Cheap Whiskey Band live on the Lake Front Stage
Program Details & Spotlights
Celebrate Friday night lakeside with the energetic performance of Cheap Whiskey Band live on the Lake Front Stage. Sip local craft beers, grab some hot wings, and dance right next to the water with fellow music lovers.
Friday nights at Lake Anna hit a little differently, especially when you are spending them at the Lake Anna Taphouse. Located right on the water in Mineral, the Taphouse’s Lake Front Stage is the ultimate destination to kick off your weekend. As the afternoon heat fades and the sun begins its slow descent over the water, the atmosphere shifts from a relaxed lake day into a vibrant, high-energy lakeside party. There is nothing quite like the feeling of the cool lake breeze hitting your face just as the first chords of the night echo across the water.
Enter the Cheap Whiskey Band. Known across the region for delivering powerhouse performances, this band brings a foot-stomping, crowd-pleasing mix of classic southern rock, modern country, and high-octane party anthems. Their setlists are practically engineered to get you moving, whether you are a lifelong local or a weekender visiting the lake. The energy is infectious, easily bridging the gap between the patio tables and the lawn, turning strangers into dance partners by the end of the first set.
But the music is only half of the experience. The Lake Anna Taphouse boasts an incredible, ever-rotating selection of Virginia craft beers, ciders, and local favorites, alongside a kitchen dishing out legendary hot wings and easy-going lake eats. Watching boats pull up to the docks, sharing a cold pitcher with friends, and singing along to your favorite rock anthems is the quintessential Lake Anna lifestyle wrapped up into one perfect Friday night. It is the community hangout spot at its absolute best.
