Hey y’all-
The Rivergods will be back at Sailfest this year Saturday, July 9 from 4-5 p.m., just in time to grab a sausage-and-peppers and a cold one before the big fireworks show. There’s a lot of great talent around town throughout the day… Black Marmot, Sue Menhart, Above/Below, Raise the Rent, John Fries and the Heat, the Reducers and more… so come early and bring your sun block. Check out http://sailfest.org for all the details. See you there!
Alright! We happily rocked the park at Summer Pops 2011 yesterday… it was quite a day/night, and a real treat for us. A big deal to Rhode Islanders – a 31-year tradition that we were glad to get to be a part of. The sun came out, the crowds came to their pre-positioned blankets (see sound check shot, above center), and the balloons were soon flyin’ and the canons a boomin’. A big thanks to everyone who came out to support us!
Also, THIS JUST IN – The Rivergods return to a more regular-sized venue for us (!), and a great listening room for music, Sneekers in Groton, CT, Wednesday, June 29 for three sets of hump day madness! We’ll be back ‘under the moose’ doing some old songs, new songs, red songs, blue songs… maybe a little more or less stripped down… we’ll see. Hope you can join us… great food (mmm… wicked chicken), wonderful people, and as always, no cover as! Full info below:

The 2011 New London Whalie Awards are a week away… have YOU voted? The Rivergods are up for an award in the category of Best Americana Band, and it’s close, so we need your vote! But we’d like to EARN it… so if you haven’t heard us yet, please have a listen… and if you like what you hear, VOTE for us, or whoever else you think should win (Sinner’s Circle also nominated in the ‘Best Music Series’ category, hint hint…)! Only takes a minute… we sure do appreciate your precious time, as the race is close! Thanks, all… keep rockin’… thanks for your support!
The Rivergods have been named Folk Alley’s ‘Artist of the Month’ for May 2011… a real honor from a great group of folks! Check ’em out, they support lots of great music from around the country.
Mmmm… can you say packaging?
Get a copy of Signs anywhere in the world from iTunes (digital download for your phone or .mp3 player… $9.90 or $.99 a song) or CD Baby on CD, with the complete eco-wallet packaging for $9.99 (or digitally, too… $.99 a song!) Not too shabby. For THIS song or THIS song! Yeah, those two have been getting a lot of attention. Or any other off the album…
Hey, check out our Folk Alley page for more full song previews from Signs!
…
First off, a great big THANK YOU to the 200+ folks who came out to celebrate the release of ‘Signs’ at the Eugene O’Neill Theater in Waterford last weekend! It was quite a show… we had a slew of special guests sitting in, and our good friends Black Marmot down from Boston to open the show. We’ll post some more photos soon, but here’s one great gallery from WailingCity.com. Or, head on over to the Rivergods’ Facebook page to see a bunch more photos and video submitted by other fans!
The reviews are rolling in!
“Ben’s rough-edged tone, reminiscent of The Waterboys’ Mike Scott, and Nancy’s silky, Joan Baez-like sound fit together hand in glove. Country, gospel, pop and funky backbeats mix seamlessly…” —New Haven Advocate. Read some of them here, and stay tuned… there’s more in the works.
And… get the record now!
Signs is now available for download! $9.99 for the whole album, including artwork/liner notes, or $.99 per song. Other purchase options coming soon, too!
