Music by the River featuring Amber Rubarth

MUSIC BY THE RIVER 2025 | SUMMER CONCERT SERIES

For many years now, it has been our honor and joy to bring this free, community-centered concert series to the banks of the Ottauquechee River. On Friday evenings this summer, neighbors gather under the sky — kids dance barefoot in the grass, family’s picnic, and visitors discover the spirit of Woodstock, all made possible by your generosity.

This year’s 2025 Music by the River lineup and promises something for everyone!

ABOUT AMBER RUBARTH

In her unassuming yet beguiling way, Amber Rubarth draws you into a world where wonder and high-minded concepts weave into a poetic tapestry, "knocking down walls with songs so strong they sound like classics.” -Acoustic Guitar Magazine

Rubarth has toured from Japan to South Africa and all throughout North America and Europe, including Carnegie Hall, Glastonbury Music Festival, and opening for legendary artists Emmylou Harris, Richie Havens, and Dr. Ralph Stanley. She made her acting debut in the feature film American Folk, winning numerous festival awards and the Hollywood Reporter calling it "Superb... A heartfelt homage to American folk music.”

Her eighth solo album Cover Crop offers a meditation on our interconnectivity with nature, and was self-produced at her cottage in the woods of the Hudson Valley, NY with 15 reinterpretations of beloved songs through the lens of environmental sustainability. Visit Amber's website
