Come to Friday Cheers!
Friday Cheers is back this week with a nod to the incredible talent that lives right here in our own backyard. RVA Music Night is a showcase of just a sliver of what the music scene in this city has to offer. We're mixing it up this week with No BS! Brass Band; classy, brassy and more fun then you've ever had with horns and a drum kit. Three Sheets to the Wind; a yacht rock tribute band that plays the best AM radio jams from the 70s and early 80s. Opening tonight is Long Arms a great rock band with a sound that has a little something for everyone.
These bands are a perfect example why Richmond is so unique and fun! Come tomorrow to check them out, its only 5 bucks and only on Browns Island.
