Live on the Levee presented by Moses Auto Group
Friday, May 29 | 6:30pm
Enjoy Charleston’s free, Friday-night summer concert series set to the backdrop of the Kanawha River. Food trucks and beverage vendors on site with live music by The Rumble
Ft. Chief Joseph Boudreaux Jr. with special guest Float Like A Buffalo.
The Rumble Ft. Chief Joseph Boudreaux Jr.
Fronted by Big Chief Joseph Boudreaux Jr. of the Young Eagles Black Masking Indian tribe, the band seamlessly blends past, present, and future elements of New Orleans culture into their sound. The Rumble features an exceptional lineup of musicians: Aurélien Barnes on trumpet/percussion, José Maize Jr. on trombone, TJ Norris on bass, Ari Teitel on guitar, Andriu Yanovski on keys, and Trenton O’Neal on drums. Each member brings unique influences ranging from funk to hiphop to brass band, gospel, jazz, and classical. This results in a powerful synergy that captivates audiences with electrifying performances and call-and-response chanting rooted in Mardi Gras Indian traditions. Their music is a vibrant, authentic, and original expansion of iconic styles pioneered by groups like The Meters, Wild Magnolias, and Neville Brothers.
Float Like A Buffalo
Float Like a Buffalo delivers high-energy rock n’ roll, layered with funk, jam, and a bold brass section – a genre-bending live experience that gets the whole room moving

Enjoy Charleston’s free, Friday-night summer concert series set to the backdrop of the Kanawha River. Food trucks and beverage vendors on site.
GUEST ARTISTS: Alana Springsteen with special guest Adam Parker & The Bourbon Cowboys
Alana Springsteen
A multi-instrumentalist with uncompromising vision, Springsteen plays guitar and piano throughout her albums and co-produces all her material, shaping each song with a hands-on precision that underscores her identity as both author and architect. Rooted in Country but unbound by its edges, she pulls freely from Alt-Pop and beyond, building a sonic world as expansive as it is emotionally exacting.

Morning Yoga
Saturday, May 23 | 9am
Join Beth Moore, Folded Leaf yoga instructor, for a 60 minute, breath-based flow to cultivate clarity & focus your day.
You’ll have a continuous flow class with breath work throughout and less guidance to allow you to lean into your breath. We’ll start with some pranayama to jumpstart the system then get right into a couple progressive flows, ending with a little gentle mobility for the hips. A great session when you need to find your Zen before a day of activity. All levels welcome. Mats and props will be provided if you do not have your own.
Produced by Folded Leaf Yoga Studio
Location: Haddad River Front Park, 600 Kanawha Blvd E, Charleston, WV 25301
