RIVERBOAT
Riverboat is a Folk Band Trio catering to the memorable sounds of the sixties Yorkville folk scene in Toronto. The Riverboat was a coffee house which hosted such famed artists as John Prine, Joni Mitchell, Murry McLauchlan and of course the ever popular Toronto icon Gordon Lightfoot.

Founded by William Kidd Barnes, the band "RiverBoat" expresses the old feeling conjured by the sounds of it's Heroes and takes you back to a younger day of the Toronto Music Scene.

Joined by Gary Haughton on lead guitar and Chris Wright on Bass and vocals, Bill (William) Barnes plays and sings a style very true to the original sounds. Bill is also a songwriter in a very familiar way.

Come join us at our next venue. Sit back, relax and remember where you were when you last heard the familiar tunes played for you by..."RIVERBOAT".
