Ben and Nancy of the Rivergods will be joined by Steve Elci!
Passion! Harmonies! Singer songwriters! The Rivergods are an original Americana/roots act based in southeastern CT that has played its own original heartfelt harmony-rich music throughout southern New England since 1997. The Rivergods are fronted by husband and wife songwriters Ben and Nancy Parent, whose lush harmonies and unique, individual songwriting styles anchor the band. The Rivergods perform both acoustically as a duo, and as a full band. The Rivergods have released seven albums since 2000. Nancy has also released a solo album of her own material, “Vision of Angels.” For this show, Nancy and Ben will focus primarily on material they have written over the past two years during the pandemic, with some older favorites sprinkled in. Joining them will be longtime friend, collaborator and occasional songwriting partner Steve Elci on percussion and backing vocals.
