Some of Richmond’s finest musicians will bring their acts together for the first time on stage at Dominion Arts Center next month.
Matthew E. White, Natalie Prass Tim Barry, Bio Ritmo, and Clair Morgan will headline RVA Live! a showcase put on by The Broadberry and Richmond Symphony designed to incorporate the musical arts of all genres and styles that represent our city’s diverse range of talent.
Orchestrations and arrangements by Trey Pollard (Spacebomb) and Marlysse Simmons and Toby Whitaker of Bio Ritmo.
To give you a little taste of what you’ll be getting, check out some info and music from the musicians below ahead of the event.
If you haven’t already, pick up indie rock group Clair Morgan’s New Lions And The Not-Good Night, which came out in May.
Beloved Richmond salsa group Bio Ritmo has entertaining us for over 20 years and they don’t seem to be slowing down anytime soon. There’s a little something for everyone with this band.
Musician and Spacebomb Records founder Matthew E. White last big release was Fresh Blood in 2015, but the local indie label has been steadily churning out solid hits and building its roster with the likes of Natalie Prass, ReSound, Georgie and Beodouine.
Songbird Natalie Prass flew her way into our hearts with her sweet sing “Birds of Prey”, a song off her self-titled debut album which dropped in 2014 via Spacebomb Records. We’ve been hooked ever since.
Many Richmonders know him as the former frontman for Avail, but Tim Barry has been churning out folk tunes solo for years now. RVA Mag last gave you the scoop on the singer/guitarist when he was releasing Lost and Rootless back in 2014, but Barry has a new record called High on 95 that will drop in September so check out the sneak peek below.
RVA Live! will be held at the Carpenter Theatre at Dominion Arts Center on Sat. Sept. 23 at 8 pm. Tickets range from $10 to $80 and can be purchased here.
