Take a break from the workday and enjoy live music and frozen treats in Downtown Richmond with Venture Richmond’s new lunchtime pop-up series, Frozen Treats, Live Beats.

This free pop-up series brings eight live music performances to different locations throughout Downtown Richmond and Manchester, making it easy to step away from the desk, meet up with coworkers, and enjoy a little live music during the lunch hour.

The series takes place on select Thursdays from 12:00–1:00 PM.

The first 100 attendees at each event will receive a free frozen treat. Most locations will feature Richmond favorite Gelati Celesti, serving a complimentary scoop of their handcrafted ice cream. The May 7 pop-up will feature a free sweet treat from Daisy's.

After the first 100 treats are claimed, additional frozen treats will be available for purchase.

April 9: Tyler Meacham isn’t just telling stories, she’s building a world for them to live in.

According to Style Weekly, “Meacham has shown an uncommon knack for performing pop music’s signature alchemy: turning specific experiences into broadly accessible storytelling. Part of that is her commitment to candor, both in her music in her communication with fans.”

Her 2024 EP “sad girl summer” was chiefly recorded at her home studio, 6807, with her longtime partner, Chip Hale. The EP unpacks grief in all its forms and features her standout single “dream house” which was awarded 2nd Place in the Mid-Atlantic Song Contest. An accompanying video for the song was chosen as the winner of WNRN’s Tiny Studio Contest and received a feature on NPR Music’s Song of the Day.

In addition to writing and producing her own music, Tyler hosts & organizes Anyfolk—a bi-monthly curated music & art showcase that has built a following of over a thousand local music lovers since launching in December of 2024 in her hometown of Richmond, VA. Through raw, unfiltered songwriting and intentional community-building, Meacham is creating a lasting space for her work and her colleagues to grow.
