Spring Fund Drive, Thursday, May 5

Food, live music, friends and neighbors visting.  It may seem like we're just throwing a big party for our fund drive.  However, our fund drives are serious fun.

Listener donations provide the vast majority of funding for the station.  They give us the money to provide great programming as well as funding day to day expenses like rent and utilities.  Listener support is essential for WRIR in the most literal sense.  So please either call 804-822-9747, visit us at 1621 West Broad Street or donate online.

Special Guests and Performances

• Cause and Effect will feature Alex DiMattesa of Grave Mistake records (as well as Government Warning, Wasted Time) and his playlist of influences and favorites.

• This Modern Beat will have a live performance by rapper Islam.
