We can’t wait to share our global music and vibes with you all at this very special performance.

Blending deep traditional knowledge with contemporary funk and reggae influences, his performances are joyful, electrifying, and guaranteed to make you want to dance.

Thank you VTDigger and Auditi Guha for the inspiring coverage of our Flynn performances and for sharing our vision for what’s ahead!

“Following a successful debut show, a local band of global musicians unveil plans to build bridges with their music in Vermont and beyond.”

Before our sold-out evening performance at the Flynn, All the Rivers kicked off the day with a riveting show for 1,000 Burlington High School students. It was powerful to share our music, our stories, and connect with such a vibrant and diverse student body.

We’re grateful to be part of a community that shows up for this work, and we’re excited to bring All the Rivers to communities across the region this summer and fall—more soon!
