The 10th annual Eastbound Throwdown is upon us, taking place September 5 and 6 at the Irwin Family Farm in Salem. The lineup consists of returning fan favorites and fresh new faces, with host band Eastbound Jesus performing both nights. The Eastbound Throwdown Lineup will include genres such as bluegrass, country, and Americana.
Beginning in 2015 at Elks Lodge in Greenwich, the Eastbound Throwdown has expanded to a two day event at the Irwin Farm with over a dozen acts. Since coming back from a break in 2020, the festival has seen a growth in over a thousand attendees. This event is lively and fun while still maintaining a family friendly environment, with children under 15 getting in for free.
Eastbound Jesus is a Northern Rock/Bluegrass/Americana band from Greenwich. The band members include bassist Dave Wright, Zack Infante on the lap steel and electric guitar, electric guitarist Andrew Lynch, acoustic guitarist and vocalist Adam Brockway, Drums and vocalist Carl Anderson, and Luke Anderson on Banjo and vocals. The band has made a big impact on the community, being returning favorites of the festival, developing an audience that sings along to every song.
