River Ridge Ranch / Institute is a 720 acre working ranch located in the southern Sierra Nevada foothills community of Springville. The ranch property is part of a nature conservancy. We host educational, outdoor, and ranchland / grassland research programs throughout the year. We also host a concert series in a roundhouse pavilion that holds 150 people. In recent years we have been focused on female-fronted groups in order to bring greater equity to the performance stage. Folk, acoustic, blues, and light / alternative rock are genres we are drawn to.
