With the Americana scene and Country music converging into a new realm of overlapping fans (Jason Isbell), festivals are catching. While Arizona’s Country Thunder holds down the fort for the Luke Bryans out there- a new festival is zeroing in on the Lord Hurons.
Dreamy Draw, is a two-day music festival debuting in the historic heart of Old Town Scottsdale in partnership with non-profit Scottsdale Arts on Nov. 3rd – 4th.
The event will capture the sounds of the American West, a nod to the city’s historic frontier roots, presenting over two dozen of the very best artists today in country, folk, Americana, roots and rock music. The line-up includes Midland, Margo Price, Lord Huron, Trampled by Turtles, Stephen Wilson, Hailey Whitters.
In addition to nationally known stars, Dreamy Draw is committed to highlighting emerging regional bands, shaping the sound of the new West. Local acts curated in partnership with Scottsdale Arts include Evan Honer, Taylor Glasheen and The Senators.
The three-stage outdoor festival is housed in the 40-acre Scottsdale Civic Center, which opened in January following a $35 million construction process. Each of Dreamy Draw’s stages offer intimate spaces to watch world class performers, while enjoying the comfort of shaded grassy lawns, tree lined areas and some of the West’s most amazing sunsets. The festival site is located in the heart of Old Town Scottsdale, providing easy walking access to the city’s world class bars, restaurants and hotels.
“We’re excited to bring a brand-new festival with a stellar lineup to the Valley, and we’re especially looking forward to hosting it in the beautiful amphitheaters of the newly renovated Scottsdale Civic Center,” said Dr. Gerd Wuestemann, President & CEO of Scottsdale Arts. “Scottsdale is intimately tied to the histories and mythologies of the American West. Our lovely new outdoor venues, right here in the heart of Old Town Scottsdale, create a perfect location for a new festival of American roots music.”
Dreamy Draw will honor the frontier sound and history of Scottsdale, a Pima village that became ‘The West’s Most Western Town’, a destination intertwined with frontier ranching, cattle drives, cowboys and artists, located in the Sonoran Desert’s spectacular Valley of Sun.
Dreamy Draw will serve its patrons some of the best cuisine this famed region has to offer, hand picked from local vendors. A bespoke cocktail program developed from up-and-coming artisanal artist, Austin Blanchard, delivering luscious regional specialties.
As part of its programming, Dreamy Draw will take over the Monarch Hotel pool to offer up a one-of-a-kind VIP artist package that will include private rooms overlooking the festival and access to the artist backstage area. Attendees can be on the lookout for additional programming and unique collaborations with other Dreamy Draw partners like the Seager Co. and the ever-popping Country Night crew.
A percentage of proceeds from Dreamy Draw will be donated back to its non-profit partner, Scottsdale Arts.
