The 2025 season of Music by the River, one of the highlights of the summer on Virginia’s Northern Neck, was a great one. The Friends of Belle Isle and the Park, through their “Music Director”, Bob Mason, put together a fantastic lineup of local bands for Saturday evenings alongside the Rappahannock. We are already putting together the 2026 series. Plan to come out and enjoy a great evening of music (and free popcorn).
June 14 – THE WINDBAGS – Acoustic Country, Rock – CANCELLED due to weather
June 21 – CHRIS & JANE – Country, Folk, Rock – Great Band, Beautiful Evening
July 12 – RAPPAHANNOCK CROSSING – Bluegrass – Fantastic
July 19 – HARD TO TELL – Rockabilly, Dance – Great (AND we dodged a storm)
August 9 – FARON HAMBLIN – Country – Always a favorite!
