The Official Music Channel of the Richmond International Film Festival
Bringing The Music Of Central Virginia
To The
World
It was an idea, spanning five decades, before The Breeze became an official streaming music channel. It was about building a form of media that truly supported the community, providing a platform for local musicians to be heard, for charities and non-profit organizations to get the word out for their activities, and to promote events of interest to all.
Of course, it had to be presented differently. Not like the corporate radio stations that play the same music and 300 songs every month. Not using personalities that don’t even live here. The Breeze wanted To BE RICHMOND!
Starting with iconic Richmond radio legends Bill Bevins, Ilyse Jennings, and Adam Stubbs, The Breeze assembled a group passionate about radio and music who knew how they wanted to make something special. First, they picked their own music which included hundreds of musicians from Central Virginia, resulting in playing over 5,000 unique songs every month, creating a playlist for your day. Their credo. It has to be good music regardless of Genre. Whether you are working at your desk, or are having fun….ANYWHERE. It’s a Richmond sound that you can take anywhere with you…with mobile apps for your phones, Alexa and Sonos speakers, thru Airplay or even your Samsung TV.
And we mean ANYWHERE…The Breeze is available in
over 200 countries WORLDWIDE. And what a sound!!
We had assembled a broadcast Dream Team…how could we make the channel sound as good or better than satellite and broadcast? Add an audio industry executive to the team to oversee the sound.
Bud Myers came from the home audio industry from companies like Marantz , Advent, and Jensen and knew about new technologies that would make The Breeze come ALIVE!
And it does…plug your headphones into your computer and you will be amazed of the sound…and your Bluetooth speakers and streaming will be the best anywhere!
It’s 50 Years Of Soft Album Rock…with a Richmond flair.
We Are The Breeze
"The Breeze has done more for Richmond music than any radio station....ever."
-Mike McAdam
Even more now by the limited consolidation of corporate radio. You’ll hear great music no matter the style.
So many of the great songwriters have been creating excellent music over the past 50 years, but other than their 70’s hits, they aren’t played.
The Breeze catches you up with their meaningful compositions. Their music has matured and details all the things that life has brought to all of us. It is filled with heart in their deep album tracks.
Local Richmond musicians have never gotten a fair share of radio time, yet they have been there for us, playing concerts for five decades. The Breeze brings their music to you every day.
The ability to bring this music in full CD quality means that
no matter how you stream the Breeze, from mobile speaker to your high-fidelity system, the music sounds great.
From album cuts of singer songwriters to the Blues, to soft jazz or 60’s soul...
This is the music of our lives as Bill and Bud hear it. Listen up... on the Breeze.
