We started The Riff out of frustration.
It was at the beginning of the COVID-19 crisis and I was reading Anthony Kiedis’s memoir Scar Tissue.
I’ve always liked the Red Hot Chili Peppers, but my connection with their music fell deeper after reading the book. I wanted to write about that connection.
Unfortunately, I was not able to find a good place to do so.
As a listener who doesn’t play instruments, I feel that writing is another art form I could take on to enhance my intimate connection with music. I wanted a place to share those thoughts with the world.
Want a place to share about losing your concert virginity? Or are you funky and want to learn more about singing senators and the Red Hot Chili Peppers?
Then The Riff is your place. Welcome home.
