One of my favorite summer events, The Green River Festival, has announced the first artists for this year and it includes some of my most-loved acts!

Great music, chill atmosphere, fabulous food trucks (seriously), wonderful beer provided – at least in the past – by Berkshire Brewing Company, terrific artisans selling their ware, and hot air balloons all contribute to a spectacular festival!

“The Green River Festival is pleased to announce fourteen more artists slated to perform this July along with Lake Street Dive and Joe Russo’s Almost Dead who were confirmed in January. Praised by Rolling Stone, The New York Times, and USA TODAY as an “essential” not to be missed music festival, The Green River festival is in its 31st year.
