I’m very thankful to the performers and the Ruddock family for years of joyful music and company.” Michael B, a Nashua resident and frequent Riverwalk patron said of the news, “So many talented performers, so many wonderful shows, such a warm and intimate setting, unlike anything I’ve experienced. the venue was intimate but with enough space/atmosphere to feel like you were at a bigger venue if you hit the crowd with the right songs… It will leave a hole in the southern NH folk scene that will not be easily replaced.”

#RIVERWALK CAFE AND MUSIC BAR PROFESSIONAL#

I always enjoyed playing at Riverwalk because I knew I was going to have professional sound and a great crowd…. It was the only spot south of Manchester that catered not only to local artists but also nationally touring bands. On playing at the venue, Tim Cackett of the bands Town Meeting and Mama Ain’t Dead reminisced that, “Riverwalk Cafe was a pillar in the southern NH folk scene. Artists like The Stray Birds, Twisted Pine, Della Mae, Parsonsfield, and Bella’s Bartok have all performed on the tiny corner stage in Nashua. Riverwalk Cafe has hosted dozens of touring and local acts that span the gamut in genre. Ruddock continues, explaining that “We see a unique opportunity to provide more offerings as a hybrid coffee cafe and cocktail bar instead of just being known as a music venue requiring a cover charge.” While the stage will no longer regularly feature live music, the cafe and bar - which boasts a friendly staff and a world-class food and drink menu - will continue to welcome diners. “As we head into our tenth year of business in 2020 and look at the vibrancy of Downtown Nashua, specifically a lot of new housing available and the plan for a Performing Arts Center, we’ve decided to take a hiatus from hosting regularly scheduled live music…” according to owner Steve Ruddock in a press release from last Thursday. The decision comes to the dismay of countless music fans and even to the musicians who’ve graced Riverwalk’s stage. After nearly ten years of hosting amazing music, Riverwalk Cafe and Music Bar in Nashua, NH will cease its regular live music offerings by fall, 2019.
