“I was really excited to have the Riverthieves close out our festival this year. I love that they’re celebrating 20 years as a band, and that this was their fifth time playing at Celtfest. It’s wonderful to have such a dedicated and established group be part of our community”
– Kristina Skeries, Artistic Director of Almonte Celtfest
“The Riverthieves really brought the good to our stages at Stewart Park - high energy, excellent musicianship and the ability to connect with the audience in the best way. Thoroughly enjoyable!”
– James Keelaghan, Artistic Director, Stewart Park Festival
"The Riverthieves present a lively mix of trad tunes and originals. We've presented them for a number of years now at Rock Barra Retreat in eastern Prince Edward Island. They are an annual favourite with our audiences."
– Teresa Doyle, JUNO nominee
"There is a real appropriateness of the repertoire chosen, including audience favourites, Canadian and Celtic Folk classics, and original compositions. The level of difficulty and unusual demands this diversity of material calls for is met with skill and musical understanding."
- Byron Hermann, Director and Producer
"The Riverthieves put on a fantastic show at the Metcalfe Fair, southeast of Ottawa. They are a very talented group who kept the crowd dancing all afternoon! The Riverthieves are able to adapt any show to suit their audience all while providing hours of entertainment for both the young and the young at heart. A highly recommended group who will surely bring your next party, festival or event to life!"
– Colleen Magee, Director, Metcalfe Fair
"Full of energy and imaginative lyrics, you'll be stomping your feet the whole time."
- Nathalie Cleroux, Artistic Director of the Almonte Celtfest
