There is an underlying theme in the songs of singer/songwriter River Lynch...stay true to yourself and be whoever you wish to be.  Starting out in Rochester, NY,  River began pursuing his passion for writing songs at the age of seventeen.  Determined to forge his own path, River made the decision to leave college and dedicate his life to writing, recording, and performing music in a style that is completely his own. 

​

River Lynch performs both Solo Acoustic and with his band - River Lynch & The Spiritmakers. Rock ‘n’ Roll, Roots Rock, Blues, Americana and Folk music are among the different styles that make up Rivers sound.

​

The bands original music revolves around the songwriting structure of River's songs;  a singer-songwriter with a rock solid band.  Although influenced by music from the fifties, sixties, and seventies, River avoids simply being a replication of the past and instead has set out to create an identity all his own.  

​

River released his debut EP There Goes the Heart in 2016. The original intention of the band was to release the EP but quickly grew into what has now become River Lynch and The Spiritmakers.  They continue to release music and have been performing live across New York, the East Coast, and Canada.  As of 2025, River is currently recording his full length debut Solo album. 

 

River Lynch has opened for Lyle Lovett and His Large Band, Three Dog Night, The SteelDrivers, Dave Mason, Rusted Root, The Blue Stones, Jesse Dayton, Carbon Leaf, and the Legendary Shack Shakers.  ​
