WRIR’s 8th Birthday Party

WRIR’s 8th Birthday Party

On February 1, WRIR FM 97.3 presents their 8th annual Party for the Rest of Us. This party, WRIR’s biggest and most widely attended event of the year, is a benefit to support and celebrate the independent and too-often underrepresented music scene found right here in our own back yard. 

The evening begins with Native American drum and dance ensemble Youghtanund.  The band lineup on the main stage this year is truly outstanding, featuring Wolf//Goat, Canary Oh Canary, The Upper East Side Big Band, and headliners Dead Fame. There will also be entertainment occurring throughout the beautiful Renaissance Ballroom, including performances by The Listening Room Presents, Secretly Y'all Storytelling, The Cheats Movement Presents, Colloquial Orchestra, Richmond Comedy Coalition presents:  Richmond Famous, and, of course, your favorite WRIR DJs.

The party gets underway at 7:00 at The Renaissance Ballroom. 107 W Broad St., and a suggested donation of $10 gets you in the door.  Don’t miss this sojourn through Richmond’s original and often exotic musical soundscape.  And with First Fridays Art Walk providing the backdrop,  there’s no better place to be for band-watching and people-watching than WRIR’s Party for the Rest of Us!
