RVA MUSIC FEST: The Diamond Center

by | Sep 6, 2011 | COMMUNITY

Coming to Richmond by way of Lubbock, Texas, The Diamond Center bring the influence of the warm, hazy West Texas climate to their music. Their psychedelic epics evoke the feeling of high noon in the desert, while the voice of frontwoman Brandi Price provides the same sort of cooling relief as a strategically located oasis. The Diamond Center have only been in Richmond for a short time, but their impassioned live performances and their most recent release, a 7 inch vinyl single featuring the songs “Caraway” and “20 Twin,” have created quite a buzz around town. The Diamond Center will be performing during the RVA Music Fest on Stage One of the Main Event on Sunday September 11.
