FEST: Disc Jam Music Festival Returns to Stephentown

The eighth annual Disc Jam Music Festival is headed back to Gardner’s Farm in Stephentown, just minutes from the Massachusetts border. The four-day, music-filled weekend features more than 80 artists, in addition to disc golf tournaments, Flow Tribe dancers, craft vending, yoga workshops and much more from Thursday-Sunday, June 7-10.

The 2018 artist lineup includes a heavy dose of national and regional funk and jam band artists, in addition to collaboratives and side projects. Headliners include Lotus, Beats Antique, Galactic, The Motet, Electron (feat. members of Lotus and Joe Russo’s Almost Dead), Disco Biscuits guitarist Jon ‘The Barber’ Gutwillig (solo acoustic set), DJ Logic & Friends (featuring members of the Disco Biscuits, Dopapod and Turkuaz), Gubbulidis (Twiddle side project), Kung Fu, Moon Hooch, Aqueous, Ghost Note (Snarky Puppy side project), Tom Marshall’s Amfibian All-Stars and Ghost Light (Tom Hamilton and Holly Bowling project).

As the name Disc Jam would imply, this 4 day event features the fast growing sport of disc golf and festival grounds hold a 27-hole disc golf course on site. A variety of activities and workshops are a big attraction for Disc Jam, including flow art workshops, daily yoga sessions, interactive music and art amidst the festival grounds, plus craft and art vending that help make Disc Jam create a unique and memorable experience for fans. Music can be found on twin Main stages, ensuring nonstop music well into the night along with the massive Tent stage and a Woods stage that features nightly takeovers by NV Concepts, Rezinate, Sermon and The Rust featuring some of the top names in bass and house music. The Wook of Wall Street will be hosting a nightly silent disco party lasting until sunrise.
