About the event

For the third Riverside Sessions of the 2025 Season, we're excited to bring back The Extraordinaires! This performance is open to all ages and is BYOB. Show will begin at 7pm, ship opens at 6:30pm.

The Extraordinaires are a five-piece American indie rock band hailing from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, known for their mix of upbeat hum-along melodies and lyrical storytelling. Founding members, Jay Purdy and Matt Gibson, have worked together since 2001, traveling the US and abroad while creating a bizarre gallery of colorful characters and slice-of-life vignettes that spring to life in their songs. They have been featured on NPR's 'All Songs Considered' podcast and were the subject of a vérité style audio documentary that followed their exploits while staging their original musical, 'Ribbons of War'.

This event has a rain date of August 31st at 6:30PM.
