Falls of the Ohio Foundation is excited to announce Mama Said String Band as our headliner for the 2026 Rock the Rocks Concert!

Mama Said String Band is an instant classic, since 2016 they’ve been bringing their own brand of the grassroots music you’re so used to hearing to stages everywhere. Based out of Louisville, KY, Mama Said String Band brings a refreshing reinvention to Bluegrass, Folk and Americana while focusing on vocal harmonies and contemporary instrumentation. Having won several notable regional awards including album of the year in the Lexington Music Awards for “Carry The Water”, Best Bluegrass Band in the Appalachian Arts and Entertainment Awards, Bluegrass Artist of the Year in the Lexington Music Awards and with three nominations under their belt, they have made a notable imprint in the Kentucky Music Scene. They bring big, relatable emotions and honest songwriting to every show, leaving fans always wanting more.

In addition to the annual ticketed concert event, this year we are hosting a free Family-friendly festival from 9 a.m. – 3 p.m. on the 26th. We’ll have free admissions and docent led tours of the exhibits and fun activities and learning stations from our community partners and mission-aligned organizations. You can learn about clean water, birding, fossils, the wildlife that call this area home, history, and more! The daytime family festival is free of charge but tickets are required to attend the evening concert. The proceeds from the event help support the amazing work we do here at the Falls.
