Ride The Wave: Weekend Playlist by Big Something

by | Jan 25, 2019 | MUSIC

Every Friday night, RVA Mag drops a ridiculously amazing playlist curated by influential artists, musicians, and institutions.

This week, we receive a potent musical dispatch from Big Something, the North Carolina alt-rock group with strong enough ties to Richmond to have released a live album recorded at The Broadberry. This weekend finds the group returning to The Broadberry for their first-ever two-night stand here in Richmond, which promises to liven up the weekend for the entire town.

But in the meantime, we’ve got a set of incredible music that truly shows off this band’s eclectic tastes and wide-ranging influences. From jazz to hip-hop to the kind of rockin’ they’ve led us to expect, Big Something previews the live performances they’ve got on tap for tonight and tomorrow with what amounts to an excellent DJ set you can jam while you get prepped for the gig.

Check it out, Virginia! And grab your tickets to see Big Something tonight or tomorrow (or both!) at .
