“We’re excited to bring WaterWheel’s 25th Anniversary celebration to our hometown of Burlington, Vermont, and are grateful to Nectar’s Presents and Osiris Media for their help in bringing this amazing event to life,” said Beth Montuori Rowles, WaterWheel’s Executive Director. “In keeping with the spirit of WaterWheel’s 25th Anniversary, we’ll be donating the proceeds raised from this event to support efforts to clean up the Lake Champlain watershed, which is where the first funds raised by the Foundation were donated back in 1997.”

There will also be three sets of music performed by an all-star collective made up of Rob Compa (Dopapod), Chuck Jones (Dopapod), Adrian Tramontano (Kung Fu, The Breakfast), Bob Wagner (Kat Wright) and Josh Weinstein (Kat Wright). Additional special guests are expected as well. One of the sets will be a tribute to the Aquarium Rescue Unit.

“The WaterWheel Foundation has spurred so much fan-driven philanthropy over the past 25 years, and we wanted to celebrate this in the only way we know how — with a combination of insightful interviews and amazing music,” said RJ Bee, CEO of Osiris Media. “Every time we bring music and conversation together at one of these events, it always brings out new stories and perspectives. And that helps to enhance the musical experience too.”

Earlier this year, Nectar’s announced it would team with JamBase partners Osiris Media to create an in-house podcast studio within the venue that was an early home to Phish. “Osiris North” will host both podcast recordings and live events in the space formerly home to the Metronome Bar.

“Celebrating WaterWheel’s 25th Anniversary at Nectar’s?!,” said Ed Maier, managing partner of Nectar’s. “That’s like peanut butter and jelly. It doesn’t get any better. And involving our good friends from Osiris Media is just icing on the cake. We’re really looking forward to a fantastic night of conversation, music, and raising funds which will help clean up beautiful Lake Champlain.”
