The band Soulfire takes the stage at River Farm, headquarters of the American Horticultural Society, on Thursday, May 30, 6 p.m. – 8 p.m. This outdoor family-friendly concert promises an evening of music, nature, and stunning views overlooking the Potomac River.

Guests are encouraged to bring a blanket or folding chair and find a spot to enjoy an entertaining evening on River Farm’s inviting lawn enveloped by the beauty of its gardens and the serenity of the Potomac River. Rocklands will be onsite with their finest BBQ available to purchase, or guests can bring a picnic basket. As the sun sets, Soulfire will set the atmosphere ablaze with a repertoire spanning over a thousand songs, from the classic rock of Chuck Berry and Elvis Presley to the funky vibes of Kool and the Gang, and the iconic tunes of The Rolling Stones, The Kinks, and The Who.
The event is made possible by River Farm neighbor, fan and advocate Katherine Ward who sponsored Soulfire, and the band’s lead singer, Randy Benn, who serves as Chair of the Board of Directors of the Potomac Riverkeeper Network. The AHS and River Farm support the nonprofit’s mission to protect the public’s right to clean water in the Potomac and Shenandoah Rivers and their tributaries. Their work to stop pollution is critical to enhance the safety of drinking water, protect healthy river habitats and increase public use and enjoyment.
