Aesthetic Anarchy: Weekend Playlist by J Roddy Walston & The Business

by | Oct 12, 2018 | MUSIC

Every Friday night, RVA Mag drops one scorcher of a playlist curated by influential artists, musicians, and institutions.

This weekend as you jam through the post-storm nighttime gloom, follow the boozy, bluesy rock n’ roll of J Roddy Walston & The Business on a musical masquerade that will bond your sub-conscious to a sonic highway of interstellar excess: perfect for all the high and low drama of a dangerously-fall weekend.

Be sure to check out J Roddy at the Broadberry on November 23 with Piranha Rama and on the 24th with Illiterate Light.

Get yer dancing shoes on, Virginia.

Opinion | Richmond, We Don’t Need Another Love Song

Music has always been a mirror. It tells us who we are, what we value, and, sometimes, what we’re too afraid to face. But if music is supposed to reflect the world around us, then what does it say that so much of today’s mainstream music says… nothing at all? Richmond...
