About In Your Ear
In Your Ear is a live performance radio series created completely in RVA. It features highlights of JAMinc's house-style concert series held monthly before the pandemic in the acoustically perfect confines of In Your Ear Studio A in Shockoe Bottom. Former board member Robbin Thompson and his partner Carlos Chafin collaborated with JAMinc in 2004 to launch these musical close encounters and we're now well beyond the century mark in total concerts with highlights from most of them available here on VPM Music for live streaming. Since social distancing has relaxed, we've begun staging concerts in other venues including Hardywood Brewing's Barrel Room and the Tin Pan. Be listening for exciting live recordings from these performances.
In Your Ear is produced and hosted by JAMinc president Tim Timberlake. The genre range is a wide one, from roots, folk, blues and bluegrass to piano jazz, bolero and even Turkish pop. JAMinc is grateful to VPM Music for affording us the opportunity to share this music with its listeners, either on air or online. We hope you'll join us either way...or maybe both! We would like to sincerely thank our current underwriters for In Your Ear: Digital Video Group, Threshold Counsel PC, Fralin Pickups, Virginia Humanities/Virginia Folklife Program, the Robbin Thompson Endowment for Youth in Music, the Scott Street family, JAMinc founder Wally Thulin, the Graduate Hotel Richmond and the members of VPM.
