About this Event
Traditional Bluegrass at Its Finest
RiverBend is a 5-piece Bluegrass band that calls Missouri home. With a blend of traditional and original tunes, RiverBend's authentic instrumentation and soaring harmonies harken back to the founders of the genre, but add an energetic and contemporary feel.
RiverBend is represented by EMG Records. Their 2nd album, “Wild Mountain Honey,” was a 1st round Grammy nominee for Bluegrass Album of the year.
Their 3rd studio album, “No More Will I Ramble”, released in March 2025.
RiverBend was an International Bluegrass Music Association Official Showcase Artist in Raleigh in 2024.
This year they were featured artists at Silver Dollar City’s Bluegrass & BBQ Festival, they’ve played at Jerusalem Ridge and the Bluegrass Music Hall of Fame.
RiverBend has played around the Midwest for the past 7 years and they’re happy to be here to share their love of traditional music.
The Salt River Band, from Kirksville, Missouri, brings an energetic mix of bluegrass and old-time string music. With their hard driving feel, and their tight harmonies, they can bring new life to an old tune, or make a new tune sound old.
The Salt River Band is quickly becoming a staple in midwest bluegrass, leaving pleased crowds all throughout Missouri, Iowa, and Minnesota after just their first two years of performing.
Each of the members of the band has a deep respect for traditional music, and love the process of making it, so if you have any nostalgia for acoustic music, these boys will make you feel right at home!
