Things I Should Have Said: Weekend Playlist by Lefthnd

by | Oct 9, 2020 | MUSIC

Every Friday night, RVA Mag brings you a truly fantabulous playlist curated by Virginia’s most influential artists, musicians, and institutions.

This week, we come to you with a playlist from Lefthnd, the new solo project from Richmond songwriter and producer Scott Lane. You might know Scott from his years as guitarist for The Congress, his production work with local faves Angelica Garcia, Sammi Lanzetta, and Kenneka Cook, or the label he founded, American Paradox, which has released all kinds of great music from Richmond and beyond over the past few years.

It’s American Paradox that brings us Lefthnd’s debut album, Ad Mausoleum, which was released just last week. It features contributions from Richmond leading lights DJ Harrison, Todd Herrington, and Andrew Carper, as well as the whole American Paradox family adding vocals. The result mixes heartland rock vibes with a smooth retro-soul sound and the warm sounds of 70s AM gold. It’s sure to bring positive vibes to your weekend, as will the playlist Lefthnd has created especially for you, the readers of RVA Magazine. Featuring local faves, talented superstars, and a nice taste of what Lefthnd’s new record has to offer, it’s guaranteed to put a smile on your face.

Feel the vibe, Virginia.
