Join us for topic-based discussions on sobriety as it relates to being in the music scene, whether you’re sober or sober curious🤩 Riffs and Recovery meets at @gallery5arts in Richmond, VA every Monday from 1-2pm! 🦋
The mission of Riffs and Recovery is to offer hope, fellowship, and a path forward to anyone who is dealing with substance abuse, alcoholism, or addiction in general. Our group focuses on anyone involved in the music industry or music scene, but all are welcome. By coming together and sharing our perspectives, we can acknowledge that addiction cannot be overcome by isolation and willpower alone. We hope to create a safe space with a harm-reduction approach for both sober and sober-curious people. We’re here to discuss the difficulties and celebrate the wins that come with choosing to be sober in the music world. We believe you can still enjoy your creative process, get on stage, attend shows, and enjoy life without substances that are harming you 💖
follow us to stay updated on events and more! if you have any questions, dm us here, email us, or contact our hosts @bevelcut_shawti and @ghost_in_human_shape 💖

Thank you to Gallery 5 for lending me the space to share about my ongoing series “Storytelling Portraits: Creatives of RVA.”
To my beloved friends whose photographs were featured in the show, thank you for sharing your story with me! It has impacted many who came across them.
It was also a pleasure to perform and share the stage with some more talented friends who sang about the latino diaspora and their own personal journeys.
Grateful to my RVA community always.
Thank you for showing up and dancing the night away in celebration. 💃🏻🎶🪩
Hasta la próxima,
Alex

VALENTIN PRINCE, CHLOE ESTER, M. BRETT JONES
SATURDAY, MAY 2ND
GALLERY 5
Valentin Prince is fresh off of their 7th album in an impressive 4 years. The new record is called For Real and it is a whirlwind of psychedelia, smooth guitar playing, and gentle yet confident vocals. Valentin Prince has had strong R&B influence in the past which I think is still prevalent in this record, but they are also adding in some really interesting funky pop sounds that can be heard in tracks like “Interested.”
