River Voices is more than a band—it’s an experience. Fronted by powerhouse vocalists and songwriters Jaqui Hope and Linda Arceo, this 7-piece ensemble from the Monterey Bay brings an unforgettable fusion of emotion, artistry, and energy to every stage they grace.

Formed in 2023, River Voices captivates audiences with original music that is heartfelt and genre-defying. With soaring harmonies, masterful songwriting, and a sound that flows effortlessly between soul, Americana, roots, and jazz, Jaqui and Linda take listeners on a journey through life’s most poignant moments—love, loss, resilience, and celebration.

At the heart of River Voices are Jaqui and Linda, whose individual talents and shared passion create an undeniable synergy.
