Trying to put together a list of shows in Richmond these days is becoming a pretty hard thing to do. The city has gotten really busy, but at least it’s not boring. There are more shows, festivals, DJ nights, and random Tuesday concerts happening in the River City than...
No matter the tastes of music lovers in this city, there is something for everyone this week. An overwhelming amount of pop music will be passing through (and additionally is on my mind as I will talk about later), so I'll be bringing you the information on my favorite pop acts and music that are in town this this week culminating in Nashville...
We dispatched our hometown photographer, CJ Payne, to the heart of the city to capture a snapshot and engage in some casual conversation. Consider it our local twist on the acclaimed Humans of New York series that we hold in high regard. Our aim is to foster a sense of community and encourage our readers to deepen their connections with their...
I had agreed to meet William Keck aka OG ILLA at his newly renovated space on Broad St, which he has dubbed CNTR in the last year—a creative space for creative people. The location is humble enough out front, bearing the marks of its many past iterations, such as the bookstore it once was, but the inside is on its way to becoming one of the most...
For those already hip to electronic dance music, and all it's extreme sub-genres, we know that there aren't that many venues around town hopping on to host your shows. With the addition of Ember Music Hall to the lineup of performance spots in town who have been hosting a few, prospects are looking better, but traditionally there have been few...
I'm really feeling all the r&b and hip hop out in the city these days, and there's enough of it across the spectrum to satisfy anybody with the hint of a craving to check some out. On this week's SOUND CHECK we take a look at Tuesday at The National, where rising superstar Teddy Swims will be blasting his passionate and varied new record just...
We’re a week out from the 12th annual installment of the Richmond International Film Festival. For the general populace, particularly cinephiles, this is a time to plunge headfirst into our shared passion for movies. Think of it as ComiCon for film nerds. If that was all it was, that’d be enough. But it is so much more. For the city, it serves as...
As everyone gets back to the grind, the musicians are on it too playing shows all over town and pumping out new tunes for the public's awaiting ears. Virginia Pride is this weekend, and not only is it going to be a wonderful weekend celebrating a culture and community that makes Richmond so unique, it is also going to be full of parties and...
If you have new tunes, suggestions, or just want to reach out, send an email to Bones@rvamag.com If the constant storms aren't driving you inside, then the temperature fluctuations are. If the environment is going to be driving the citizens of Richmond indoors we might as well catch some music while we're in there, and we've got you covered on...
I found Timmy Danger lounging casually beside a fire pit, drinking a dark beer. It was a Friday afternoon in the dying days of summer, and the man whose last name is "Danger" was looking decidedly docile. He greeted me with a warm smile and a firm handshake wearing standard street clothes in the realm of a button down and jeans. I could not help...
