Friday Cheers 2008
Friday, May 16
6:00-9:30pm

Venture Richmond's FREE signature summer concert series is back on Brown's Island for its 24th season and promises to feature some of the nation's hottest touring acts, along with some regional favorites.

Carbon Leaf with Moossa
Carbon Leaf blasted into the national spotlight over three years ago with their major label debut, "Indian Summer". But while they kept busy working as support on major national tours (Dave Matthews Band, Counting Crows, John Mayer, etc.) and headlining their own, these Virginia-based self-starters kept moving forward musically as well as professionally. Plenty of longtime Carbon Leaf fans will notice that on the group's two most recent CDs, 2004's "Indian Summer" and 2007's "Love, Loss, Hope, Repeat," there's an obvious absence of the sound that once got Carbon Leaf labeled by some as a Celtic/bluegrass band. The move so far seems to have worked. The song "Life Less Ordinary" off "Indian Summer" became a modest adult radio hit and gave Carbon Leaf its first taste of mainstream exposure. www.carbonleaf.com
