River Arts Inc. has not one, but THREE gorgeous venues to present in. Time and time again, we recognize, with gratitude, what it is to be able to program a versatile, interesting, educating season.

We’ve already heard from the 2024-2025 musicians that the spaces are welcoming and audiences are receptive and supportive. And that’s really all you can ask for folks!

PonyFolk thank you for trusting us and giving us a gift of an evening. It was magical. ✨ Let’s do it again soon 💛.

08/21/2024

THIS FRIDAY! Ponyfolk will perform our first house concert of the season. These folks are trekking down from the North Country to play a whole host of original and traditional tunes at 7PM at the River Arts On Water Gallery ✨.

Tickets available: riverartsinc.org/ponyfolk/
Doors open at 6pm

Ponyfolk was founded in 2014 by Clifton Nesseth and Paul Sauey. Rooting their sound in a mutual appreciation of folk, rock, and orchestral music, the pair’s multi-instrumentalist abilities and vocal harmonies have carved them out a reputation of creating maximalist soundscapes that are defined by droning layers of guitars, strings, and synth textures – undergirding emotionally evocative lyrical imagery. Recently, they have been working to build musical bridges at the intersection of old time Nordic music, Americana, and modern indie folk performing in a variety of styles and ensemble configurations. They are often joined by Aaron Hayes (drums), Alex Nelson (keyboards), and Mikey Marget (cello).
