RVA Magazine Presents: Radio Rubber Room feat. SOUNDSTORM

by | Dec 15, 2011 | POLITICS

This episode marks the first official week for Radio Rubber Room assimilation into the Richmond Media conglomerate that is RVA Magazine. This week also found the hosts knee deep in the talent and youthful energy that is Soundstorm. Soundstorm is a six piece band that consists of Dean Pollard (Trumpet), Gabriel Santamaria (Bass), Nelson Rich (Sax), Nick Andre (Keys), Neko Williams (Drums) and Brittany O’Neill (Vocals). Though the six piece barely has 120 years of combined experience, most members are the product of musical parents, and it shows. Awestruck by the set of pipes on Brittany, amazingly the guys where able to maintain a minimal sense of professionalism long enough to carry on a relatively informative conversation. Listen to this episode and find out which member’s goal is to be crowned king of RVA, who aspires to become the Southeast Asian version of Kenny G, and what member is the child of someone from The Wailers.
