While Richmond's music scene appears to be heating up, it's kinda sad for me to see a city institution grow tepid. Maybe it's just me, but this year's lineup for Friday Cheers looks a little weak-sauce. Sure, you have perennial favorites Carbon Leaf, but the rest? Largely no-thanks. If you enjoy swilling overpriced beer and primping Fratsters® past and present, you're welcome to it. I think I'd rather use my beer money for tickets and cover charges to see more worthwhile acts.
