We love the Richmond music scene — so we made a collaborative playlist for locals, by locals.

In this playlist, you will be able to add your own go-to tracks. We’ve added a few personal favorites to help you get started. Here’s a few local jams:

  • VBS” by Lucy Dacus | She’s coming back to Richmond to play a Brown’s Island show with Courtney Barnett + Samia in July.
  • Lady” by D’Angelo | Neo soul from a Richmond legend.
  • Virginia, The Home Of My Heart” by Susan Greenbaum | The singer-songwriter performed at The Richmond Forum last month.
  • Thriving” by Diet Cig | They wrote their 2017 album, “Do You Wonder About Me?” after moving to Richmond.
  • Don’t Ask Me” by Kenneka Cook + Infinitefreefall | Beat-driven sonics + melodic jazz.
  • make a poet Black” by McKinley Dixon | He won the Newlin Music Prize for his 2021 album, “For My Mama And Anyone Who Look Like Her.”

Now it’s your turn. Create a free Spotify account (if you haven’t already), open the collaborative playlist, add the playlist to your library, and add songs that make you think of Richmond – whether that be the city in general, a person or relationship, songs by local artists, or just a great memory.
