“Phoebe Hunt merges her Appalachian-style fiddle chops with Texas twang, Indian ragas, gypsy jazz, unfamiliar time signatures and the free-spirited fun of a jam band leader. The resulting record breathes new life into a genre that's sometimes so respectful of the past, it fails to push toward the future." - Rolling Stone Country
Phoebe's show here in 2019 was very successful and the proceeds from that concert funded the first music video of Phoebe's new album: Neither One Of Us Is Wrong.

BABA VANGA
"There is a wealth of knowledge to be gleaned from the uncertain art of clairvoyance. Phoebe Hunt & the Gatherers excavate the work of a woman named Baba Vanga, a blind 20th Century Bulgarian mystic, clairvoyant and herbalist, with their new video. The aptly-titled “Baba Vanga," is a transcendent art piece sculpting beauty and raw poeticism into an all-consuming exhibit of Vanga’s many prophecies." -American Songwriter Magazine

Stable Shakers
Click image below to view video:
Guitarist Spencer Pheil and vocalist Brechyn Chace first appeared at Riverdog as members of a wonderful folk band called The Hello Strangers. Soon after that, family matters dictated that the band stay pretty close to home in Eastern PA.
Itching to hit the road, Spencer began touring with other members of the HS band playing a sort-of "cowboy jazz". Brechyn decided to join in and her sound plus the addition of a keyboard demanded a new name...Stable Shakers was born. This will be the band's second appearance here.

Last year we had a hunch that there was something special about The Wildmans from the tiny mountain town of Floyd, VA, despite the fact that they didn't have a lot of fancy videos or other supporting evidence. We found them after they had been selected for participation in The Red Wing Roots Festival.
Boy did that gamble pay off! They knocked us for a loop and we decided right then and there to bring them back often (until they outgrow us) and watch their development.

“Seeing The Wildmans live was an inspiration! They took Oldtime tunes and expanded on them in a way I’ve never heard before, in a way only well seasoned jazz musicians could - with intelligence as well as power. And vocally, Aila Wildman is reminiscent of the likes of Rachel Price and Ella Fitzgerald. This young band is clearly destined for great things.” -Rob Miller, Pickin' Productions

Andrew Brown’s
Djangophonique
Click image below to view video:
Andrew Brown is the son of a Motown session musician and grew up listening to the sounds of his dad’s piano as he absorbed musical influences from Duke Ellington to Stevie Wonder. As a young man returning from a trip to New Orleans with a newfound interest in Swing music, he co-founded The Appleseed Collective (which has played Riverdog a couple of times) and began touring relentlessly for several years. The band is still going strong, but less relentlessly, and Andrew began practicing, teaching and performing the work of his favorite guitar player, Django Reinhardt. This current project, Djangophonique, is the results of that effort. It will be the perfect music or a midsummer evening.
