The Listening Room vol. III

The first Listening Room of the new year. An heart aching January evening of songs sung by songwriters. This volume was curated to both showcase three of Richmond's finest, and for me, to hearken back to the salad days of the grassroots Besty's Coffeeshop shows, of which both Josh and Liza are veterans. Thank Yous to the performers and my dear friends: Josh Small Liza Kate and David Shultz to Christina for the posters and programs. to The Listening Room crew, of course. to Dave Watkins for run… Continue

The Listening Room vol. II

Our sincere thanks goes out to all of those who made it to the show last night--performers and listeners alike. Although the snow made travel difficult, it was a nice touch and added to the overall wintery mix. We hope everyone made it home safe and sound. For those who couldn't make it, we were able to make a few audio recordings of the show. Along with photographs, a song from each set will be posted on the Richmond Scene in the next couple weeks. Unfortunately, there aren't any leftover suga… Continue

TRS Reviews The Fire Next Time by Jonathan Vassar and the Speckled Bird

Prior to the release of The Fire Next Time, Jonathan Vassar was simply a student of the folk genre.

With this new EP, Vassar is playing by his own set of rules and the resulting songs are epic in tone. The Fire Next… Continue
