What a great show last Monday night - thanks to all who came out to support our local group Bluesberry Jam. Where else are you going to hear a song about a trip to the transfer station??
This week we welcome recording artists Red Molly to our stage. This is one of their last shows before they go on hiatus so please come out and give them a warm East Haddam/Moodus welcome. Their beautiful Americana style & gorgeous harmonies is guaranteed to make it beautiful night down by the river. We are doing our best "no rain" dance - please join us Monday night down by the river!

Take the bus!
What a great series we've had so far this summer!! And bigger than usual crowds. Please see the exciting announcement from East Haddam Parks & Rec Director, Tiffany Quinn.
We have arranged for a shuttle bus on Monday in anticipation of the larger crowds this week to see the New Riders of the Purple Sage! Please consider parking at Eagle Landing on the Haddam side of the swing bridge and the bus will bring you directly to the Gelston House between 5:30-7 p.m. Return trips will be made as well at the end of the concert. Please do not try to walk across the bridge- this will only slow the traffic down. Thank you to Marie Nichols and Nichols Bus Service for helping us arrange this service for our concert attendees.
So if you don't want to deal with parking for the New Riders of the Purple Sage show on Monday night - take the bus!

Rain, Rain Go Away!
So far it's looking okay for the show to be held outside tonight. As a general rule, the show is moved indoors if there is a 50% chance of rain or bad weather after around 2:00pm. So it can rain this morning but will need to dry out this afternoon.
Tiffany Quinn will be discussing MOR on the radio around 9:00am this morning - here is the station information. She'll be interviewed on the Travel with Kal show.
Tonight's show is the U.S. Coast Guard Academy Dixie Land Jazz Band. Bring your dinner or buy some great food from the Gelston House & join us down by the river for a wonderful night of music!

We have another great line-up for 2014 Music On The River season! Thanks to all who turned out for our first concert of the season, B. Willie Smith. We had one of the biggest crowds we've ever had! A wonderful night of music to be sure.
The second show was a rain out on the river but a hot show at the high school. Thanks to all who showed up to support our local band, Bluesberry Jam. They were awesome! For those of you who didn't brave the weather, here is a great clip of what you missed. (You can see another clip of the show here.)

It's Going To Be a Beautiful Night!!
It's already time for the last concert of 2013 season - hard to believe!
This show promises to be great and the setting down by the river will be perfect to enjoy some traditional Cuban music! Join us for Qimbombo!
Quimbombó is a groove oriented band with a musical base in the Cuban són (the contagious dance music championed by Buena Vista Social Club that is the main ingredient in salsa); they always maintain strong elements of improvisation and spontaneity in their sound.
The group's lively and unique sound has excited audiences at many venues including Lincoln Center's Midsummer Night's Swing, The River to River Festival, SOB's, the Brooklyn Museum, La Belle Époque, and Gonzalez y Gonzalez. They have recorded two CDs, Quimbombó, released in 2004, and Conga Electrica, released in 2008.
