Saturday Night Live alumnus Kevin Nealon, Canadian rockers I Mother Earth and singer/songwriter Serena Ryder are just some of the performance highlights of the River Run Centre's upcoming 2018 season that was announced on Wednesday.

Nealon, whose work includes many movies and several television shows, will bring his show to the River Run in April 2019.
