Hello Music Lovin’ Business Owners!

We’ve curated a locally-focused streaming service to give your business a fresh new soundscape that illuminates local artists: Sound of Richmond

Sound of Richmond was created as part of a portfolio built from the mission of Shockoe Records -  support and amplify local musical artistry. A subscription to The Sound of Richmond supports the creative music makers in your community while giving your business a perpetual playlist of unique songs to specialize the sound experience in your business environment. 

The benefits of supporting local music!

  • Promoting live music tourism, bringing more people to the city

  • Advertising to customers and clientele your support for local talent

  • Avoiding global corporate streaming services that underrepresent local music and culture

  • Contributing directly to the livelihoods of musicians in your community

  • Encouraging regional pride in our collective creativity

  • Supporting local industries that revolve around the music scene

  • Shifting music selection from genre based to culturally focused

We invite you to amplify your support for local creators and to turn your clientele on to new sounds that wouldn’t otherwise get the widespread airplay that they deserve. Monthly and annual subscriptions are available. Check it out!

Hello Richmond Music Makers!

We are thrilled to announce the launch of a new streaming service focused on Richmond area music, and you’re invited!

Aren’t you tired of going into your favorite haunt or shop and hearing the same overplayed playlist?? Wouldn’t you rather hear YOUR music?!

In tune with its mission to support and amplify local musical artistry, Shockoe Records has created Sound of Richmond, a homegrown alternative to the global streaming services that pay little or no attention to regional scenes like ours. We’re offering our service to the community to both entertain, and enlighten listeners to the abundant talent in our community.  Sound of Richmond is available on a subscription basis, offering a wide scope of genres streaming 24/7. Now’s the time to get your tunes in rotation!

Shockoe Records handles the ASCAP and BMI licensing fees, and if you are proactive with registering with your PRO affiliations you can earn a little cash for your music being played! We doubt it’ll make anyone rich, but at least you’ll be compensated and credited for your intellectual property!

Sound of Richmond provides a unique opportunity for your music to resonate far & wide!
