Hey.  This is the local music section of the X website, dedicated to Studio B.  Studio B has been on the air for a long time (over 10 years now) thanks to: 1. YOU, so thanks.  And, of course: 2. the local musicians in the Mid-Atlantic area out there working hard.  If you know of a  band from Richmond, DC, Baltimore, North Carolina or anywhere in between please let us know.  Or, more importantly, let the band or artist know that their music is welcome here.  Email links to local band websites, requests and/or feedback to smackSTUDIOB@hotmail.com, because without artist and listener support, there is no Studio B.  So, again, thanks for listening.  Now, go out and see a band.


Studio B is proud to work closely with RVA Magazine to help spread the local music gospel.  RVA  is an ardent supporter of, and a driving force behind many Richmond arts and musical endeavors and an important voice in Richmond..

Shows, News and Events
ANTHONY CURTIS

Local guitar hero/shredder/teacher/studio musician/visionary Anthony Curtis is currently involved in a project to bring jazz giant John Coltrane to the six string.  A cd is planned, but this is no "tribute" as much as it is an interpretation with honor and a labor of love.  This project is garnering worldwide attention from some of the jazz and fusion world's heaviest hitters.  Check out Anthony's website and myspace page to hear some of the early sessions. 

Anthony is also the founder of ACME: Anthony Curtis Music Education.  He works with Richmond school children to bring music and poetry in to the classroom.  It's an amazing program and deserves attention.

Find out more here at the Anthony Curtis Music Education website.
Here's Anthony with one of his students.

RVA MAGAZINE
THE SECOND ANNUAL ARTHOUSE FILM FESTIVAL
RVA Magazine, BGNB Productions and Yellowhouse Productions are happy to present the premier local film festival made by and for the Richmond film community. On Friday, October 24th, we will screen ten of the regions’ best films by the rising talents in this medium. Steven Harris, representing Project Resolution, and Rebekah Frimpong of BGNB, will host the event. Awards will be given in three categories:
Arthouse Film Festival Award – the overall, most impressive film of the day with popular, as well as critical, appeal. ($500 and glass award)
Jury Award – Our panel of judges comprised of film critics, historians, professionals and educators will choose one film as their collective favorite. Focusing on character development, technical achievements and relevant originality, the jury will take a fine comb to the minutiae that separate art from artifice. ($250 and glass award)
Audience Choice Award – The audience will vote on the most satisfying film experience of the day, leaving room for comedies and lighter fare to shine in their ability to take the viewer to another place, if just for a short while. ($250 and glass award)
The Firehouse Theatre, YellowHouse Productions, Project Resolution and BGNB Productions have teamed with RVA in crafting and promoting the most inclusive and local celebration of the moving picture. The Festival is the kick-off to RVA Magazine’s anticipated series of late-October Halloween events collected under the banner “Halloweek.” RVA Magazine would like to invite your business to be recognized as a Community Sponsor of this new Richmond tradition. We’re offering two packages to suit your interests. An afterparty is being planned to honor all of the participating filmmakers. Please feel free to offer any partnership if you are interested in hosting or participating in this portion of the event.
Diamond Sponsors will receive logo recognition on all posters, flyers, presenters’ websites, the event playbill, a rotating ad on the silver screen at the Byrd on the day of the event, and in the broadcast trailer for the event. $500
Gold Sponsors will receive logo recognition on all posters, flyers, presenters’ websites, and the event playbill. $200
RVA Magazine and our collaborators are intent on creating new traditions with cultural (ir)reverence. The Arthouse Film Festival is a scalable, pan-demographic event sure to draw many of Richmond’s culturally curious. It is our hope you will join us in presenting our city with a unique and resonant experience.
