The US Whitewater Center proudly presents The Whitewater River Jam each Thursday during the summer. Soul Watt is set to perform on June 17th.
Soul Watt is described by fans as “the most talented and versatile local/regional band around.” This high energy trio combines their truly stunning musical prowess with impeccable vocals to present the most wide-ranging playlist one could only dream of until now!. Without missing a beat, Soul Watt flows from modern/classic rock– to authentic blues, to supremely danceable funk, and many genres in between. Members Dougand Randy each sing lead; but can also blend their voices into “an auditory eargasm” of 2-part harmonies unlike you will hear in any other “local or regional” band.

Friday, June 18th The Embers will take the stage at Belmont’s Friday Night Live that is presented by the Belmont Merchants Association.
For decades The Embers have been making music by playing a mix of rhythm and blues and heart and soul.
Rhythm and Blues became the foundation and essence of SOUL music and the Motown sound, but in North Carolina, South Carolina, Virginia, Georgia, Florida and Alabama, the name that applies is “Beach Music.” Some believe that Beach Music is simply lyrics that are easy to sing with simple melodies and pretty harmonies that accompany them. Bobby Tomlinson, drummer and leader of the band, believes that Beach Music is music with a memory.
To say “The Embers play Beach Music” is an understatement. After eighteen albums and numerous single releases, THE EMBERS are one of the most popular and active groups in the country. THE EMBERS boast an average of two hundred fifty dates per year all ranging from Toronto to Florida and westward to California, Hawaii and most recently South Korea. Over the years they’ve played for presidents and princes, students and bankers, at the beach and in the city, on record and in concert, for our armed forces and audiences all around the world.
