Rhythm on the River is back beginning Friday.

The Rhythm on the River concerts begin at 6 p.m. Oct. 8, and will be held every Friday in October after that in the Riverwalk Amphitheater in West Columbia.  Rhythm on the River is sponsored by Lexington Medical Center, Nephron and United Community Bank. The City of West Columbia is also a sponsor.

Steve Cohen, a Chamber Board member, has been a volunteer with Rhythm on the River since the concerts began, 17 years ago.

“I’m so excited that this incredible family event is coming back,” Cohen said. “It has been missed dearly and it’s a gift to the community.” He said even dogs make friends at Rhythm on the River. 
The Rhythm on the River schedule is as follows:

• Oct 8 – Radio Source
• Oct 15- Chris Reed and The Bad Kids
• Oct 22- Walter Hemingway and the Nahi Gruv Band
• Oct 29 – Kenny George Band

There will also be a food truck on-site for each of the concerts.
