This episode was originally broadcast on WRIR's local music show (one of them anyway) River CIty Limits, which runs every Saturday evening at 5 and hosted by a revolving line-up of DJs.  This episode of RCL features new music from Bucket, Cream Dream, Jonathan Vassar, DUST~, McKinley Dixon, Crucial Rip, Horsehead and Honest Debts and more local music that's not as new.  It also features a single by Deau Eyes, the recent winner of the Newlin Prize for Richmond area music.  

Much of the music played on River City Limits and the Studio B RVA podcast can be found on my Bandcamp page.  As much of the music as possible played on both shows is purchased.

Doug Nunally runs the online Richmond-area music magazine The Auricular and has spearheaded the creation of the new Newlin Music Prize,  "an award given to the best full-length album from the Richmond-Petersburg, VA metropolitan area based solely on artistic merit without regard to style or popularity.

Named after musical prodigy, VCU professor, and performer Dika Newlin (1923-2006), the prize launched in 2022 to award its first ever award for albums released in the previous calendar year. The winner will receive a $1,000 cash prize in the hope of fostering future recordings and performances."

Ink To Spill is what has been described as a "virtual band", with songwriter Bob Sauer living in the Tidewater area of Virginia and the rest of the band spread out around the country including areas such as Seattle and Chicago.  But they all come together to make music.  And they work with the RVA-based Marketing Mixtape .  Bob talks about getting the band together, dealing with the pandemic when they were already something of a virtual band separated by geography, inspiration and the creative process.  Also hear Ink To Spill songs Hyd'n (latest single), Lenny  and Chalk Lines
