My Girl the River starts at Ventnor Arts Club on Saturday 12 September. 20:00 marks the start, with the event due to finish at 22:00 after 2 hours.
My Girl the River are a family band led by Louisiana-born Kris Wilkinson Hughes, with husband Joe and daughter Ruby. Their two-hour Ventnor concert puts the family’s playing and songwriting at the centre of a close-room performance. Kris’s Louisiana background gives the trio a distinct identity before a note lands, while the family line-up promises the kind of musical understanding that works well in a small arts-club room. The arts club sits on Ventnor High Street and specialises in the kind of film, broadcast and live event that benefits from a smaller audience. You see the detail and feel the room respond.
The 20:00 start and 22:00 finish make this a complete Saturday-night concert rather than background music during dinner. Ventnor Arts Club is indoors, and the intimate scale should appeal to listeners who like to hear the words and small shifts between musicians. More Island live music sits in the music calendar. Choose this date for a grown-up evening with a clear focus, especially if a close performance sounds better than a crowded standing gig.
