As we dive into the 20-year journey of RVA Magazine, it made sense to document it somehow -- so I started this laid back, insightful, and hopefully entertaining, podcast series. It's a chance for me to catch up with old friends who've shaped the magazine from the start, sharing laughs and stories about the unexpected paths we've navigated along the way. Kicking off the series is none other than S. Preston Duncan, a close buddy and a steadfast contributor, who's now making waves as a celebrated poet on the international stage, with works featured in renowned literary publications globally. We sat down and took it from the top, reminiscing and exploring his journey. And speaking of journeys, here's a shoutout to Preston's upcoming book, "Blood Alluvium," hitting the shelves this September courtesy of Parlyaree Press. Curious about more of Preston’s poetic adventures? Swing by his collection at https://lnk.bio/Sprestonduncan to get the full scoop. -- R. Anthony Harris RVA Magazine publisher & creator

Back in October, we had the unique opportunity to record Chandler Matkins, known simply as Chandler, during his performance at The Camel in Richmond, VA. What unfolded was an electrifying set brimming with hip-hop anthems, characterized by Chandler's robust wordplay that seamlessly blends self-deprecating humor with a dose of confidence. At first glance, Chandler, with his fiery red beard and bald head, might not fit the traditional mold of a rising rap star. His background as a comedian and a drummer in a Southern roots rock band paints a diverse picture. However, it's precisely this unconventional mix that makes his rise in Richmond's rap scene so intriguing and enjoyable. Chandler's music – a combination of hard-hitting beats, intelligent lyrics, and a touch of humor – resonates widely, evidenced by his impressive following of over 650K on TikTok globally. His journey from Hampton to Richmond, a detour through Brooklyn, and back to Richmond again showcases his adaptability and appeal. The same audience that catapulted him to online fame is now flocking to his live shows, eager to experience the unique energy and style that Chandler brings to the hip-hop world.

Nestled in the serene landscape of Buckingham, VA, Yurtantanda is a breathtaking property that offers stunning views of The Mighty James River and the Blue Ridge Mountains' foothills. Since 2000, this picturesque location has been the vacation retreat of renowned yogi practitioner Haris Harini Lender, and it now also serves as a quaint, intimate music venue. This setting provides an idyllic backdrop for the music of Holy River, a unique band hailing from Richmond, VA. In a recent collaboration with Chickenwire Guesthouse, we captured an enchanting double set by Holy River. Known for their blend of freak-folk with punk roots, Holy River's music is a meditative journey of trance-like, drone-based sounds. Their lyrics, deeply embedded in themes of nature preservation and personal spiritual growth, evoke a profound connection with the environment. The band's sound, reminiscent of Appalachian melodies, could also seamlessly complement a Scandinavian Midsommar celebration, stirring listeners with a compelling urge to dance around a Maypole. The group's distinctive sound is shaped by Price's mastery of acoustic and fretted string instruments, while Sullivan's harmonium provides the foundational drone and chord progressions, creating a mesmerizing auditory experience.

In a momentous farewell to their Richmond roots, local hip-hop sensation Kidz At Play staged an unforgettable final performance in the backyard of an Oregon Hill residence, a charming neighborhood nestled in Richmond, VA. This iconic show in July 2023 was not just a concert but a celebration of their landmark signing with AWAL, a label under the Sony banner. The house rocked with high energy as the Kidz delivered a memorable performance, showcasing the electrifying music that catapulted them to the next level. Our previous coverage in June highlighted the remarkable journey of Kidz At Play, an 11-member collective originating from a tight-knit group of high school friends in Richmond. Their recent signing with AWAL, a Sony-affiliated label known for representing diverse talents such as Little Simz, JPEGMAFIA, and Deadmau5, marks a significant milestone. This multi-album deal, which allows the group to retain full creative control, is a testament to their growing influence in the music industry. Spearheaded by founder SMYTH, Kidz At Play gained widespread attention with a viral TikTok single in June 2022. Jacob Parra Mena, a Director of the group, reflects on their journey: "We started to be like, yo, let’s take it seriously." Though comprised of only three musicians, the collective's eclectic sound is a fusion of varied influences and personal narratives, making their music uniquely resonant.

Back in March, we captured the finale of Rikki Rakki's four-week residency at The Camel, a well-known venue in Richmond, VA. This unforgettable performance in March set the stage for the much-anticipated release of their debut studio album, "Breaking Skin," which arrived in June. We invite you to enjoy this recording and continue supporting live, local music. Our June interview with Rikki Rakki delved into their first studio album, "Breaking Skin." Originating from Richmond, Virginia, this rock band has crafted a unique blend of profound lyrics and innovative sounds. The album, a product of lead songwriter Erika Blatnik's years of reflective exploration, offers a "stargazy" sound that captures both nocturnal ambience and intimate life stories. More than just a collection of songs, "Breaking Skin" serves as a personal chronicle of Blatnik's journey. Special thanks to John W Stuart ‘Stu’ Gilchrist III for recording this set.
