Friday Cheers 2009
25 Years of FREE Music!
Brown's Island
6:00-9:30pm
Venture Richmond's FREE signature summer
concert series, Friday Cheers, presented by Coors Light and Yuengling,
is back on Brown's Island for its 25th season and promises to feature
some of the nation's hottest touring acts, along with some regional
favorites. The series kicks off Friday, May 8, and continues Fridays
through June 26.
This Friday, May 8:
Melvin Seals & JGB (w/ The Spaceheaters)
Melvin Seals, whose musical roots seep deep into gospel soil, has
always been seeking that point where music merges with spirit, what he
calls "church vibe." He found it with Jerry Garcia over two decades
ago, and he is finding it again in the new JGB. "Jerry Garcia Band was
my absolute favorite band in the world and I'm honored to be able to
carry on the torch and play homage to the heart and feel and tones. I'm
honored to be playing with Melvin Seals who blew me away at every
concert I went to. We're all honored to be KEEPERS OF THE FLAME."
