Activate!Activate! December 18 – December 25

Not everyone is hibernating for the holidays. In fact, I have a stocking full of live music happening in Richmond this week, starting at 7pm! I'll be sure to include tracks from Evan McKeel and Jordan Tarrant, both of whom are celebrating new albums, Zac Hryciak and the Jungle Beat who are playing one of the final shows at The Well, and a live set from Murphy's Kids who are hosting the WRIR benefit Happy Skalidays!
