Introducing ‘Figures of Speech’: A parable of sorts, a new folk song or a memento mori for our times, inspired by the late, great John Prine. Look for the single on all streaming services in the next few weeks. Filmed on location at Tox Brewery, New London, CT by our good friend Steve Elci. Cheers!

Think globally, consume locally! We’re back at our hometown Farmer’s Market in Waterford, CT this Saturday, June 29 for a few sets of original, acoustic goodness. Joining us for some tunage will be our good friend “Banjo” Bill Kinsella on the 5-string. More info on the market here.

Summer 2024 kicks off with another stellar lineup at Connecticut College’s annual Music in the Meadow concert on Friday, May 31! Ben and Nancy will open the show in a new stripped-down format, with musician Steve Elci adding percussion and a third vocal harmony to the mix. The Rivergods will perform this way for the summer season, returning to the songwriting intimacy and vocal harmonizing of their early years. For more on our summer schedule, visit the shows page.
