The lineup for fifth Rock for the River concert

Besides Jay Nash and Joe Purdy, artists to be featured at the fifth annual Rock for the River concert are:

Amber Rubarth:After three years of a full-time wood-sculpting apprenticeship, Ms. Rubarth traded in her chain saw for a guitar and taught herself to write and play songs. The career change paid off. Her album "Something New" was released in 2005. The song "Washing Day," off her second release, "Unfinished Art," won first place in the 2007 International Songwriting Competition. This is her first Rock for the River appearance. She will appear Friday only. On the Web: www.myspace.com/amberrubarth
