October 7, 2015 by Erin O'Hare
Jimmy Bullis feels pretty good about what The Anatomy of Frank is doing as a band.

Tuning In with Hicham Benhallam
September 18, 2015 by Erin O'Hare
When Hicham Benhallam knows he’s sketched out a good song, he gets excited. So excited that he paces around his house for 20 minutes or more, listening to the song through all the speakers. “It’s cathartic,” he says. “I sleep so well those nights.” Songwriting isn’t easy for Benhallam, vocalist and main writer for Charlottesville’s Post […]
Tuning In with Corrigan Blanchfield
August 20, 2015 by Erin O'Hare
WTJU DJ Corrigan Blanchfield remembers quite well his first time on air.

July 9, 2015 by Erin O'Hare
This week, we’re tuning in with a few of the DJs for U.Va.’s newest radio station, WXTJ. The station is student-run and follows a free-form format, so there’s no rotation of songs that DJs must play.

Charlottesville native John Nolan is passionate about bringing good music—and a variety of it—to town. “I started scratching the surface of what was going on musically in this town right when I started college,” says Nolan. He remembers going to the Clipse show that U.Va.’s Student Hip-Hop Organization (S.H.H.O.) organized at the Jefferson, “and being […]

Tuning In with Y’ALL
April 16, 2015 by Erin O'Hare
Tonight, Y’ALL reunites for one night only at The Southern in support of rocking lady band Ex Hex. “We are rearing our psychedelic head again for this special, yet arbitrary event, and hope to put smiles on everyone’s collective face,” says Y’ALL guitarist and songwriter Adam Wolcott Smith. It’s going to be awesome. You can’t […]
Tuning In with Grits n’ Gravy
March 26, 2015 by Erin O'Hare
One Saturday night this past February, a line formed outside the door of Richmond’s Balliceaux. The venue was hosting a Grits n’ Gravy dance party, and people were eager to get in and dance to the funk and soul that poured through the sound system, a series of old school singles spun by one of […]
