Deau Eyes’ Tour De Richmond is a Love Letter to the City

by | Sep 17, 2025 | EVENTS, MUSIC, ROCK & INDIE

Deau Eyes continues on her Tour de Richmond with headline show tomorrow night at The Camel.

Richmond native and indie rock troubadour, Ali Thibodeau, also known as Deau Eyes, has been making the rounds this month with a city-wide musical celebration called Tour de Richmond playing 14 shows in 14 days in the city’s most iconic venues, galleries, and hidden spots.

“The marathon of performances, highlights the creativity and community that Richmond is known for,” said Deau Eyes in a press release. Her performances are blending full band rock shows with intimate open mics, themed events, and unexpected collaborations. All of this culminates tomorrow night (September 18) at The Camel on Broad Street, where she’ll deliver the heartfelt, powerful music that has come to define her sound, not just in Richmond, but nationally.

“Tour de Richmond is my love letter to this city,” says Thibodeau. “Every stage here has shaped me, and this run is about celebrating Richmond with the people who’ve been part of that journey.”

In short, go see Deau Eyes tomorrow night at The Camel. Tickets can be found here. We also left you a special Deau Eyes playlist on our Spotify channel below.
