The East Virginia Blues: Weekend Playlist by Graham Stone

by | Sep 13, 2019 | MUSIC

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

This week, we bring you a lengthy list of jams from Graham Stone, a Richmond based singer-songwriter whose rollicking style pulls from folk, country, and American roots music. He released his second album, Bad News, earlier this year, and has stayed busy ever since, playing regularly around the Richmond area and across the Mid-Atlantic region. You can catch him at The Camel two Fridays from now on September 27, with fellow local favorites Dalton Dash and Muther Goose.

Until then, this playlist full of country, blues, old-time music and good ol’ rock n’ roll is sure to keep you tapping your feet and help you build up anticipation for Stone’s next live gig. It mixes legends of 20th century Appalachia and the best of the current Americana scene in alongside a variety of talented locals, adding up to hours of fun.

Tap your toes, Virginia.
