Free Concert: Sundays at Three with "Rivers"

Enjoy an afternoon of original music on Sunday, December 11 at 3:00 pm when the all-acoustic trio "Rivers" will perform in concert at Bernardsville Public Library. Hailing from Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, Rivers will perform a selection of previously released and unreleased music. Rivers’ “soul folk” is splashed with different eras of country, blues and funk music. With strong vocals, their raw sound comes from traditional instruments, implementing upright bass, guitar, banjo and percussion.

Rivers is an experience unlike anything else, with its smattering of genre-bending sounds. Missy Smith of The Burg Magazine wrote of the group, "After just two short years of playing together, Joe Schaefer, 25, Matt Sinkovitz, 31, and Vincent Yarnell, 25, are eagerly working to get their distinctive folk amalgamation into the eardrums of as many people as possible. 'People really love our music,’ said Sinkovitz, the percussionist, ‘It’s amazing to share what you’ve created with people and get such a positive response. It makes you feel like you are doing something right. We have kids sitting around us at farmers markets, and we play senior homes. We can hold it down for most audiences.’”

This concert is funded by the Friends of the Bernardsville Public Library. It’s free and no sign-up is needed. There will be light refreshments. Doors open at 2:45 pm. For further information, call the library at 908-766-0118.
