Bring your dogs???
Unless your four legged friends have been here and are friends with our dogs, it would be best to leave them at home. They will be happier and so will we.

Alex Bevan
with
Sands and Hearn
The dean of Northeast Ohio singer-songwriters, Alex Bevan returns for his third visit to Riverdog.
Forever known as "that skinny little boy from Cleveland, Ohio" Alex is really a great deal more than that. For over 40 years he has chronicled his thoughts and feelings about life and the region he loves in a rich array of songs...actually poems put to music. Also, his lyrics are so good that people don't realize what a great guitar player he is. Come and experience one of those rare musicians who didn't have to tour to be successful.
Alex's latest recording, 2017's True Meridian will be available at the show.

Opening for Alex: Sands and Hearn
Husband and wife Richard Hearn & Quinn Sands have been writing and performing together since 2015. Both grew up on the southwest side of Cleveland Ohio, but never met until decades later at the legendary Barking Spider Tavern on the campus of Case Western Reserve University. Similar life experiences led to each of them following the muse out of difficult times and toward one another. Their style is a unique blend of their musical backgrounds and influenced by the roots of American music, with an emphasis on the story. Their first CD “Time is a Line” was released on May 28, 2017.

Phoebe Hunt and the Gatherers
An accomplished Americana instrumentalist and singer with foundations in jazz and swing music, Phoebe Hunt is a dynamic creative force who came on our radar about 5 years ago. She is a ball of energy and her current manefestation, Phoebe Hunt and the Gatherers, is the culmination of a five year journey that has taken her from her Austin roots, through Music Row, Brooklyn, Nashville and even to India to study with seventh-generation master violinist Kala Ramnath. Along the way, Phoebe found her voice and delivered her most inspired set of songs to date — the soundtrack to her self-discovery.
Her latest album, Shanti’s Shadow marks an arrival for Phoebe Hunt, whose artistic and personal journey has deep storylines. These masterfully crafted songs are brought to life by the musicians Phoebe has gathered – each a virtuoso in their own right. Phoebe is skilled at taking seemingly disparate elements and pulling them together into a dazzling kaleidoscope of lush, coherent sound and rhythm patterns. The result is music that swells, crashes and breathes organically under Phoebe’s soulful, plaintive voice. Sounds of Americana and Texas Tinged Swing are woven with exotic rhythmic concepts culled from Phoebe’s time in India.
Shanti’s Shadow is always surprising yet comfortingly familiar. Prior to recording this album, the entire band traveled to India to study at an ashram outside of Pune with master violinist Kala Ramnath. In India, they practiced music, meditation and philosophy – sometimes spending as many as 10 hours a day working and re-working Tats and Ragas. This intense, experiential study is apparent in the seamless musical play and improvisation of Shanti’s Shadow.
Phoebe is amazing and we are thrilled to finally get her here at Riverdog.

WILDEYES
with
Lena Rich
Deep Nashville roots, rich Western influences, a veritable fortune of experiences touring in support of a-list artists and a non-sexy, woodshed, 1950ʼs American work-ethic have unified Daniel and Emily Kohavi and Max Hoffman to forge the marvel of WILDEYES.
A writing machine, WILDEYES has the uncanny ability to viscerally connect across enerations, ideologies and genres with pure American music wandering South and West. Wildeyes performances are inimitable gifts that sonically, visually and emotionally retrieve and elevate you.
This band came on our radar not long ago and we really liked them so we wrote about a future booking. Turns out they are currently on tour from New York City to St. Louis and they had a night off in our neck of the woods, so instead of taking a rest, they will be plying their trade in the Riverdog Music Barn. They are all excellent musicians and Emily has one of those unconventional, expressive voices we find compelling. We are very excited to have them here sooner than we figured!
Their new album "Empty Love" will be available for presale here at Riverdog.

Opening for Alex: Lena Rich
singer/songwriter from Edgercomb, Maine
"Lena Rich has a style unabashedly her own. Vibrant in her performances, she layers the energy of rock n’ roll over the heart of a country girl. At just 20 years old, she has a commanding presence: tall, elegant, with wild waves of hair and a striking smile. Yet her perspective and lyrics are mature beyond her years. Throughout her songs she paints detailed imagery. In the song Spelling Out Your Name, she tells of, "strip malls and dirty cars, and at night I can't see the stars.” Coupled with articulate and vivid lyrics, Lena’s melodies are interesting, ripe with harmony. Her passion and confidence come through on stage, making Lena Rich a new alt-country artist worth checking out."

The Soul Proprioters
CD Release Party: Leave a Trace
The Soul Proprioters are a high energy progressive roots ensemble centered in Oberlin since 2006 and have probably played Riverdog more times than anyone else.
Drawing from a variety of sources: jazz, folk, blues, soul and even classic rock,
the band consistently provides rich and danceable music.
They have put their heart and soul into their new album, Leave a Trace, and both we and the band felt there was no better place for their CD release party than the Riverdog barn.

Olivia Millerschin and Her Band
"Our Holiday Show"
"If you're not already familiar with her music, you should absolutely start listening immediately. Millerschin is a wonderful talent who brings an amazing storytelling quality to each of her songs. Trust us when we say that you should make a point of seeing her perform live. You won't regret it." Matt Giles
We have had the pleasure of experiencing Olivia Millerschin over the last three years and are contiually amazed by her songwriting and vocal abilities which meld classic Americana with contemporary jazz and pop. Still only 23 years old, she is a already a seasoned pro...starting with her appearance on America's Got Talent to touring nationally for the last several years. Olivia is sweet, funny and charming...her music however, is rich and mature beyond her years.
This will be Olivia's fourth appearance at Riverdog and her holiday show has become a Riverdog tradition. If you haven’t seen her yet, come and see why we are so high on her prospects.
Olivia and her band of talented merry men will present two lively sets consisting of an equal mix of Olivia's original songs, jazz standards and music for the holidays.
What a wonderful way to wrap up the year!
