Sounds of Summer

From budding artists to Grammy winners, our local music scene is a mesh of genres and talents that rivals that of any midsized metro area. This summer, Richmonders will have even more opportunities to sway when the Allianz Amphitheater at Riverfront debuts this June and casual, post-workday shows return to Glen Allen with the reinstatement of After Hours Concerts at Innsbrook.

Around this time last year, Tyler Meacham played a show that cut to her core. The Richmond-based singer-songwriter had traveled to Asheville, North Carolina, on what she thought would be a low-key getaway just a few weeks after losing multiple members of her family. A long drive, a Tuesday evening show — “It’ll be fine,” she thought.
Time For Some Gaming

Jan 10, 2025 | canyon-news.com | Davy Jones

UNITED STATES—I will admit the gaming experience feels a bit more different being older than when I was a youngster. I don’t game as much as I did as a kid, but whenever I do get a free moment, if I have it, I try to game a bit because it is an escape for me. When it comes to gaming, I’m an old school gamer. I’m not a big fan of the immersive, visually stunning gaming technology that dominates the industry nowadays. For me it has to be the Super Nintendo (SNES).

UNITED STATES—I will admit this past Sunday was a chore because on one TV screen I was watching NFL football, on the other screen I was watching the Golden Globes. Notably, I was watching the BIG GAME and I mean BIG GAME between the Detroit Lions and the Minnesota Vikings. Why was this important? Both teams were 14-2 and whoever won the game would hold the NFC #1 seed, get a Bye Week and have home field advantage during the playoffs.

Flower Power

Richmond-based bolero group Miramar is as closely knit as any trio you’ll find. Vocalists Rei Álvarez and Laura Ann Singh harmonize with so much precision and grace that it’s hard to imagine there was ever a day when they didn’t sing together. Álvarez and band-leading keyboardist, Marlysse Rose Simmons-Argandoña, finish each other’s compositional sentences as partners in songwriting and arranging, as well as partners in married life.

Worth Knowing, Worth Going offers a spotlight on emerging artists poised to make waves in and around Richmond. This time we spoke with Cloud M, a.k.a. Cloud Meyers, a pillar of the local vinyl collecting community thanks to his day job at Deep Groove Records. When he’s not slinging wax, the 2014 graduate of Mills E. Godwin High School is recording thoughtfully layered instrumental explorations.
Christmas Movie Season Mania!

Dec 5, 2024 | canyon-news.com | Davy Jones

UNITED STATES—It is that time of year, and in 2024, it seems like the plethora of Christmas is not just on the Hallmark channel America. Netflix and a few other streaming services have gotten in on the game and they’re releasing their Christmas tales of love to the public as well. Hell, Netflix is even going the route of a steamy version of Santa and his elves, wink wink.
Spinning Season’s Cheer

It’s beginning to sound a lot like Christmas, thanks to a new album compiling holiday recordings by Virginia artists. “Xmas in VA” is the latest release from 12/23 Records, which was founded as part of the Nancy Langhorne Foundation’s mission to harness the season’s spirit of giving to raise funds for cancer research and screenings.

UNITED STATES—It is almost here. In less than a week, Thanksgiving will be fast upon us and the stress starts to kick into full gear and it may not be as great as you want it to be. However, breathe, take a moment and all will be ok. You should have your menu together by this point, and if you haven’t started to pick up your items needed for the big feast, this is the week to do it.
