Space Age: Weekend Playlist by The Big Payback’s Kelli Strawbridge

by | Nov 30, 2018 | MUSIC

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

This week, we’re bringing you a collection of jams spanning all genres, courtesy of Kelli Strawbridge. Chances are, no matter what corner of the Richmond musical world you’re tapped into, you know Kelli’s work. From his powerful beats behind the trap kit for Mikrowaves, Mekong Xpress & the Get Fresh Horns, Prabir Trio, and more to his star turns at the front of The Big Payback, Richmond’s premier James Brown tribute act, his work as the creative mastermind behind the funk-soul brilliance of KINGS, and his work as cohost of the Hustle Season Podcast… well, suffice it to say, the man gets around. And so does his playlist, which will take us into December with some smooth tuneage to get your head nodding.

Get funky, Virginia.
