River City Limits presents:
Richmond Cover Songs! (RVA Playlist Hosts)
Everyone loves a good cover song. Or even a bad cover song… we have plenty of those that we love! There’s no shortage of cover songs from Richmond artists, so this week, Andrew from RVA Playlist will be focusing on local artists covering songs from their favorite artists. Some of them are even covering other Richmond artists!
