Music in the Meadow
at Riverdog
We are on hiatus until May 2022.
When the COVID pandemic knocked out our concert programing, we decided to move things from our cozy music barn out into a nearby meadow which we felt would be the safest place possible for folks to gather for live music. Below is a phone video taken before the Sawyer Fredericks and The Accidentals concert in 2021. Below it is a video shot during the show.

“.....and Saturday night Dale took me out to Riverdog to hear some fantastic music! I told him there's no where else I'd rather be to celebrate a new year of life. Set way back off the road in the middle of the woods, it's stepping into another world where worries and cares are the only things not welcome. Deborah and Terry open their doors and welcome you in and it's like coming home. Golden candle light, beautiful rooms decorated with their artwork and charming ambiance, fireplace blazing cheerfully, Plenty of seating around the fire...the dogs will share their sofas with you... :) and then there are the host and hostess who greet everyone and make them feel welcome. They have a passion for music and have created this sanctuary for all who want to come and enjoy too! It's an enchanted place, and this is where we spent the eve before my birthday! They even had birthday cakes for a few others and when they found out is was my birthday too, they included me in the song and celebration. and of course, then there is the music, which unites all who are there in great joy. You always meet new friends at Riverdog. “ Marcia Martin
"Went there for the first time for the music. What I found was a rustic, down-to-earth place, emphasizing artistic talent, a relaxing atmosphere and a lack of commercialism for a performance venue. Things are done simply, yet incredibly well. It's all about the visual and musical art, and restorative simplicity" Terry Parker
