Mike Semrad & the Riverhawks are Lincoln, Nebraska’s answer to a velvet-smooth groove machine, channeling the spirit of classic 60s and 70s R&B into a live show that feels equal parts revival and revelation. Fronted by Semrad’s soulful delivery and backed by a razor-tight rhythm section, the band brings a full horn lineup that punches, sways, and shouts in all the right places. Their sound is steeped in the timeless stylings of legends like Sam Cooke, Tower of Power, and Stevie Wonder, blending silky melodies with deep-pocket funk and gospel-kissed energy.

But this isn’t a museum piece, it’s a dance floor ignition switch. The Riverhawks specialize in turning any room into a moving, grooving celebration, where polished musicianship meets pure, unfiltered joy. Whether it’s a packed festival stage or an intimate club, they deliver a high-octane, hip-shaking experience that invites everyone in the room to loosen their collar, find the beat, and stay a while
