Back to school? We prefer to think of it as back to listening to great music with your friends! Richmond's music scene is thriving, with larger venues including The National, Altria Theater and Innsbrook After Hours booking big-name performers in addition to more intimate venues across the River City featuring a hipper, more alternative sound. At The Broadberry, On the Rox, The Camel, Strange Matter, Cary Street Café, and others, you can find live music just about any time you want to gather friends and enjoy it.
It doesn't get much better than listening to live music with friends. We supply this comprehensive calendar of Richmond's live music happenings so you can find great options almost any day of the month! Here's the Richmond music scene calendar through the first weekend of October:
