Dave Boutette & Kristi Lynn Davis
AMERICANA / FOLK / POP DUO
Dave Boutette was the first artist we booked as "Music at Riverdog" way back in 2014. He has returned every year since then, usually with Kristi Lynn Davis. Both are integral members of the Michigan Americana music community. Both are warm engaging people who make everyone else around them feel better.
Be prepared for a little audience participation.

Kuf Knotz & Christine Elise
HIP HOP / SOUL / CLASSICAL DUO
Philadelphia-based Kuf Knotz and Christine Elise were playing a show in Cleveland a few years ago and came out to Riverdog to see a concert on their day off. We hit it off right away with them and found their music compelling. We wanted to have them perform here but weren't sure our audience were ready for their envelop pushing so we teamed them up with our old friend Woody Pines, who always draws a crowd. We didn't need to fret...they were a huge hit. They may be the most original artists we have had here.
Turns out they have a cosmic connection with Dave and Kristi, but you will need to come to the show to find out what it is.
We can promise you a warm-hearted and highly entertaining evening in the Meadow.

The Onlies
Sami Braman, Riley Calcagno, and Leo Shannon started as a trio at age 7 in Seattle and it eventually morphed into The Onlies. Vivian Leva joined the group four years ago and the richness of their sound became even more polished. Now, just barely past twenty-one The Onlies are a seasoned and tight band focusing upon old-time string music and absorbing influences from The Carter Family to Townes Van Zandt to Bob Dylan.
Riverdog regulars will recognize Riley and Vivian from their previous appearances here.
(They have received critical acclaim recently as a duo and will return in September to perform new music.) Riley has long wanted to bring the band he co-founded fifteen years ago to Riverdog and now it is going to happen.

We are extremely honored to be a part of The Accidentals and Sawyer Fredericks dual album release tour!
What a way to end up the 2021 Music in the Meadow series!
What a way to end up the 2021 Music in the Meadow series!
Riverdog regulars are well acquainted with The Accidentals. We managed to snag them for a show several years ago just as they were heading to SXSW for the first time and just before their fame began to spread beyond the State of Michigan. We think they fell in love with our dogs and the soup we made for them because they keep wanting to return to our rustic abode. They are no longer kids, but we love them and are excited to have them back again. They are scary talented and are continuing to mature musically.
Sawyer Fredericks is an American singer–songwriter who won season eight of The Voice in 2015. Fredericks set series iTunes sales records and became the youngest winner in the history of the competition up to that time.
Like The Accidentals, Sawyer began performing at an early age (11) and, also like them, he didn't flame out after his initial success. Known for his raw, soulful vocals, and powerful live performances Sawyer has released four critically acclaimed albums and built a strong fanbase from around the country.

There will be plenty of tables for pre-show picnicking, but we can't guarantee there will be enough room for tables to be set up for showtime.
