Music by the River featuring The Cash Box Kings

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 THE CASH BOX KINGS

The Cash Box Kings are bona fide blues royalty. Co-led by songwriter, harmonica and singer Joe Nosek, and real-deal Chicago blues vocalist and songwriter Oscar Wilson, the Cash Box Kings play masterfully raw and unvarnished house-rockin’ blues. The band also features a "who's who" of some of the greatest blues musicians on the scene today including Billy Flynn, Kenny "Beedy Eyes" Smith, boogie woogie and blues piano master Queen Lee Kanehire and upright bass wonderkid John W. Lauler. Critics worldwide recognize the band as one of the premier traditional Chicago blues bands today. The Kings feature gritty powerhouse vocals, soaring harmonica, and razor-sharp original songs. With their top shelf musicianship and trademark good humor, The Cash Box Kings are a one-of-a-kind blues band. In the words of MOJO magazine, the band is "flawless." Visit their website!

We’re so grateful to M&T Bank for supporting this concert and helping make it all happen! Their generosity brings great music to our community—and we couldn’t do it without them!
