Music by the River featuring John Pinetree

MUSIC BY THE RIVER 2026 | 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 2026 Music by the River lineup and promises something for everyone!

ABOUT John Pinetree

John Pinetree is a multi instrumentalist singer songwriter with deep roots in all things Americana using his bass-baritone, guitar grooves, and searing harmonica to tell stories of the human diaspora. He and his band, The Yellin’ Degenerates, often shape shift from genre to genre - old school blues and jazz into modern Neo-soul and funk holding sacred the power of improvisation and celebrating the schtick that resides within each individual performer and the voices of the audience. Original and curated songs of hope, love, the joy of movement, compassion, inclusivity, loss, uncertainty, and of our largest challenges of humanity. Their music lends direction though  myriad emotions from joy to cathartic release landing in a place of gratitude which is the birthplace of altruism. For this The Pinetree Music Collective has a giving legacy from each performance and of all merch sales.
