The Wailin' Jennys

The Wailin’ Jennys

Live Music. Big Names. No Tickets.

Free, un-ticketed concerts turn public space into shared space, filled with music, food, and connection. It’s one of Rochester’s favorite summer traditions.

7:00 p.m. | Molly Maher and Her Disbelievers

A staple of the Midwest music scene, Molly Maher delivers soulful Americana with grit, grace, and a bluesy undercurrent. Her band brings tight grooves and a timeless sound to every stage they play.

8:00 p.m. | The Wailin’ Jennys

Internationally acclaimed folk trio The Wailin’ Jennys are known for their spine-tingling harmonies, rich instrumentation, and emotionally resonant songwriting. With roots in Celtic, bluegrass, and Americana traditions, their music is both comforting and expansive. They're coming to the Midwest and making a special stop at Riverside for an all-ages, open-air concert under the stars. It’s a unique chance to hear world-class harmonies in one of Rochester’s most beloved public spaces.
