Spring Fund Drive, Friday, May 6

So where does your donation go here at WRIR?  This video of the Atkinson's live on Activate! gives you a good idea.  The microphones, the cables, the soundproofing, the mixing board, even this website – everything that helped bring this performance to the air – are because of listener donations.  The Atkinsons provided the talent; your donations make it possible for them to share this music with the rest of Richmond.

With just a couple of days left, please take the time to donate to WRIR.  You do get a pretty nifty t-shirt, but you also get the knowledge that you're providing a vital outlet for creativity and information here in Richmond.  Please take a few minutes to call 804-622-9747, visit us at 1621 W. Broad Street or donate online.

Greta B will be hosting What The Fontaine?! tonight 9-11pm with a special live performance from Iraqi metal band Acrassicauda (subject of the movie "Heavy Metal in Baghdad").  They'll be stopping by the studio on their way to their performance at Strange Matter.  Follow the "Read More" link below for more information on other events today.
