We have been blessed with sponsors that continue to support us year after year. This event simply would not go on without their help. Please recognize and support them, and tell them thank you for supporting Waterford River Rhythms whenever possible.
It is always our intent to introduce Waterford to not only new artists, but the best that we can find and afford. We only book bands we've seen live. Band selection is juried - and yes, we're proudly a little picky.
It is only appropriate that the 2025 WAMI Female Vocal Finalist kicks off our 20th anniversary season. Jackie Brown played our very first season in 2007 with Jackie Brown and the Boys. This season she's bringing Driving Miss Crazy (DMC) to the Park. I refer to this version of Jackie as Jackie Brown 2.0.
Jackie is surrounded by talent, with KK on bass (Black Frog), Neddi on guitar (Doc Hammer) and the amazing Barry on the kit. DMC on Facebook
Kashmir seeks to re-create the experience of a 70's Zeppelin show utilizing authentic vintage stage gear, costumes and special effects, with great attention to detail in a non pretentious way.
But most importantly, Kashmir does not take liberties on improving the music. Led Zeppelin should be reproduced dead on with great respect and admiration. more on Kashmir, Kashmir on Facebook and a Promo Vid
