Rockin’ the Rivers is only a month away – get your tix!
It’s creeping right on up! Rockin’ the Rivers is set to return to The Bridge near Three Forks for its 2018 event, a riff-heavy festival to be held Friday through Sunday, August 10th–12th with a hair-raising slate of performers. This year’s festival will feature headlining performances by Everlast, Theory of a Deadman, and Tommy James & The Shondells.
American rapper, singer, and songwriter Everlast hits the stage Friday night. Complex and controversial, Everlast is best known for the gritty and moving hit “What It’s Like,” which spent 30 weeks on Billboard’s Main Stream Rock chart, eventually peaking as the nation’s #1 song. Fans will also recognize hits “Ends,” “White Trash Beautiful,” and the social rap “I Get By.”
Theory of a Deadman headlines Saturday night and ever since their last appearance at the festival in 2015, the band has only gained more traction and a larger following. Theory’s popularity comes from creating songs that appeal to all fans by speaking to situations that many people face in their everyday life. Their newly released album, Wake Up Call, features the catchy soul-searing single “Rx (Medicate),” which tackles society’s need to find a release from the routine of daily life. Other hits include “Bad Girlfriend,” “Lowlife,” and “Angel.”
The festival finishes the weekend on Sunday with classic rock artist Tommy James and the Shondells. As one of the most iconic bands of the 60s and 70s, this band has sold over 100 million records worldwide. Tommy James has one of the longest strings of nonstop hits in US chart history, including “Mony Mony,” “Crimson and Clover,” “Crystal Blue Persuasion,” and “Draggin’ the Line.”
