6:04 Mixtape #12 Curated by Florianna Heun

Five summers ago, quite by accident, and at exactly the right moment in my life, I found myself out in Richmond, Virginia, for one night only.  Having Yelp-ed a place for dinner, my boyfriend and I ended up at the one that promised over 30 beers on tap, and live bands every night.  Little did I know I was in for an experience that would spark a mad love affair with the eclectic, soul-bearing, party-starting force of nature that is the Richmond scene.  There is too much great music coming out of that city to capture it all in a 30 minute playlist, but here are some of the acts that have made a big impact on me over the last few years.
