Story and Photographs by Rudy Lu
The Hudson Valley echoed again with the joyful sounds of music on June 21-22 as the 36th annual Clearwater Great Hudson River Revival Festival was held at Croton Point Park.
The two days of music filled the five main stages, as well as multiple additional performing areas.
The music was not only delightful, but also diverse, including:
The traditional folk songs, blues, spirituals and sea shanties sung by the Sloop Singers, the Ebony Hillbillies, Linda Richards & Friends, Bernice Johnson Reagon, Josh White Jr. and Betty & the Baby Boomers…
The wonderful world music of Dublin2Delhi and MAKU Sound System…
The new folk/Americana sounds of Spirit Family Reunion, Toshi Reagon & Big Lovely and Houndmouth…
The classic rock of Garland Jeffreys…
The scorching R&B of Bettye LaVette…
The unplugged jam-band music of moe...
The country sounds of Lucinda Williams…
This year’s festivities were dedicated to founders Toshi and Pete Seeger. And although they are no longer with us, they were certainly there in spirit.
