Driftwood

This five-piece Americana band from upstate New York plays music firmly rooted in the past with a foot-stomping fervor that is all about living in the present.While the acoustic configuration may tempt one to label them a bluegrass act, Driftwood's sound owes as much a nod to ‘60s R&B, ‘70s country rock, and contemporary pop as it does to folk and traditional Appalachian music. Live, it all comes together in a frenetic performance that has made the band a returning favorite at festivals and dance halls for much of the last decade.
