River City Limits on WRIR – recent episodes

July 18, 2023 / / 0 Comments

I haven’t posted RCL episodes in a while so here are a few from the last few months.  River City Limits features local artists and bands from Richmond, Virginia.  I usually host the first Saturday of the month and fill other open shifts.  I like to drop in music from nearby sometimes as well so you might hear music from around Virginia, DC, maybe North Carolina as it’s relevant such as when they have new music out or they’re coming to town.  Click the links to see the full playlists posted on WRIR’s website and support local music!  #rvamusic
