19th Nervous Breakdown (Rolling Stones Tribute) at the Charlestown Rathskeller
19th Nervous Breakdown (Rolling Stones Tribute) at the Charlestown Rathskeller brings classic rock swagger and Rolling Stones energy to Charlestown Rathskeller Tavern on Saturday, May 23, from 8:00 to 11:00 PM. Set among the outdoor seating, fire pits, and wooded atmosphere of the historic Rathskeller property, the night combines live rock music with one of Rhode Island’s most recognizable summer nightlife destinations.
Headlining the evening is 19th Nervous Breakdown, a regional tribute act dedicated to recreating the sound, attitude, and stage energy of The Rolling Stones. The band’s performances pull from decades of Stones classics and deeper catalog favorites, delivering the guitar riffs, blues-rock grooves, and larger-than-life swagger that helped define arena rock for generations. From danceable crowd favorites to rawer rock-and-roll cuts, the show leans heavily into the feeling of a full classic rock concert rather than a simple cover set.
The Charlestown Rathskeller setting adds another layer to the experience, encouraging guests to arrive early for food, drinks, and outdoor gathering before the music starts. Between the rustic atmosphere, open-air layout, and holiday weekend energy, the venue naturally fits a night built around timeless rock songs and dancing under the trees. For longtime Rolling Stones fans, casual classic rock listeners, or anyone simply looking for a lively Memorial Day weekend night out, 19th Nervous Breakdown delivers exactly the kind of soundtrack the Rathskeller was made for.
