Gimme Some Money!

 

It’s time for the Spring Fund Drive show on Handful of Brains (originally aired Tuesday, 4/27/21 7 – 9 PM on WRIR 97.3 FM Richmond Independent Radio)! Please consider donating during tonight’s show at wrir.org. On the big picture level, WRIR brings underrepresented news and music to RVA and the world (via the internet). It allows me to do this crazily eclectic show and the other shows consistently introduce me to great new music. On a personal level, it allows me to indulge my passion for music and has given me a sense of community and friendship here in Richmond. Give what you can and you can check out the fund drive premiums at wrir.org if you want the t-shirt, bandana, tote bag, or Pay It Forward.

On tonight’s eclectic show, I’ve got music from Isobel Campbell & Mark Lanegan, Overcoats, A Place To Bury Strangers, THE OCEAN BLUE, Lucy Dacus, Róisín Murphy. Billy Strings, Gedeon Luke and The People, Jon Batiste, Bob Dylan, Lilly Hiatt, London Grammar, Mike Doughty & more!
