What is it about a rainy Spring afternoon or evening that makes composition and writing flow so naturally? Sure, rain can kill attendance at what would otherwise be a rager of a show. But rain is ultimately some pretty righteous inspiration. It looks like the mood has hit Richmond musicians in all kinds of genres, because so much music is being pumped out right now.

RVA No. 8: Record Reviews
Record Reviews by Damaged Andy (DA) and Andrew Necci (AN)
Brother Bill - Brother Bill (self-released)
This melodic rock album has a familiar gravitas I find comforting. With bluegrass-like vocal harmonies and traveling guitar rhythms, this Warrenton, VA four-piece creates cozy background music great for car trips long and short. Their sound is uptempo, so if that’s your thing, you will like Brother Bill’s first album. (DA)
