REMINDER: we are happy to welcome Low Water Bridge Band back again this year to headline our FREE event, the Cacapon Riverfest.

Low Water Bridge Band is a six-piece Americana force from Clarke County, Virginia, blending Appalachian grit, h***y tonk swagger, and rock-and-roll edge. Built on storytelling, harmony, and a no-frills work ethic, the band has forged a reputation for high-energy live shows and heartfelt, road-worn songs that stick to your ribs. Their latest album, H***y Tonk Process, is a ten-song dive into heartache, grit, and growth, crafted from the long haul of life on the road and the ties that bind.

Originally from Huntington, WV, James Austin is your friendly next-door neighbor. His soulful songs shed light on the Appalachian experience, rooted in the Americana tradition. Austin shines through his lyricism and raw delivery of heavy and light hearted topics, complimented by mighty fine guitar chops and harmonica musings.

Born where the mountains meet the mud, SmokeRings is a three-piece Appalachian folk-punk firestorm. Jonathan Morgan howls and hammers on acoustic guitar, Jarrod Kaine drags the bottom out of his bass, and Wayne Katz beats the drums like they owe him money.
This is Delta blues with a busted lip. Porch-stomp rhythms, swampy grooves, and vocals soaked in cheap wh***ey and truth. One minute you’re in a backwoods revival, the next you’re in a basement punk show.
No frills. No filters. Just high-voltage, sweat-soaked, good-time chaos.
