Open Stage Night @ Cafe Diem is Tonight

by | Oct 5, 2011 | POLITICS

It’s time for yet another Open Stage Night at Cafe Diem, presented by RVA Magazine and Radio Rubber Room. We are now into our sixth week and it is quickly becoming the premier open mic night in the Richmond music scene. Last week we opened up the show with a full list of names like: Luke & The Junk, No Dice, The Rich Moore Band, and Jason from The Dream Machine. Relacksaction was a really cool bluegrass band comprised of a violin, an upright bass and a guitar. Shaun Rease from Downbeat Switch brought out his guitar and proved to everyone his talents reach beyond the keys. In promotion of their coming appearance on Radio Rubber Room, The Canary Promise played a full electric set, and killed it. Each Wednesday is becoming better than the last, so we hope you’ll join RVA Magazine and Radio Rubber Room in yet another edition of our weekly celebration of Richmond music.
