Greenwich natives Eastbound Jesus were named Metroland’s “Best Alt-Country Band” in the newsprint’s Best of 2015 edition. Eastbound’s newest album, Hollerin’ , came out this past May. Eastbound is also looking for help from fans and music lovers to help fund their next album through a PledgeMusic.com campaign.

Eastbound Jesus formed in 2010. The band starting playing together in a barn just outside of Greenwich. Their debut album, Greatest Hits Vol.1, was recorded in a bedroom in 2011. The band also won the Saratoga Performing Arts Battle of the Bands in 2011.

The North & South Dakotas formed in the winter of 2011. The folk rock & roll band from Upstate New York crafts their sound around old-time American music.

Saranac Lake natives The Blind Owl Band released their first album, Rabble Rousin, in 2012 when the band has been only playing for less than a year together, and they now have another album under their belt.

Green will play a Grateful Dead-inspired set, and Saratoga Spring natives the Rodeo Barons will bring their alt-country rock sound to the show.
