FOLLOW THE ARROW, the second annual edition of the Hudson Valley festival presented by Marco Benevento at Arrowood Farms in Accord, NY, has been announced for Saturday, June 17. Benevento and his band will be joined by Rubblebucket, The Barr Brothers, Scott Metzger, and Benevento Family Band. A second round of artists and special guests will be revealed in early April.
The inaugural FOLLOW THE ARROW festival was created by Benevento along with his record label Royal Potato Family and Impact Concerts in 2022. It featured performances by Antibalas, The Slip, and Mikaela Davis among others, while a musically diverse assortment of special guests accompanied the pianist during his set, including Elvis Perkins, Sam Evian, Cochemea Gastelum and Stuart Bogie. The audience—emerging from the throes of the pandemic—was met by a pervasive sense of joy and positivity over the course of the day. NYS Music wrote “the atmosphere was family friendly without sacrifice of artistry or musicality. Follow The Arrow was a place to celebrate values and emphasize the importance of self expression for generations to come.”
“We’re so excited to invite everyone back to FOLLOW THE ARROW this summer. As anyone who attended last year will tell you, it was a magical day. Everyone partied and had an amazing experience, but it was also family friendly vibes where you could bring your kiddos and relax because they were having as much fun as everyone else,” says Benevento. “This year’s line-up includes some of my all-time favorite musicians and we’ll be revealing a few exciting additional artists and plans for the day in the coming weeks. We’re still feeling it from last year, so you know we’re only gonna build on it and have ourselves an absolute blast.”
Tickets go on sale on March 24 at 10 a.m., including an allotment of discounted early bird tickets. For more information about Follow The Arrow Festival and to purchase tickets, visit here.
