Weekend Frequency Vol. 13 | Sunset Headspace, Slow-Burn Soul, Psychic Static Playlist by Marilyn Pham

by | May 30, 2025 | MUSIC, WEEKEND PLAYLIST

Richmond gets it. More than any other city in Virginia. So here’s your Weekend Frequency, a reader-curated playlist, built for the city, by the city. 

This week’s playlist comes from Marilyn Pham.

“Summer is around the corner, which means more trips to the river and late nights on the porch. Here is a perfect set of songs to sit back, crack open a beer, and enjoy who you are right now! I usually play them while sitting outside, cleaning the house, or during late-night talks with friends. These songs have been there for me and have always helped me quiet my mind. I hope they give you a sense of peace, the way they do me.

Come see Marilyn Pham with Erin and the Wildfire at The Camel on June 6th. Get your tickets here.
