Fourth Annual WRSA June Concert at Magic Mountain: A Celebration of Community and Collaboration

Magic Mountain, VT May 31, 2025 – West River Sports Association, in collaboration with Mountain Towns Recreation, is thrilled to announce the third annual WRSA June Concert at Magic Mountain, set to take place on Saturday, May 31st, 2025. We are excited to bring back our tradition of hosting an on-snow Nordic event, and will follow with last year’s precedence of two incredible bands and a DJ! Additionally, there will be games for the kids.

THE SNOW!:

The snow is back and we are harvesting a massive pile in our capsule of hay, to be spread out for our May event – come watch this uncanny experience of snow in Vermont in May. We plan to feature a nordic sprint with gates and race heats, including world cup international level elite skiers. The race is open to all so come test your skills against the best in the world!

THE LINEUP!:

Our opening act is local Vermont band called Jatoba, whose self proclaimed genre is “GROOVEGRASS.” “Their music consists of high-energy bluegrass-tinged covers and originals with thumping upright bass lines and soaring vocal harmonies.”

Our headliner this year is The Weight Band, featuring members of the original The Band and The Levon Helm Band. We are so excited to welcome this 5 piece ensemble of talent to rock the Magic house! It will be a show not to miss!

Over the past three years, the WRSA spring Concert at Magic Mountain has brought together our community while providing vital financial support to the West River Sports Association. For the second year, we are excited to expand our reach and impact by including MTR as an important benefactor. This will help ensure that our amazing comprehensive youth sports program continue to thrive.

Mountain Towns Recreation program is over a year into its existence. We know how effective and important the creation of this has become, which happened because of the collaboration of five towns, dedicated to handling the logistical and administrative aspects of youth sports and beyond. WRSA and FBAA, both longstanding volunteer non-profits, have been champions of youth sports for decades, organizing a wide range of activities including K-6 basketball, baseball, softball, t-ball, soccer, and Nordic skiing.

Together, these three organizations are committed to providing top-notch experiences for our youth, from updating equipment to maintaining fields, all while fostering a sense of community and collaboration.

Join us for an afternoon of music, fun and great food, and support our youth sports programs. Let’s come together to celebrate our community and lay the groundwork for a bright future for our young athletes!

The groundbreaking rapper, singer, songwriter, musician, poet, writer, and actor Saul Williams, who burst into the public consciousness as Nuyorican Poets Cafe’s Grand Slam Champion in 1996 and then the star of the 1998 independent hit Slam, has since toured the world with his band, opened for Nine Inch Nails, and had records produced by Rick Rubin and Trent Reznor. His performance at MASS MoCA celebrates the opening of Vincent Valdez’s major exhibition Just a Dream… The two artists’ politically charged work interrogates the American experience with a furious rigor and dynamism that our historical moment cries out for.

About the Artist:
Saul Williams came to public attention after the release of the internationally acclaimed film Slam (dir. Marc Levin), which he co-wrote and starred in, introducing the world to the Slam Poetry movement, and winning Sundance’s Grand Jury Prize and the Cannes Camera D’Or, in 1998. Williams has performed in over 30 countries and read his poetry at over 300 universities, with invitations that have spanned from the White House, the Sydney Opera House, Lincoln Center, the Louvre, the Getty Center, Queen Elizabeth Hall, to villages, townships, community centers, and prisons across the world. Saul has published five books of poetry which have been translated into several languages. His writings and lesson plans surrounding his work have been added to the curriculum of schools and universities around the world. Saul Williams has released six albums and toured or collaborated with dozens of artists including Kanye West, Nas, Janelle Monae, Nine Inch Nails, Rage Against The Machine, The Roots, Mos Def, The Mars Volta, David Cross, Allen Ginsburg, Amiri Baraka, Gil Scott-Heron, Jose James, Arthur H, Camille, Ayo, TV On The Radio, System Of A Down, KRS ONE, DJ Krust, DJ Spooky, Cold Cut, Matisyahu, Blackalicious, K’naan, K-OS, and Erykah Badu.

Guster and The Mountain Goats take to MASS MoCA’s Courtyard D stage. Hear why Boston.com says rock group Guster is “back in a big way,” and Pitchfork declares that “Few working artists have accumulated a richer body of lore than the Mountain Goats,” at this unmissable summer show.

$1 per ticket supports 501c3 nonprofit Reverb, who are dedicated to creating a more sustainable music industry and empowering millions of individuals to take action toward a better future for people and the planet.

About the Artists:
Guster
Not long before the making of their new album Ooh La La, Guster celebrated three decades together as a band—a journey that’s included landing a series of hits on the Billboard charts, working with luminaries like Steve Lillywhite and Richard Swift, launching their own music festival, and amassing an ardent fanbase partly on the strength of their relentless touring and deeply communal live show. But despite reaching a milestone few musical acts ever come close to attaining, Guster’s ninth studio LP reveals a band fully in touch with the voracious creative energy that first inspired their formation. A major leap forward for lead vocalist Ryan Miller, guitarist Adam Gardner, drummer Brian Rosenworcel, and multi-instrumentalist Luke Reynolds, Ooh La La ultimately matches that wide-eyed spirit with a newly heightened sense of confidence, conviction, and commitment to the raw sincerity that’s made them so beloved.

The Mountain Goats
Jenny from Thebes began its life as many albums by the Mountain Goats do, with John Darnielle playing the piano until a lyric emerged. That lyric, “Jenny was a warrior Jenny was a thief Jenny hit the corner clinic begging for relief,” became “Jenny III,” a song which laid down a challenge he’d never taken up before: writing a sequel to one of his most beloved albums. This is what a follow-up to All Hail West Texas entails. But if you think about the Mountain Goats as they were in 2001, when Darnielle wrote and recorded that album on his own, mostly into his Panasonic RX-FT500 boombox, and how they are now as the recording and touring outfit of Darnielle, Peter Hughes, Matt Douglas, and Jon Wurster, you may find yourself asking how. That occurred to Darnielle, too. “If we’re going to do a sequel to a record that was recorded almost entirely on a boombox,” he asks,“why not do the opposite and make it as big as possible?”

Wild Adriatic is back in action and releasing their long-awaited follow-up album to 2017’s Feel. Six years in the making, the new self-titled album encompasses songs written and recorded together in a studio apartment in Lake George, NY. After a pandemic and a band hiatus, the tracks have new life breathed into them and the band is excited to finally have new music out in the world once again. Self Titled finds the band firmly back in the saddle, weaving rock, soul & blues into the trademark sound of one of Upstate New York’s most beloved rock n’ roll exports. The group celebrates the release of their third full length studio album on Friday April 18th at their hometown venue Putnam Place in Saratoga Springs NY.

Reese Fulmer & The Carriage House Band are an indie-folk/americana ensemble that doesn’t get caught up in how things are supposed to be done. Working mostly with expansive live albums, a mailing list and word of mouth, Reese and his band have become one of the fastest-rising groups in upstate NY by cutting their own path. With a rotating cast of top players, a broad and dynamic body of work, and a refusal to set anything in stone, their shows are always fresh, full of joy, and hard to describe. Think Wilco with hints of Prine and Zappa.

Musician Chris Merenda and a rotating cast of friends play every 2nd & 4th Wednesday on The Stationary Factory stage in Dalton, Massachusetts. This week’s guests are Picky Bastards.
