Larkin's Rhythm on the River
Larkin's Rhythm on the River is the only concert series in Greenville which brings some of the top "Beach Music" talent right from the Grand Strand to the Banks of the Reedy River in Downtown Greenville.
The Season kicks off this year on May17th with the "TAMS" - and finishes 17 weeks later with the "Swingin' Medallions".
Larkin's Rhythm on the River raised over $8,000 for charity in its first year owned & operated by Larkin's on the River. In addition to the funds directly raised by the concert series, Larkin's partnered with The Ronald McDonald House in Greenville to produce the "McNight on the Town" - which raised over $13,000 for the Ronald McDonald House.
This year our Rhythm on the River goal is higher, and we have again partnered with Ronald McDonald House to host the "McNight on the Town" on September 13th, 2007
