Activate!Activate! September 17 – September 24 (and The Amazing Raise!)

We've been hosting a band an hour all afternoon in our live room and it will continue on Activate! Cagey Watts (pictured) will perform at 7pm and The Cales go on at 8pm. It's all part of the Amazing Raise, which collects donations for local non-profits, and you can make your own donation to WRIR right HERE. The musical version of Richmond's concert calendar can also be heard, plus you'll have a chance to win tickets to see Ann Beretta and Fun Size at The Broadberry!
