The Richmond Virginia Music Scene

What's Hot In Richmond Virginia

After many years on the road, and living in dozens of cities across the US, I have been living in Richmond Virginia for over 18 years now. In that time here, I have managed night clubs, booked bands, promoted shows and events, and generally worked in the music industry in any and every capacity I could. Now I do all of that and more in my online world as opposed to being physically in the moment. Surprisingly this does not stop me, nor countless bands from making contact with me from all over the world on a daily basis, therefore I find I can actually sit at my pc, and know everything that is going on in my city and cities the world over. I love this, and I love being in contact with all these bands, venues and music resources everywhere, which enables me to offer and help so many as they travel the road to fame and fortune. Here I will try to aquaint you all with the fabulous music and resources Richmond Va, and it's surrounding areas have to offer. I encourage any and all Richmond area Bands, Venues, and other music sources such as Studios, to add thier links here. This page should be set up so that readers can contribute, so please do. Any links found to be out of context or off topic, will of course be removed. So let us start our tour and journey thru the RVA music scene now!
