TINY HAZARD // "SHARKWHIRL” & “EKON” // 04/22/2017 // @ GOOD DAY RVA HOUSE, RICHMOND, VA

ARTIST INFO: TINY HAZARD

"There aren't a lot of bands like Tiny Hazard floating around these days. Their brand of avant-pop is quite unique and that's certainly also due to the fact that the music they've strived to master is difficult to conceive, let alone perform." - Andrew Strader, The Deli Magazine

BENJAMIN SHEPHERD // "MONEY OR TIME" & “FRIDAY FANTASY” // 09/30/2018 // @ CHURCH HILL OVERLOOK, RICHMOND, VA

ARTIST INFO: BENJAMIN SHEPHERD

"‘Hold the Line,’ [is] a solid collection of eight songs finely aged over the past two years that mark the exponential growth of an artist. Lush arrangements, swanky guitars and hearty vocals flourish in 30 glorious minutes reminiscent of a young John Prine or Neil Young." - Hilary Langford, Style Weekly

MCKINLEY DIXON AND FRIENDS // "THE IMPORTANCE OF SELF-BELIEF" // 07/15/2017 // @ CLARK SPRINGS ELEMENTARY, RICHMOND, VA

ARTIST INFO: MICKINLEY DIXON

"His music harkens back to the jazz-oriented hip-hop of the ’90s, like A Tribe Called Quest and Slum Village, and Dixon employs a full band to accompany his eagle-eyed penchant for observation. Dixon’s style mirrors the hyper-realistic and progressive stylings of literary icons like Toni Morrison and James Baldwin." - Nicholas Coyne, Tidal

ARTIST INFO: SPORT BAR

"When listening to Sports Bar, it’s obvious the band is comfortable existing in several genres; they are comfortable being punk, they are comfortable being electronic. And as they would say, they are comfortable being ‘melancholic party people.’" - Jack Clark, RVA Magazine

ILLITERATE LIGHT // "HERE LIE THE BONES OF MY FAVORITE CAR” // 06/24/2018 // @ CHESTERFIELD AUTO PARTS, RICHMOND, VA

ARTIST INFO: ILLITERATE LIGHT

"Illiterate Light's Jeff Gorman and Jake Cochran used to run an organic farm to pay the bills while they worked on music. When the crops failed, they sold edible weeds under the name Wild Mix. The name could also be applied to their energetic live shows, with the two playing a full band's worth of instruments. Close your eyes and you hear a four or five-piece band. Jeff handles lead vocals, guitar and bass, which he plays on a keyboard with his feet. Jake provides backup vocals and propels the songs from a customized stand-up drum kit. This isn't a gimmick; the music on the duo's self-titled release holds up." - Jon Hart, NPR

DOLL BABY // "PERFECT POSTURE" & "DRIFT" // 04/23/2017 // @ VIRGINIA CENTER COMMONS, RICHMOND, VA

ARTIST INFO: DOLL BABY

"Between guitarist/vocalist Julie Storey’s killer and unique set of pipes on these tracks, and the 90s-esque nostalgic vibe the video gives off with its setting and the grungey, loud garage rock sound from the rest of the band, Good Day RVA’s creation makes me wish I actually had gone out for a shopping trip that day to catch a sneak peek at their live recording." - Amy David, RVA Magazine

THE WIMPS // "NO SHOW BIRD" // 04/02/2017 // @ CROSSFIT RVA, RICHMOND, VA

ARTIST INFO: THE WIMPS

"The Wimps 'No Show Bird' video shoot was my first experience as a member of the Good Day RVA crew. One early Spring morning, with coffee and a backpack full of camera gear, I drove to an unknown pin drop location in Richmond. Any anxieties I had about my 'first day' faded fast as I arrived at Crossfit RVA to a bustling film crew and a band dressed for gym class." - Ashley Travis, Dust Up

SPOOKY COOL // "BLACK WINE" // 05/07/2017 // @ "THE WAREHOUSE" IN MANCHESTER, RICHMOND, VA

ARTIST INFO: SPOOKY COOL

"Imagine if the angular, almost experimental indie-rock group Deerhoof sat down to write a record inspired by lush Beach Boys harmonies and you might get an idea of what to expect." - Shannon Cleary, Style Weekly

ANTIPHONS // "TINY ROOMS" // 04/24/2016 // @ SWANNANOA PALACE, ROCKFISH GAP, VA

ARTIST INFO: ANTIPHONS

"Groan is a blurry-eyed, hands-in-your-pockets homage to early-2010s guitar-driven indie that, in true post-modern fashion, creates just enough distance between the original to warrant examination on its own terms. This is most evident in the stylistic tendencies of each band member." - United Cassettes

RICK FROM PILE // "DOGS" & “RAISED BY GHOSTS” // 12/21/2015 // @ GOOD DAY RVA HOUSE, RICHMOND, VA

ARTIST INFO: PILE

"...the band drew listeners in with glowing details, a nimble sense of timing more often associated with jazz or classical musicians, and a compositional ambition exceeding that of nearly all of their peers, playing to crowds of beery punks in basements across America." - Andy Cush, SPIN

DUMB WAITER // "GREEDY AS FUCK" // 04/10/2016 // @ FOAMHENGE, NATURAL BRIDGE, VA

ARTIST INFO: DUMB WAITER

"What makes Dumb Waiter unique is their obsession with song construction. Each member represents a different pole of musical upbringing, interests and style choices that meet in the middle to form refined chaos." - Audiotree
