WRIR's River City Limits 4-1-23, Jay Smack Host
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 - Newlin Prize
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."
