The 2026 Levitt AMP Cumberland Music Series presents a performance of Americana, folk rock and roots on Thursday, August 13. Based in Austin, Blue Water Highway captivates audiences with rich harmonies, thoughtful songwriting and live performances that are as entertaining as they are emotionally resonant. Known for blending modern influences with traditional roots, the band creates music that feels both timeless and refreshingly original. Drawing comparisons to iconic artists such as The Eagles, Bruce Springsteen and Counting Crows, Blue Water Highway crafts songs that are grounded in authentic storytelling and carried by memorable melodies. Their sound strikes a balance between familiarity and innovation, inviting listeners into songs that linger long after the final note.The Levitt AMP Cumberland Music Series brings the community together each summer through ten free, live outdoor concerts that celebrate music, connection and place. The series energizes Cumberland’s historic city center and showcases the Festival Grounds at Canal Place. With sweeping water views, gorgeous mountain scenery and a lively, welcoming atmosphere, Levitt AMP concerts have become a beloved gathering place to celebrate arts and culture in the tri-state western Maryland community.
Launched in 2023, the series features free, family‑friendly concerts showcasing artists from a wide range of musical genres. Each week brings the community together—neighbors, friends and visitors of all ages—for an evening that celebrates music, connection and the arts. Attendees are encouraged to bring a blanket or a chair, invite friends and enjoy a vibrant summer tradition in the heart of Cumberland.
